Configuring IP addresses

This command deletes IP address 1.1.2.1. You do not need to enter the subnet mask.
To delete all IP addresses from an interface, enter the following command.

Connecting network devices
Brocade devices support connections to other vendors’ routers, switches, and hubs, as well other
Brocade devices.
Connectors
Refer to “Cable length summary table” on page 51.
For port pinouts, refer to the section “Pinouts and signalling” on page 49.
Cable specifications
Refer to “Cable specifications” on page 50 for cable lengths and types.
Connecting to Ethernet or Fast Ethernet Hubs
For copper connections to Ethernet hubs, a 10/100BaseTX or 1000BaseT switch, or another
Brocade device, a crossover cable is required (
Figure 26 and Figure 27 ). If the hub is equipped with
an uplink port, it will require a straight-through cable instead of a crossover cable.
NOTE
The 802.3ab standard (automatic MDI or MDIX detection) calls for automatic negotiation of the
connection between two 1000Base-T ports. Therefore, a crossover cable may not be required; a
straight-through cable may work as well. For more information about this feature, refer to the
FastIron Configuration Guide.
