Configuring IP addresses

IPv6 devices running layer 3 software
Before attaching equipment to a Brocade router, you must assign an interface IP address to the
subnet on which the router will be located. You must use the serial connection to assign the first IP
address. For subsequent addresses, you also can use the CLI through Telnet or the Web
Management Interface.
By default, you can configure up to 24 IP interfaces on each port, virtual interface, and loopback
interface. You can increase this amount to up to 64 IP subnet addresses per port by increasing the
size of the subnet-per-interface table. Refer to the FastIron Configuration Guide for more
information.
The following procedure shows how to add an IPv6 address and mask to a router port.
1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable.
FastIron> enable
2. Enter the following command at the CLI Privileged EXEC level prompt, then press Enter. This
command erases the factory test configuration if still present.
FastIron# erase startup-config
CAUTION
Use the erase startup-config command only for new systems. If you enter this command on a
system you have already configured, the command erases the configuration. If you accidentally
do erase the configuration on a configured system, enter the write memory command to save the
running configuration to the startup-config file.
3. Access the configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command.
Privileged EXEC Level
FastIron# configure terminal
Global CONFIG Level
FastIron(config)#
4. Configure the IPv6 address and mask address for the interface.
FastIron(config)# int e 1/5
FastIron(config-if-e1000-1/5)# ipv6 address
2001:200:12D:1300:240:D0FF:FE48:4672:/64
These commands configure the global prefix 2001:200:12d:1300::/64 and the interface
ID::240:D0FF:FE48:4672, and enable IPv6 on interface e 1/5.
NOTE
The above procedure shows how to configure an IPv6 address with a manually configured Interface
ID as the address for the interface. You could also configure an IPv6 address with an automatically
computed EUI-64 Interface ID as the address for the interface. Link-local IPv6 addresses are also
supported. For details, refer to the FastIron Configuration Guide.
Syntax: enable [<password>]
Syntax: configure terminal
Syntax: [no] ipv6 address <ipv6-prefix>/<prefix-length>
