Deleting an IP address
The first two commands in this example create a Layer 3 protocol-based VLAN named "IP-
Subnet_10.1.2.1/24" and add a range of untagged ports to the VLAN. The router-interface command
creates virtual interface 1 as the routing interface for the VLAN. The last two commands change to the
interface configuration level for the virtual interface and assign an IP address to the interface.
Syntax: router-interface ve num
Syntax: interface ve num
Deleting an IP address
Enter a command similar to the following to delete an IP address.
Brocade(config-if-1/1/1)# no ip address 10.1.2.1
This command deletes IP address 10.1.2.1. You do not need to enter the subnet mask.
To delete all IP addresses from an interface, enter the following command.
Brocade(config-if-1/1/1)# no ip address *
Syntax: [no] ip address { ip-addr | * }

Connecting network devices

Brocade devices support connections to other vendors' routers, switches, and hubs, as well other
Brocade devices.

Connectors

For port pinouts, refer to

Cable specifications

Connecting to Ethernet or Fast Ethernet hubs

For copper connections to Ethernet hubs, a 10/100Base-TX or 1000Base-T switch, or another
Brocade device, a crossover cable is required (see the figures below). If the hub is equipped with an
uplink port, it requires a straight-through cable instead of a crossover cable.
NOTE
The 802.3ab standard (automatic MDI or MDIX detection) calls for automatic negotiation of the
connection between two 1000Base-T ports. In this case, a straight-through cable may work just as well
