ipAddrSet Notes Operands • To set the CP Ethernet IPv4 address, use the -cp option; to set the Ethernet IP address for the entire chassis, use the -chassis option. When setting the chassis IP address, the command prompts for the Ethernet IP address and Ethernet subnet mask. When setting the CP Ethernet IP address, the command prompts for the host name, Ethernet IP address, Ethernet subnet mask, and Gateway IP address. Valid switch and CP numbers depend on the platform on which the command is run. The command must be executed on the active CP. • On most standalone platforms (with the exception of the AP7600), ipAddrSet runs interactively if invoked without operands. The command prompts for the Ethernet IP address, Ethernet subnet mask, and Gateway IP address. In addition, the command prompts for a specification of whether the Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) should be used to acquire the Ethernet IP address, Ethernet subnet mask and Gateway IP address. Valid entries are "On" to enable DHCP and "Off" to disable it. When DHCP is enabled, any user-configured Ethernet IP address, Ethernet subnet mask or Gateway IP address is ignored. The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric restrictions that may be in place. Refer to "Using Fabric OS Commands" and "Command Availability" for details. If the IP address is changed while there is an Ethernet connection, connectivity may be lost. The reason for this is explained in detail in the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide. If this happens, take one of the following actions to recover the interface: • Unplug the network cable, wait 5 seconds, and then plug it back in. • Perform a High Availability (HA) failover routine or hareboot for fixed port switches. • Power down the switch and then power it back up again. • Re-establish new Telnet or SSH sessions for the disconnected session after IP address change. When used in command line mode, the following operands are supported: -Ipv6 Specifies IP address type as static IPv6 including prefix as needed. --add x:x:x:x:x:x:x/n Sets the specified IPv6 address. --delete [x:x:x:x:x:x:x/n] Deletes the specified IPv6 address. If no address is specified, any existing IPv6 addresses and prefixes are deleted from the specified or implied entity. -cp cp_number Specifies the CP on a chassis. Valid values are 0 or 1. -chassis Specifies the IPv6 address and prefix of a chassis. On platforms with blade processors, the following additional command line options are supported with the --add or --delete options: -eth0 | -eth1 Specifies the local IPv4 address of the blade processor. A prefix is required. -gate Specifies the IPv4 address of the blade processor (BP) Gateway (no prefix). Brocade Fabric OS Command Reference 425 53-1004112-02
