Basic IP configuration
IP is enabled by default. Basic configuration consists of adding IP addresses for Layer 3 switches, enabling a route exchange protocol,
such as the Routing Information Protocol (RIP).
NOTE
The terms Layer 3 switch and router are used interchangeably in this chapter and mean the same.
NOTE
References to chassis-based Layer 3 switches apply to the FSX 800 and FSX 1600.
If you are configuring a Layer 3 switch, refer to
on page 37 to add IP addresses, then enable and configure
the route exchange protocols, as described in other chapters of this guide.
If you are configuring a Layer 2 switch, refer to
Configuring the management IP address and specifying the default gateway
on page
95 to add an IP address for management access through the network and to specify the default gateway.
The rest of this chapter describes IP and how to configure it in more detail. Use the information in this chapter if you need to change
some of the IP parameters from their default values or you want to view configuration information or statistics.
IP configuration overview
Brocade Layer 2 switches and Layer 3 switches support Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) and IPv6. IP support on Brocade Layer 2
switches consists of basic services to support management access and access to a default gateway.
Full Layer 3 support
IP support on Brocade full Layer 3 switches includes all of the following, in addition to a highly configurable implementation of basic IP
services including Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), ICMP Router Discovery Protocol (IRDP), and Reverse ARP (RARP):
•
Route exchange protocols:
–
Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
–
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)
–
Border Gateway Protocol version 4 (BGP4)
