Ipaddrset - Brocade Communications Systems Brocade 8/12c Command Reference Manual

ipAddrSet

Sets the Ethernet and FC IP addresses.

[-ipv6 ] [--add x:x:x:x:x:x:x/n | --delete]
ipaddrset [-slot slot] [-eth0 | -eth1] [--add x.x.x.x/n | --delete]
ipaddrset [-slot slot] -gate [--add x.x.x.x | --delete]
ipaddrset -ls FID --add IPv4_address/prefix
ipaddrset -ls FID --delete
ipaddrset -ipv6 [-auto | -noauto]
ipaddrset [-cp cp_number | -chassis]
DESCRIPTION
Use this command to configure the IP addresses on a switch, a control processor (CP), a blade
processor (BP), or a standalone application processor (AP). On platforms that support Logical Fabrics,
this command configures the IPv4 Fibre Channel addresses for the logical fabric IPFC network interface.
The IPFC (IP over Fibre Channel) protocol allows switches to send IP traffic over Fibre Channel rather
than through Ethernet connections.
This command supports an interactive legacy mode and a command line interface. Use the command
line interface to configure IPv6 addresses, to enable or disable stateless IPv6 autoconfiguration, to
assign a Fibre Channel IPv4 address and prefix to a logical switch IPFC network interface, and to
configure a service port on the CP blade of a Brocade DCX. When run interactively in legacy mode, this
command sets the Ethernet IPv4 address, subnet mask, and Gateway on a switch or a chassis.
Command usage depends on the type of IP address and on the platform on which the command is run.
Some of the platform- and IP address-specific features of the command are outlined below. For complete
details, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide.

The command accepts the -ipv6 command line syntax with the --add or --delete option on all
platforms that support IPv6 addresses. The --add option configures a single static IPv6 address and
prefix for the specified managed entity (chassis, CP, or AP). The --delete option deletes a static IPv6
address and prefix for the specified managed entity. On modular platforms, the command can be
executed only on the active CP.
-
When using the command line syntax to add or delete IPv6 addresses, the managed entity is
identified only on modular platforms. To set the CP IPv6 address, use the -cpoption; to set the
IP address for the entire chassis, use the -chassis option.
-
When using the command line syntax to add or delete IPv6 addresses on standalone platforms,
the implied entity is the single managed entity supported by the platform and must be left
unspecified.
-
Additionally, the -eth0, -eth1, and -gate command line options are available with the --add or
--delete option on platforms with blade processors to set the BP Ethernet or Gateway
addresses. On a chassis with a blade processor the values for the blade in can be set from the
command line using the -slot option. The -slot option is not accepted in standalone application
processors with a hidden blade, such as the AP7600.
