TABLE 4
IP global parameters - Layer 2 switches (continued)
Parameter
Description
Default
addresses into the DHCP Discovery packets in a
round robin fashion.
DHCP Client-Based Auto-Configuration
Allows the switch to obtain IP addresses from a
DHCP host automatically, for either a specified
(leased) or infinite period of time.
Enabled
Interface IP parameters - Layer 2 switches
TABLE 5
Interface IP parameters - Layer 2 switches
Parameter
Description
Default
DHCP gateway stamp
You can configure a list of DHCP stamp
addresses for a port. When the port receives a
DHCP/BootP Discovery packet from a client,
the port places the IP addresses in the gateway
list into the packet Gateway field.
None configured
Configuring IP parameters - Layer 3 switches
The following sections describe how to configure IP parameters. Some parameters can be configured globally while others can be
configured on individual interfaces. Some parameters can be configured globally and overridden for individual interfaces.
Configuring IP addresses
You can configure an IP address on the following types of Layer 3 switch interfaces:
•
Ethernet port
•
Virtual routing interface (also called a Virtual Ethernet or "VE")
•
Loopback interface
•
GRE tunnels
By default, you can configure up to 24 IP addresses on each interface.
You can increase this amount to up to 128 IP subnet addresses per port by increasing the size of the ip-subnet-port table.
Refer to the section "Displaying system parameter default values" in the
FastIron Ethernet Switch Platform and Layer 2 Switching
Configuration Guide
.
NOTE
Once you configure a virtual routing interface on a VLAN, you cannot configure Layer 3 interface parameters on individual
ports. Instead, you must configure the parameters on the virtual routing interface itself.
Brocade devices support both classical IP network masks (Class A, B, and C subnet masks, and so on) and Classless Interdomain
Routing (CIDR) network prefix masks:
•
To enter a classical network mask, enter the mask in IP address format. For example, enter "10.157.22.99 255.255.255.0" for
an IP address with a Class-C subnet mask.
•
To enter a prefix network mask, enter a forward slash ( / ) and the number of bits in the mask immediately after the IP address.
For example, enter "10.157.22.99/24" for an IP address that has a network mask with 24 significant bits (ones).
