Configuring The Ip Addresses - Brocade Communications Systems DCX 8510-8 Hardware Installation Manual

Configuring the IP addresses

The device 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 device.
NOTE
The default IP addresses and host names for the device 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 7at the time of configuration)
NOTE
Resetting an IP address while the device 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 device.
1. Log in to the active CP as admin using the serial cable connection.
2. Set up the device IP address by entering the ipaddrset -chassis command:
swDir:admin> ipAddrSet -chassis
Enter the information at the prompts. Specify the -chassis IP address. The -sw 0 IP address is not valid on this chassis.
NOTE
The addresses 10.0.0.0 through 10.0.0.255 are reserved and used internally by the device. External IPs must not use
these addresses.
3. Set up the CP0 IP address by entering the ipaddrset -cp 0 command:
swDir:admin> ipAddrSet -cp 0
Enter the information at the prompts.
