Configuring the device IP address
You can configure this device with a static IP address, or you can use a Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) server to set the device IP address. DHCP is enabled by default. Devices support both
IPv4 and IPv6 format addresses.
Using DHCP to set the IP address
When using DHCP, the Brocade devices obtain the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway
address from the DHCP server. The DHCP client can only connect to a DHCP server that is on the
same subnet as the device. If your DHCP server is not on the same subnet as the Brocade device, use
a static IP address.
To set an IPv4 IP address using DHCP, complete the following steps.
1. Log in to the device using the admin account.
2. Configure the management interface with the following command:
device(config)# interface Management 1/0
3. Configure the IP address using the following command:
device(config-Management-1/0)# ip address dhcp
Setting a static IP address
Complete the following steps to set a static IP address.
1. Log in to the device using the default password (the default password is password).
2. Use the ip address command to set the Ethernet IP address.
If you are going to use an IPv4 IP address, enter the IP address in dotted decimal notation. You
should also disable DHCP and enter a gateway address as well.
device(config)# interface Management 1/0
device(config-Management-1/0)# no ip address dhcp
device(config-Management-1/0)# ip address 10.24.85.81/20
To set up a default gateway, add an IP route in RBridge mode.
device(config-rbridge-id-10)# vrf mgmt-vrf
device (config-vrf-mgmt-vrf)# address-family ipv4 unicast
device (vrf-ipv4-unicast)# ip route 0.0.0.0/0 10.24.80.1
device (vrf-ipv4-unicast)# exit
device (config-vrf-mgmt-vrf)# exit
device#(config)# copy running-config startup-config
