44. Automatic MDI or MDIX detection All 10/100 and Gbps Ethernet copper ports on the Brocade FastIron devices support automatic Media Dependent Interface (MDI) and Media Dependent Interface Crossover (MDIX) detection. This feature is enabled on all 10/100 and Gbps copper ports by default. For each port, you can disable auto MDI or MDIX, designate the port as an MDI port, or designate the port as an MDIX port.
Configuring IP addresses Connecting a network device to a fiber port For direct attachment from the Brocade device to a Gbps NIC, device, or router, fiber cabling with an LC connector is required. To connect the Brocade device to another network device using a fiber port, you must do the following: •...

1. Remove the protective covering from the fiber optic port connectors and store the covering for future use. 2. Before cabling a fiber optic module, Brocade strongly recommends cleaning the cable connectors and the port connectors. Refer to “Cleaning the fiber optic connectors”...
When not using a fiber optic connector, make sure to keep the protective covering on. Digital optical monitoring You can configure your Brocade device to monitor optical transceivers in the system, either globally or by specified port. When this feature is enabled, the system monitors the temperature and signal power levels for the optical transceivers in the specified ports.
Verify that all system components have been properly installed. If one or more components appear to be malfunctioning (such as the power cable or network cabling), test them in an alternate environment where you are sure that all the other components are functioning properly. Brocade FastIron LS and FastIron LS-STK Hardware Installation Guide 53-1002187-01...
Then verify that you entered the correct IP address. Also, be sure the port through which you are connecting to the device has not been disabled.
