Syntax: [no] ip address ip-addr/mask-bits

Assigning an IP address to an interface, virtual interface, or loopback

As you have done with other devices, you must assign an IP address to each interface and virtual

interface over which user packets are routed. You can also assign an IP address to a loopback

interface, which is generally used for testing and diagnostic purposes.

You must use the serial connection to assign the first IP address. For subsequent addresses, you also

can use the CLI through Telnet. You can use Brocade Network Advisor to assign IP addresses to

virtual routing interfaces only.

By default, you can configure up to 24 IP interfaces on each interface, virtual interface, and loopback

interface.

For example, to assign the IP address 192.22.3.44 and sub-net mask 255.255.255.0 to Ethernet

interface 1/1, do the following.

1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable.

device> enable

2. Enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level prompt, then press Enter. This command

erases the factory test configuration if still present.

device# erase startup-config

CAUTION

Use the erase startup-config command only for new systems. If you enter this command on

a system you have already configured, the command erases the configuration. If you

accidentally do erase the configuration on a configured system, enter the write memory

command to save the running configuration to the startup-config file.

3. Access the configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command.

device# configure terminal

device(config)#

4. Configure the IP address and sub-net mask for Ethernet interface 1/1 by entering the following

commands.

device(config)# interface ethernet 1/1

device(config-if-e10000-1/1)# ip address 192.22.3.44 255.255.255.0

Syntax: enable [ password ]

Syntax: configure terminal

Syntax: [no] ip address ip-addrip-mask [ secondary ]

Syntax: [no] ip address ip-addr/mask-bits [ secondary ]

Use the secondary parameter if you have already configured an IP address within the same sub-net

on the interface.
