The data interfaces in the Brocade Virtual ADX software are numbered in the order that the virtual
NICs are added. You must configure the data interfaces only through the Brocade Virtual ADX
interface commands. The following command on the Brocade Virtual ADX displays the state of the
interfaces.

Brocade Virtual ADX supports the following cURL tool.
cURL
The cURL command line tool is for transferring data using URL syntax. For further information about
cURL, refer to
http://curl.haxx.se/ .
When 10 successive cURL transactions to an IP address are successful, the Brocade Virtual ADX can
initiate subsequent cURL sessions to the same IP address after waiting approximately two minutes.
However, the Brocade Virtual ADX can initiate cURL sessions for other IP addresses immediately.
NOTE
The Brocade Virtual ADX supports a maximum of 10 cURL sessions simultaneously.
You can run cURL from the Brocade Virtual ADX console. For example:
