If an IP address has not been assigned to the network interface (Ethernet), you must connect to the
Fabric OS CLI using a console session on the serial port. For more information, see
Console sessions
using the serial port on page 38. Otherwise, connect using SSH.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Enter the ipAddrShow command.

If the Ethernet IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address are displayed, then the network
interface is configured. Verify the information on your switch is correct. If DHCP is enabled, the
network interface information was acquired from the DHCP server.
NOTE
You can use either IPv4 or IPv6 with a classless inter-domain routing (CIDR) block notation (also
known as a network prefix length ) to set up your IP addresses.
Static Ethernet addresses
Use static Ethernet network interface addresses on Brocade DCX and DCX-4S Backbones, and in
environments where DHCP service is not available. To use static addresses for the Ethernet interface,
you must first disable DHCP. You can enter static Ethernet information and disable DHCP at the same
time. For more information, refer to
DHCP activation on page 50.
