The following example shows the management interfaces on a Brocade VDX 8770-4. IPv6
autoconfiguration is enabled for the entire chassis, and, as a result, a stateless IPv6 address is
assigned to both management interfaces.
switch# show interface management
interface Management 110/1
ip address 10.20.238.108/21
ip route 0.0.0.0/0 10.24.80.1

Configuring the management interface speed
By default, the speed of the interface is set to autoconfiguration, which means the interface speed is
optimized dynamically depending on load and other factors. You can override the default with a fixed
speed value of 10 Mbps full duplex or 100 Mbps full duplex.
1. In privileged EXEC mode, issue the configure terminal command to enter global configuration
mode.
switch# configure terminal
Entering configuration mode terminal
2. Enter the interface management command followed by rbridge-id/0 .
This command places you in the management interface subconfiguration mode.
switch(config)# interface management 1/0
switch(config-Management-1/0)#
3. Enter the speed command with the selected speed parameter. The valid values are 10, 100, and
auto.
switch(config-Management-1/0)# speed auto
4. Enter the do show interface management command followed by rbridge-id/0 to display the new
settings.
switch(config-Management-1/0)# do show interface management 1/0
interface Management 1/0
ip address 10.24.81.65/20
ip route 0.0.0.0/0 10.24.80.1
ipv6 ipv6-address [ ]
ipv6 ipv6-gateways [fe80::21b:edff:fe0f:bc00 fe80::21b:edff:fe0c:c200]
line-speed actual "1000baseT, Duplex: Full"
line-speed configured Auto
5. Save the configuration changes by using the copy running-config startup-config command.
switch(config-Management-1/0)# do copy running-config startup-config
Configuring a switch banner
A banner is a text message that displays on the switch console. It can contain information about the
switch that an administrator may want users to know when accessing the switch.
The banner can be up to 2048 characters long. To create a multi-line banner, enter the banner login
command followed by the Esc-m keys. Enter Ctrl-D to terminate the input.
If you are in logical chassis cluster mode, the configuration is applied to all nodes in the cluster.
