Conguring an ICX 6430-C Device

IP address conguration
You must congure at least one IP address using the serial connection to the CLI before you can manage the system using the other
management interfaces.
Brocade devices support both classical IP network masks (Class A, B, and C subnet masks, and so on) and Classless Interdomain
Routing (CIDR) network prex masks.
• To enter a classical IP network mask, enter the mask in IP address format. For example, enter "209.157.22.99
255.255.255.0" for an IP address with a Class C subnet mask.
• To enter a prex number for a network mask, enter a forward slash (/) and the number of bits in the mask immediately after the
IP address. For example, enter "209.157.22.99/24" for an IP address that has a network mask with 24 signicant ("mask")
bits.
By default, the CLI displays network masks in classical IP address format (for example, 255.255.255.0). You can change the display to
the prex format.
