interface management
Enters configuration mode for the management interface. Also used for binding ACLs to a
management interface.
Synopsis interface management rbridge-id/port
Operands rbridge-id/port Specifies the management interface to be configured as the rbridge-id
followed by a slash (/) and the port number.
port On compact switches, the port number for the management port is
always 0.
On a modular switches with two redundant management modules, can
configure two management ports: 1 and 2.
Defaults DHCP is disabled.
IPv6 stateless auto-configuration is disabled.
The speed setting is auto.
Command Modes Global configuration mode
Description Use this command to configure the management interface. This command supports IP addresses
in IPv6 and IPv4 format. This command enters a management interface configuration mode where
you can choose configuration parameters for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
Once you have executed this command, the following commands become available to configure
the management interface:
• ip address
• ip access-group
• ip gateway-address (Refer to the Usage Guidelines.)
• ip route
• ipv6 address
• ipv6 access-group
• speed
Usage Guidelines The ip gateway-address command will not be available on the Brocade VDX series if the Layer 3 or
Advanced Services license is installed. In that case, use the following command sequence:
switch(config)# rbridge-id 1
switch(config-rbridge-id-1)# ip route 0000/0 <default_gateway_address>
Setting a static IPv4 address and DHCP are mutually exclusive. If DHCP is enabled, you must
disable DHCP before you can configure a static IPv4 address.
A static IPv6 address and stateless auto-configuration can coexist.
Auto-configuration is configured chassis-wide and you configure it always under
interface management rbridge-id/1. Once the feature is configured under interface management
rbridge-id/1 it is configured for both management interfaces.
Enter no ip address ipv4_address/prefix_len dhcp to disable DHCP. For other operands, use the
no form of the command to remove the corresponding configuration.
Enter no speed to restore speed parameters to their defaults.
