Assigning an IP address to a management interface

Instead of assigning a global IP address to the device for system management purposes, you now
assign an IP address to the management interface. The IP address is assigned to the active
management module port. If the active management module becomes unavailable and the
redundant module becomes the active module, the IP address is assigned to the new active
management module port.
For example, to assign the IP address 10.0.1.1 to the management interface, do the following.
1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable.
2. Enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level prompt (for example, Brocade
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
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.
4. Configure the IP address and mask for the management interface by entering the following
Syntax: enable [password]
Syntax: configure terminal
Syntax: interface management 1
Syntax: [no] ip address ip-addr ip-mask
or
Syntax: [no] ip address ip-addr/mask-bits

To enter a classical network mask, enter the mask in IP address format. For example, enter
"209.157.22.99 255.255.255.0" for an IP address with a Class-C sub-net mask.
To enter a prefix number for a network mask, enter a forward slash (/) and the number of bits
in the mask immediately after the IP address. For example, enter "209.157.22.99/24" for an
IP address that has a network mask with 24 significant ("mask") bits.
