IP address configuration
Brocade# configure terminal
Brocade(config)#
3. Enter the following command to set the super-user password.
Brocade(config)# enable super-user-password
NOTE
You must set the super-user password before you can set other types of passwords.
4. Enter the following commands to set the port configuration and read-only passwords.
Brocade(config)# enable port-config-password
Brocade(config)# enable read-only-password
NOTE
If you forget your super-user password, see the Release Notes.
Syntax: enable super-user-password | read-only-password | port-config-password
Passwords can be up to 48 characters long.
IP address configuration
The Brocade devices implement separate data and control planes. This architecture affects how
you assign IP addresses. Table 7 outlines the interfaces to which you can assign IP addresses.
In this table, “in band” refers to an interface over which user packets are routed, while “out of
band” refers to an interface over which control packets related to system management are
forwarded.
TABLE 7 Assigning IP addresses
Interface Associated physical port Out of band/
In band
Management interface Ethernet 10/100/1000 port on active
management module
Any interface over which user packets are
routed
Any virtual interface over which user
packets are routed
This section describes the following:
• Support of sub-net masks
• How to assign an IP address to a management interface
• How to assign an IP address to an interface or virtual interface over which user packets are
routed
Support of sub-net masks
Out of band
Any interface module port In band
Any interface port In band
Loopback interface – In band
The Brocade devices support both classical IP network masks (Class A, B, and C sub-net masks,
and so on) and Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR) network prefix masks.
