This section describes how to configure an IP address on a virtual interface.
NOTE
The Brocade FGS device uses the lowest MAC address on the device (the MAC address of port 1 or 1/1) as the MAC address
for all ports within all virtual interfaces you configure on the device.
To add a virtual interface to a VLAN and configure an IP address on the interface, enter commands such as the following:
FastIron
(config)# vlan 2 name IP-Subnet_1.1.2.0/24
FastIron
(config-vlan-2)# untag e1 to 4
FastIron
(config-vlan-2)# router-interface ve1
FastIron
(config-vlan-2)# interface ve1
FastIron
(config-vif-1)# ip address 1.1.2.1/24
The first two commands in this example create a Layer 3 protocol-based VLAN name "IP-Subnet_1.1.2.0/24" and add a range of
untagged ports to the VLAN. The router-interface command creates virtual interface 1 as the routing interface for the VLAN. The last
two commands change to the interface configuration level for the virtual interface and assign an IP address to the interface.
Syntax: router-interface ve <num>
Syntax: interface ve <num>
Deleting an IP address
To delete an IP address, enter a command such as the following:
FastIron(config-if-e1000-1)# no ip address 1.1.2.1
This command deletes IP address 1.1.2.1. You do not need to enter the subnet mask.
To delete all IP addresses from an interface, enter the following command:
FastIron(config-if-e1000-1)# no ip address *
Syntax: no ip address <ip-addr> | *
Devices running layer 2 software
To configure an IP Address on a device running Layer 2 software:
1.
At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable.
> enable
FastIron
2.
Enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level prompt (for example, FastIron Switch#), then press Enter. This
command erases the factory test configuration if still present:
# erase startup-config
FastIron
Use the erase startup-config command only for new systems. If you enter this command on a system you
have already configured, the command erases the configuration. If you accidentally do erase the
configuration on a configured system, enter the write memory command to save the running configuration
to the startup-config file.
