Re-enabling the SSH service
Re-enabling the SSH (Secure Socket Handling) service permits SSH access to a switch.
You must be in global configuration mode to shut down the SSH service on a switch.
To re-enable the SSH service on a switch enter no ssh server shutdown.
switch(config)# no ssh server shutdown
switch(config)#
NOTE
If you are in VCS mode, you must enter RBridge ID configuration mode before
issuing the command, as shown in the example below.
switch(config)# rbridge-id 3
switch(config-rbridge-id-3)# no ssh server shutdown
Using the management VRF
VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding) is a technology that controls information flow within a network,
isolating the traffic by partitioning the network into different logical VRF domains. Prior to Network OS
release 5.0.0, routers were managed through the "default" VRF; any port that was part of the default
VRF could be used for router management.
ATTENTION
Beginning with Network OS release 5.0.0, the default VRF and other user-configured (nondefault)
VRFs can no longer be used for router management. Inband management over ports that are part of
the default VRF or another user-configured nondefault VRF are no longer supported. Support is now
provided for the "management" VRF; this is a dedicated, secure VRF instance that allows users to
manage the router inband on switched virtual interfaces (SVIs) and physical interfaces. and that is
allowed only on management VRF ports. For details, as well examples of configuring the management
VRF and the use of a variety of show commands, see
Understanding and using the management
VRF .
Configuring and managing switches
The following sections describe how to configure and manage Brocade switches.
Configuring Ethernet management interfaces
The Ethernet network interface provides management access, including direct access to the Network
OS CLI. You must configure at least one IP address using a serial connection to the CLI before you
can manage the system with other management interfaces. You can either configure static IP
addresses, or you can use a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client to acquire IP
addresses automatically. For IPv6 addresses, both static IPv6 and stateless IPv6 autoconfiguration
are supported.
