Assigning an IP address to an Ethernet port
Enter the following commands to assign an IP address to port 1/1/1.
device(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/1
device(config-if-1/1/1)# ip address 10.45.6.1 255.255.255.0
You also can enter the IP address and mask in CIDR format, as follows:
device(config-if-1/1/1)# ip address 10.45.6.1/24
Syntax: [no] ip address [ ip-addr | ip-mask ]
or
Syntax: [no] ip address [ ip-addr/mask-bits ]
Assigning an IP address to a loopback interface
Loopback interfaces are always up, regardless of the states of physical interfaces. They can add stability to the network because they are
not subject to route flap problems that can occur due to unstable links between a Layer 3 device and other devices. You can configure up
to four loopback interfaces on a Layer 3 device.
You can add up to 24 IP addresses to each loopback interface.
NOTE
If you configure the device to use a loopback interface to communicate with a BGP4 neighbor, you must also configure a
loopback interface on the neighbor and configure the neighbor to use that loopback interface to communicate with the Brocade
device.
To add a loopback interface, enter commands such as those shown in the following example:
device(config)# exit
device(config)# interface loopback 1
device(config-lbif-1)# ip address 10.0.0.1/24
Syntax: interface loopback num
The num parameter specifies the virtual interface number. You can specify from 1 through the maximum number of virtual interfaces
supported on the device. To display the maximum number of virtual interfaces supported on the device, enter the show default values
command.
Assigning an IP address to a virtual routing interface
A virtual interface is a logical port associated with a Layer 3 Virtual LAN (VLAN) configured on a Layer 3 device. You can configure
routing parameters on the virtual interface to enable the Layer 3 device to route protocol traffic from one Layer 3 VLAN to the other,
without using an external router.
NOTE
The device uses the lowest MAC address on the device (the MAC address of port 1 or 1/1/1) as the MAC address for all ports
within all virtual interfaces you configure on the device.
Enter commands similar to the following to add a virtual interface to a VLAN and configure an IP address on the interface.
device(config)# vlan 2 name IP-Subnet_10.1.2.1/24
device(config-vlan-2)# untag 1/1/1 to 1/1/4
device(config-vlan-2)# router-interface ve1
device(config-vlan-2)# interface ve1
device(config-vif-1)# ip address 10.1.2.1/24
