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
If you choose not to use DHCP or to specify an IP address for your switch Ethernet interface, you
can do so by entering “none” or “0.0.0.0” in the Ethernet IP address field.
On an application blade, configure the two external Ethernet interfaces to two different subnets.
If two subnets are not present, configure one of the interfaces and leave the other unconfigured.
Otherwise, the following message displays and blade status may go into a faulty state after a
reboot.
Neighbor table overflow.
