Verify that the switch has completed POST. When POST is complete, the port status and switch power and status LEDs return to a standard healthy state; for information about LED signals, refer to "Interpreting LED Activity" on page 15. 2. When the terminal emulator application stops reporting information, press Enter to display the login prompt. Setting the Switch IP Address To replace the default IP address and related information: 1. Enter the ipAddrSet command at the terminal emulator application prompt, and enter the requested information at the prompts: switch:admin> ipaddrset Ethernet IP Address [10.77.77.77]:10.32.53.47 Ethernet Subnetmask [255.0.0.0]:255.255.240.0 Fibre Channel IP Address [0.0.0.0]: Fibre Channel Subnetmask [0.0.0.0]: Gateway IP Address [0.0.0.0]:10.32.48.1 Set IP address now? [y = set now, n = next reboot]:y IP address being changed... Committing configuration...Done. switch:admin> 2. Optionally, verify that the address was correctly set by typing the ipAddrShow command at the prompt. 3. Record the IP address on the pull out tab (see Figure 1 on page 2) provided for this purpose on the bottom, port side of the Brocade 5000.
