Deleting an Inband Management route
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the portCfg inbandmgmt command to delete a route to the Management Station.
switch:admin> portcfg inbandmgmt ge0 routedel 192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0
Viewing Inband Management IP addresses and routes
The portShow inbandmgmt command displays the addresses that are currently configured for that
GE port number and a status of Inband Management (Enabled/Disabled). To display the routing
table, use the existing portShow iproute command. There is a status flag for the IP routes to signify
if a route is used for the management interfaces. After the route definition is printed, a
Management option appears at the end of the line. This indicates that the route is using one of the
internal interfaces.
The portCfgShow inbandmgmt command displays the addresses that are currently configured for
that GE port number. The portCfgShow command also displays any Inband Management routes
configured in the Iproute Configuration section.
To provide connection between the CP and the management station, IP routes must be added to all
Ethernet devices between the two. To make sure that only traffic destined for the management
interface on the CP is sent to the Brocade 7500 Extension Switches, it is recommended you use
host-specific routes for the Brocade 7500 management destination routes. This ensures that the
Brocade 7500 Extension Switch is not acting as a full IP router between the various subnets. To
ensure proper connectivity, routes must be added to each hop along the desired path.
Viewing Inband Management IP routes
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the portShow iproute command specifying the GE port you want to view.
The portShow command has additional information displayed in the iproute display option. The
routes display the Management designation if they are routes associated with the CP-to-GE
connectivity as shown below:

In this example, the interface on the GE port processor is set up with an address of
192.168.255.2/24 and the address on inbd0 on the CP is set up with the address
192.168.255.1/24. There is an “Interface Management” route on the GE port processor for
192.168.255.0/24 with a gateway 192.168.255.2 and an “Interface Management” route on the
