Configuring IP addresses
Syntax: interface ve <num>
Deleting an IP address
To delete an IP address, enter a command similar to the following:
FastIron(config-if-e1000-1)# no ip address 1.1.2.1
This command deletes IP address 1.1.2.1. You do not need to enter the subnet mask.
To delete all IP addresses from an interface, enter the following command:
FastIron(config-if-e1000-1)# no ip address *
Syntax: no ip address <ip-addr> | *

Connecting network devices

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

Connectors

For port pinouts, see the section "Pinouts and signaling" on page 63.

Cable specifications

Refer to "Cable specifications" on page 64 for cable lengths and types.

Connecting to Ethernet or fast Ethernet hubs

For copper connections to Ethernet hubs, a 10/100BaseTX or 1000BaseT device, or another
Brocade device, a crossover cable is required (Figure 32 and Figure 33). If the hub is equipped with
an uplink port, it will require 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. Therefore, a crossover cable may not be required; a
straight-through cable may work as well. For more information about this feature, see the FastIron
Configuration Guide.
