6Configuring IP addressesSyntax: [no] ip address /Assigning IP addresses to an interface, virtual interface,or loopback interfaceYou must assign an IP address to each interface and virtual interface over which user packets arerouted. You can also assign an IP address to a loopback interface, which is generally used fortesting and diagnostic purposes.You must use the serial connection to assign the first IP address. For subsequent addresses, youcan also use the CLI through Telnet or the Web management interface. Use IronView NetworkManager to assign IP addresses to virtual routing interfaces only.By default, you can configure up to 24 IP addresses on each interface, virtual interface, andloopback interface.For example, to assign the IP address 192.22.3.44 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0 to Ethernetinterface 1/1, do the following.1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable.Brocade> enable2. Enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level prompt, then press Enter. Thiscommand erases the factory test configuration if it is still present.Brocade# erase startup-configAfter you enter this command, you will need to restart the system.CAUTIONUse the erase startup-config command only for new systems. If you enter this command on asystem you have already configured, the command erases the configuration. If you accidentallyerase the configuration on a configured system, enter the write memory command to save therunning configuration to the startup-config file.3. Access the configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command.Brocade# configure terminalBrocade(config)#4. Configure the IP address and subnet mask for Ethernet interface 1/1 by entering the followingcommands.Brocade(config)# interface ethernet 1/1Brocade(config-if-e10000-1/1)# ip address 192.22.3.44 255.255.255.0Syntax: enable []Syntax: configure terminalSyntax: [no] ip address [secondary]orSyntax: [no] ip address / [secondary]Use the secondary parameter if you have already configured an IP address within the samesub-net on the interface.316 Brocade MLX Series and Brocade NetIron XMR Hardware Installation Guide53-1002373-02
