Configuring the IP addresses
The Brocade DCX 8510-8 requires three IP addresses, which are configured using the ipAddrSet
command. IP addresses are required for both CP blades (CP0 and CP1) and for the chassis
management IP (shown as SWITCH under the ipAddrShow command) in the Brocade DCX 8510-8.
NOTE
The default IP addresses and host names for the Brocade DCX 8510-8 are:
• 10.77.77.75 / CP0 (the CP blade in slot 6 at the time of configuration)
• 10.77.77.74 / CP1 (the CP blade in slot 7 at the time of configuration)
NOTE
Resetting an IP address while the Brocade DCX 8510-8 has active IP traffic or has management and
monitoring tools running, such as DCFM, Fabric Watch, and SNMP, can cause traffic to be interrupted
or stopped.
Complete the following steps to set the IP addresses for the Brocade DCX 8510-8.
1. Log in to the active CP as admin using the serial cable connection.
2. Set up the Brocade DCX 8510-8 IP address by entering the ipaddrset -chassis command:

valid on this chassis.
NOTE
The addresses 10.0.0.0 through 10.0.0.255 are reserved and used internally by the Brocade DCX
8510-8. External IPs must not use these addresses.
