3. Enter the enable super-user-password command to set the super-user password.

device(config)#

enable super-user-password mustang

NOTE

You must set the super-user password before you can set other types of passwords.

4. Enter the following commands to set the port conguration and read-only passwords.

device(config)# enable port-config-password mustang

device(config)# enable read-only-password mustang

NOTE

If you forget your super-user password, refer to the release notes.

The text for the read-only--password and the port-cong password should be dierent from the text for the super-user

password. Passwords can be up to 48 characters long.

Conguring IP addresses

Brocade routers implement separate data and control planes. This architecture

aects how you assign IP addresses. The following table

outlines the interfaces to which you can assign IP addresses.

In this table, "In band" refers to an interface over which user packets are routed, while "Out of band" refers to an interface over which

control packets related to system management are forwarded.

TABLE 36 Interfaces that can be given IP addresses

Interface Associated physical port Out of band or In band

Management interface Ethernet 10/100/1000 port on active or

redundant management module

Out of band

Any interface over which user packets are routed Any interface module port In band

Any virtual interface over which user packets are

routed

Any interface port In band

Loopback interface - In band

Support of subnet masks

Brocade routers 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.

• Enter a classical network 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.
