Assigning an IP address to a port
1
The text parameter is an alphanumeric string. The name can have up to 255 characters on a
Brocade device and can include blanks. You do not need to use quotation marks around the string,
even when it contains blanks.
Assigning an IP address to a port
To assign an IP address to an interface, enter the following commands.
Brocade(config)# interface e 1/8
Brocade(config)# ip address 10.45.6.110 255.255.255.0
Syntax: [no] ip address ip-addr ip-mask
or
Syntax: [no] ip address ip-addr/mask-bits
NOTE
You also can enter the IP address and mask in CIDR format, as follows.
Brocade
(config)# ip address 10.45.6.1/24
Modifying port speed
Each of the 10/100/1000BaseTX ports is designed to auto-sense and auto-negotiate the speed
and mode of the connected device. If the attached device does not support this operation, you can
manually enter the port speed to operate at either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. The default value is 10
or 100 half- or full-duplex.
NOTE
Modifying the port speed of a port that has a pre-configured rate limit policy may result in the
inability to remove the port's rate limit policy.
To change the port speed of interface 1/8 from the default of 10/100 auto-sense to 10 Mbps
operating at full-duplex, first disable the port. Then, enter the following.
Brocade(config)# interface e 1/8
Brocade(config-if-e10000-1/8)# speed-duplex 10-full
Syntax: [no] speed-duplex value
The value can be one of the following:
• 10-full
• 10-half
• 100-full
• 100-half
• 1000-full
• 1000-half
• auto
The default is auto.
