You do not need to assign a default gateway address for single subnet networks.
Syntax: enable [<password>]

Syntax: [no] ip address <ip-addr> <ip-mask>
or
Syntax: [no] ip address <ip-addr>/<mask-bits>
Syntax: ip default-gateway <ip-addr>

IPv6 devices

Brocade IPv6 devices support the 128-bit addressing format, composed of 8 fields of 16-bit hexadecimal values separated by colons (:).
For example, 2001:0000:0000:0200:002D:D0FF:FE48:4672 is an IPv6 address, which can also be expressed as
2001:0:0:200:2D:D0FF:FE48:4672 after omitting the leading zeros.
IPv6 devices running layer 3 software
Before attaching equipment to a Brocade router, you must assign an interface IP address to the subnet on which the router will be located.
You must use the serial connection to assign the first IP address. For subsequent addresses, you also can use the CLI through Telnet or
the Web Management Interface.
By default, you can configure up to 24 IP interfaces on each port, virtual interface, and loopback interface. You can increase this amount
to up to 64 IP subnet addresses per port by increasing the size of the subnet-per-interface table. Refer to the <Italic>FastIron
Configuration Guide for more information.
The following procedure shows how to add an IPv6 address and mask to a router port.
1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable.
Brocade> enable
2. Enter the following command at the CLI Privileged EXEC level prompt, then press Enter. This command erases the factory test
configuration if still present.
Brocade # erase startup-config
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.
3. Access the configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command.
Privileged EXEC Level.
Brocade# configure terminal
Global CONFIG Level.
Brocade(config)#
