Configuring IP parameters for devices running Layer 3 software
This section describes how to configure IP parameters for devices running Layer 3 software.
Configuring IP addresses
You can configure an IP address on the following types of Layer 3 interfaces:
•
•
•
By default, you can have up to 24 IP addresses on each interface, but you can increase this number to
128 IP addresses.
NOTE
Once you configure a virtual routing interface on a VLAN, you cannot configure Layer 3 interface
parameters on individual ports in the VLAN. Instead, you must configure the parameters on the virtual
routing interface itself.

At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable.
device> enable
Enter the following command at the CLI Privileged EXEC level prompt, and then press Enter .
This command erases the factory test configuration if still present.
device# erase startup-config
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 do erase the configuration on a configured system, enter the write memory
command to save the running configuration to the startup-config file.
Access the global configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command.
device# configure terminal
Brocade(config)#
Configure the IP addresses and mask addresses for the interfaces on the router.
device(config)# interface ethernet 2
device(config)# ip address 10.22.3.44 255.255.255.0
NOTE
You can use the ip address ip-addr/mask-bits command if you know the subnet mask length. In
the example in step 4, you could enter IP address 10.22.3.44/24.
Syntax: [no] ip address { ip-addr ip-mask [ secondary ] | ip-addr/mask-bits [ secondary ] }
Use the secondary parameter if you have already configured an IP address within the same
subnet on the interface.
