Connecting Network Devices; Connectors And Cable Specifications; Connecting To Ethernet Or Fast Ethernet Hubs - Brocade Communications Systems FESX624HF Installation Manual

NOTE
The above procedure shows how to configure an IPv6 address with a manually configured interface ID as the system-wide
address for the switch. You could also configure an IPv6 address with an automatically computed EUI-64 interface ID as the
system-wide address for the switch. A link-local IPv6 address is also supported. For details, refer to the <Italic>FastIron
Configuration Guide.
Syntax: enable [<password>]
Syntax: configure terminal
Syntax: [no] ipv6 address <ipv6-prefix>/<prefix-length>
You must specify the <ipv6-prefix> parameter in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons as documented in RFC 2373.
You must specify the <prefix-length> parameter in decimal value. A slash mark (/) must follow the <ipv6-prefix> parameter and precede
the <prefix-length> parameter.192.22.3.44 255.255.255.0

Connecting network devices

Brocade devices support connections to other vendors routers, switches, and hubs, as well other Brocade devices.

Connectors and cable specifications

Refer to "Cable specifications"
For port pinouts, refer to the section

Connecting to ethernet or fast ethernet hubs

For copper connections to Ethernet hubs, a 10/100BaseTX or 1000BaseT switch, or another Brocade device, a crossover cable is
required (Figure 1 and Figure
cable.
NOTE
The 802.3ab standard (automatic MDI or MDIX detection) calls for automatic negotiation of the connection between two
1000Base-T ports. Therefore, a crossover cable may not be required; a straight-through cable may work as well. For more
information about this feature, refer to the <Italic>FastIron Configuration Guide (FastIron X Series Devices).
