CAUTION
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

Assigning an IP address to an interface, virtual Interface,
or loopback
As you have done with other Brocade devices, you must assign an IP address to each interface and
virtual interface over which user packets are routed. You can also assign an IP address to a
loopback interface, which is generally used for testing and diagnostic purposes.
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. You can use IronView
Network Manager Network Manager to assign IP addresses to virtual routing interfaces only.
By default, you can configure up to 24 IP interfaces on each interface, virtual interface, and
loopback interface.
