The following sub-net masks are supported by the devices:<br />

IP address configuration 2<br />

• To enter a classical network mask, enter the mask in IP address format. For example, enter<br />

“209.157.22.99 255.255.255.0” for an IP address with a Class-C sub-net mask.<br />

• To enter a prefix number for a network mask, enter a forward slash (/) <strong>and</strong> the number of bits<br />

in the mask immediately after the IP address. For example, enter “209.157.22.99/24” for an<br />

IP address that has a network mask with 24 significant (“mask”) bits.<br />

Assigning an IP address to a management interface<br />

Instead of assigning a global IP address to the <strong>Brocade</strong> device for system management purposes,<br />

you now assign an IP address to the management interface. The IP address is assigned to the<br />

active management module port. If the active management module becomes unavailable <strong>and</strong> the<br />

redundant module becomes the active module, the IP address is assigned to the new active<br />

management module port.<br />

For example, to assign the IP address 10.0.1.1 to the management interface, do the following.<br />

1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable.<br />

<strong>Brocade</strong>> enable<br />

2. Enter the following comm<strong>and</strong> at the Privileged EXEC level prompt (for example, <strong>Brocade</strong>#), then<br />

press Enter. This comm<strong>and</strong> erases the factory test configuration if still present.<br />

<strong>Brocade</strong># erase startup-config<br />

CAUTION<br />

Use the erase startup-config comm<strong>and</strong> only for new systems. If you enter this comm<strong>and</strong> on a<br />

system you have already configured, the comm<strong>and</strong> erases the configuration. If you accidentally<br />

erase the configuration on a configured system, enter the write memory comm<strong>and</strong> to save the<br />

running configuration to the startup-config file.<br />

3. Access the configuration level of the CLI by entering the following comm<strong>and</strong>.<br />

<strong>Brocade</strong># configure terminal Privileged EXEC Level<br />

<strong>Brocade</strong>(config)# Global CONFIG Level<br />

4. Configure the IP address <strong>and</strong> mask for the management interface by entering the following<br />

comm<strong>and</strong>s.<br />

<strong>Brocade</strong>(config)# interface management 1<br />

<strong>Brocade</strong>(config-if-mgmt-1)# ip address 10.0.1.1 255.255.255.0<br />

Syntax: enable []<br />

Syntax: configure terminal<br />

Syntax: interface management 1<br />

Syntax: [no] ip address <br />

or<br />

Syntax: [no] ip address /<br />
