    DHCP server. The DHCP client can only connect to a DHCP server that is on the same subnet as the switch. If your DHCP server is not on the same subnet as the Brocade 5100, use a static IP address.

  • Page 20: Date And Time Settings

    Date and time are used for logging events. Switch operation does not depend on the date and time; a Brocade 5100 with an incorrect date and time value still functions properly. However, because the date and time are used for logging, error detection, and troubleshooting, you should set them correctly.
  • Page 21 You must perform the procedure on all switches for which the time zone must be set. However, you only need to set the time zone once on each switch, because the value is written to nonvolatile memory. Use one of the two following procedures to set the time zone.
