Description

Use this command to change the IPv4 or IPv6 address of a chassis from the default. The default is
the initial address of the switch chassis.

Usage Guidelines

This is the address that is used to access devices through their RBridge ID. Use this command to
change the IP address to facilitate management, for example, if a switch is moved to a different
subnet. The IP address of the management platform should be in the same subnet as the devices
it manages.

This command applies only to chassis switches, for example, the Brocade VDX 8770.

Use the no form of this command to revert to the default address.

Examples

IPv4:

switch(config)# rbridge-id 4

switch(config)# rbridge-id 4

switch(config-rbridge-id-4)# chassis virtual-ipv6 2001:db8:8086:6502/64
