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.

NOTE
You do not need to assign a default gateway address for single subnet networks.

Devices running Layer 3 software

Before attaching equipment to a Brocade ICX 6650, you must assign an interface IP address to the
subnet on which the router connected to the switch will be located. You must use the serial connection
to assign the first IP address. For subsequent addresses, you also can use the CLI through Telnet or
the Web management interface.

By default, you can configure up to 24 IP addresses on each port, virtual interface, and loopback
interface. You can increase this amount to up to 64 IP subnet addresses per port by increasing the size
of the subnet-per-interface table.

The following procedure shows how to add an IP address and mask to a router port.
