Setting a Static IP address on the Brocade switch

Follow the steps below to set a static IP address on the Brocade switch.
  1. Log in to the switch using the default password (which is password).
  2. To set the Ethernet IP address use the ipaddrset command.

    If you are going to use an IPv4 IP address, enter the IP address in dotted decimal notation as prompted. As you enter a value and press Enter for a line in the following example, the next line appears.

    For example, the Ethernet IP address appears first. When you enter a new IP address and press Enter or simply press Enter to accept the existing value, the Ethernet Subnetmask line appears.

    In addition to the Ethernet IP address itself, you can set the Ethernet subnet mask, the Gateway IP address, and whether to obtain the IP address by way of DHCP.

switch:admin> ipaddrset

Ethernet IP Address [192.168.74.102]:

Ethernet Subnetmask [255.255.255.0]:

Gateway IP Address [192.168.74.1]:

DHCP [Off]: off

If you are going to use an IPv6 address, enter the network information in semicolon-separated notation as a standalone command.

switch:admin> ipaddrset -ipv6 --add 1080::8:800:200C:417A/64

IP address is being changed...Done.
