Default IP Address and Configuring IP Addresses
Note: This procedure must be done by Brocade-trained service personnel.
All Brocade devices come from the factory with a default IP address. This address has a standard Class-C sub-net mask. To delete this address, use one of the following methods:
Switching Routers
The default IP address on switching routers is 209.157.22.254/24 (209.157.22.254 255.255.255.0) and applies to port 1/1 of the switching router. To change this address:
1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter the following enable command:
BigIron> enable
2. Access the configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command:
BigIron# configure terminal
BigIron (config)#
3. Enter a show run command to look for the IP address in the display.
BigIron# show run
4. Delete the factory-set IP address from port 1 (or 1/1 on chassis devices) by entering the following commands:
BigIron(config)# interface ethernet 1/1
BigIron(config-if-e1000-1/1))# no ip address 209.157.22.254 255.255.255.0
BigIron(config-if-e1000-1/1)# exit
BigIron(config)#
5. Configure the IP addresses and mask addresses for the interfaces on the router. For example, to set port 1/5 to IP address 192.22.3.44/24, enter the following commands:
BigIron(config)# interface ethernet 1/5
BigIron(config-if-e1000-1/5)# ip address 192.22.3.44 255.255.255.0
6. Set a default gateway address for the switching router. For example, to set the gateway to 192.22.3.1, enter the following command:
BigIron(config)# ip default-gateway 192.22.3.1
7. Save the configuration changes to the device's flash memory:
BigIron (config-if-e1000-1/1)# write memory
Switches
Note: This procedure does not apply to EdgeIron switches.
The default IP address on switches is 209.157.22.254/24 (209.157.22.254 255.255.255.0). It is configured on port 1 of the switch and applies globally to the entire switch. To change this address:
1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter the following enable command:
FastIronII> enable
2. Access the configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command:
FastIronII# configure terminal
FastIronII(config)#
3. Enter a show run command to look for the IP address in the display.
FastIronII# show run
4. Delete the factory-set IP address from the switch by entering the following command:
FastIronII(config)# no ip address 209.157.22.254 255.255.255.0
5. Configure the IP address and mask address for the switch. For example, to set the address and mask to 192.22.3.44 255.255.255.0, enter the following command:
FastIronII(config)# ip address 192.22.3.44 255.255.255.0
6. Set a default gateway address for the switch. For example, to set the gateway to 192.22.3.1, enter the following command:
FastIronII(config)# ip default-gateway 192.22.3.1
7. Save the configuration changes to the device's flash memory:
FastIronII(config)# write mem
IronPoint 200 Access Points and RF Sensors
Brocade IronPoint 200 Access Points and RF Sensors come with the following default IP information:
Default IP address: 169.254.1.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
Default gateway: 169.254.1.254
To change this definition:
1. Access the configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command:
IronPoint#configure
2. Replace the default IP address and subnet mask and default gateway. For example:
IronPoint(config)#interface Ethernet
IronPoint(config-if)# ip address 192.168.2.2 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.254
