1.

At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable.

device> enable

2.

Enter the following command at the CLI Privileged EXEC level prompt, and 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.

3.

Access the global configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command.

device# configure terminal

Brocade(config)#

4.

Configure the IP addresses and mask addresses for the interfaces on the router.

device(config)# interface ethernet 2

device(config)# ip address 10.22.3.44 255.255.255.0

NOTE
You can use the ip address ip-addr/mask-bits command if you know the subnet mask length. In
the example in step 4, you could enter IP address 10.22.3.44/24.

Syntax: [no] ip address { ip-addr ip-mask [ secondary ] | ip-addr/mask-bits [ secondary ] }

Use the secondary parameter if you have already configured an IP address within the same
subnet on the interface.

Configuring IP parameters for devices running Layer 3 software

This section describes how to configure IP parameters for devices running Layer 3 software.

Configuring IP addresses

You can configure an IP address on the following types of Layer 3 interfaces:

Ethernet port

Virtual routing interface (also called a Virtual Ethernet or "VE")

Loopback interface

By default, you can have up to 24 IP addresses on each interface, but you can increase this number to
128 IP addresses.

NOTE
Once you configure a virtual routing interface on a VLAN, you cannot configure Layer 3 interface
parameters on individual ports in the VLAN. Instead, you must configure the parameters on the virtual
routing interface itself.
