3. Access the configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command.
Privileged EXEC Level.
device# configure terminal
Global CONFIG Level.
device(config)#
4. Configure the IP address and mask for the switch.
device(config)# ipv6 address 2001:DB8:12D:1300:240:D0FF:FE48:4000:1/64
NOTE
The above procedure shows how to configure an IPv6 address with a manually configured interface ID as the system-
wide address for the switch. You could also configure an IPv6 address with an automatically computed EUI-64
interface ID as the system-wide address for the switch. A link-local IPv6 address is also supported. For details, refer to
the FastIron Ethernet Switch Layer 3 Configuration Guide.
Syntax:
enable
password
Syntax:
configure terminal
Syntax:
[no] ipv6address
ipv6-prefix/prefix-length
You must specify the
ipv6-prefix
variable in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons as documented in RFC 2373.
You must specify the
prefix-length
variable in decimal value. A slash mark (/) must follow the
ipv6-prefix
variable and precede
the
prefix-length
variable.
Connecting network devices
Brocade devices support connections to other vendors’ routers, switches, and hubs, as well as other Brocade devices.
Cable specifications
Refer to
on page 167 for cable lengths and types.
Connecting to Ethernet or fast Ethernet hubs
For copper connections to Ethernet hubs, a 10/100Base-TX or 1000Base-T switch, or another Brocade device, a crossover cable is
required (see UTP and Cat-5 crossover cable diagrams below). If the hub is equipped with an uplink port, it will require a straight-through
cable instead of a crossover cable.
NOTE
The 802.3ab standard (automatic MDI or MDIX detection) calls for automatic negotiation of the connection between two
1000Base-T ports. Therefore, a crossover cable may not be required; a straight-through cable may work as well. For more
information about this feature, refer to the FastIron Ethernet Switch Administration Configuration Guide.
