Brocade Network OS Administrator’s Guide v4.1.1 - Manual (Page 554)

NOTE
You must configure a primary IP address only. Secondary IP addresses are not supported.
5. Enter the ip mtu command to set the interface IP Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) in bytes.
6. Enter the arp-ageing-timeout command to configure the interface timeout parameter (in minutes)
for the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP).
The default timeout value is 4 hours.
7. Clear the ARP cache by using the do clear-arp-cache command with the no-refresh option to
delete unused ARP entries.
8. Configure a proxy ARP per interface by using the ip proxy-arp command.
9. Display the configuration by using the show ip interface command.
switch# configure terminal
Entering configuration mode terminal
switch(config)# interface TenGigabitEthernet 1/0/1
switch(conf-if-te-10/1)# no shutdown
switch(conf-if-te-1/0/1)# ip address 10.37.19.170/24
switch(conf-if-te-1/0/1)# ip mtu 1200
switch(conf-if-te-1/0/1)# arp-ageing-timeout 300
switch(conf-if-te-1/0/1)# do clear-arp-cache no-refresh
switch(conf-if-te-1/0/1)# ip proxy-arp
switch(conf-if-te-1/0/1)# exit
switch# show ip interface TenGigabitEthernet 1/0/1

Primary Internet Address is 10.37.19.170/24 broadcast is 10.37.19.255
IP MTU is 1200

Configuring an in-band management interface using OSPF
The figure below shows the configuration of an in-band management interface connected to a VCS
fabric through OSPF.
• In this scenario, a Brocade VDX 6720 (RB1 local), is connected to a Brocade VDX 8770 switch
(RB2) in a VCS fabric through fabric ports.
• Another Brocade VDX 6720 switch (C1) is connected to a VCS fabric member (RB1) through the
front panel port in RB1.
• OSPF is configured between RB1 and RB2 for Layer 3 forwarding, and to export and exchange
routes.
• A management station (MS) is connected to C1 through a Telnet or SSH session.
• In a standalone configuration (
Configuring an in-band management interface in standalone mode on
page 553) C1 and RB1 are in standalone mode. The management station connects to RB1 through
C1 using physical front-panel port connections.
• In VCS mode ( Configuring a management connection in VCS fabric cluster mode on page 556),
the management station connects to RB2 through C1 using OSPF and dynamic route distribution in
a VCS fabric.
