 AN!Wiki :: How To :: Configuring Brocade Switches

Validated Switches

The following switches (and firmwares) have been validates to work with the Anvil!:

  • ICX6610
    • 7.40d
  • ICX6450
    • 7.40a
    • 7.40e
    • 8.00a

Serial Connection

You can use screen to connect to the switch (default values are fine).

screen /dev/ttySO

The screen will be blank until you press <enter>.

No password has been assigned yet...

There is no default user name and password. To use the web interface later, a user and password needs to be set.

Note: Super User level password can be an alphanumeric string, but cannot begin with a number.

Configure VLAN

We're creating three separate VLANs;

  • VID 100 (BCN)
  • VID 200 (SN)
  • VID 300 (IFN)

All ports default to VID 1. All unassigned ports remain in VID 1.

# config terminal

### (config-vlan-100) untag ethernet 1/1/1 to 1/1/10

Added untagged port(s) ethe 1/1/1 to 1/1/10 to port-vlan 100.

### (config-vlan-100) untag ethernet 2/1/1 to 2/1/10

Added untagged port(s) ethe 2/1/1 to 2/1/10 to port-vlan 100.

### (config-vlan-200) untag ethernet 1/1/11 to 1/1/14 ethernet 2/1/11 to 2/1/24

Added untagged port(s) ethe 1/1/11 to 1/1/14 ethe 2/1/11 to 2/1/24 to port-vlan 200.

Oops. Have to send some ports back to VID 1.

Trunking

Passive Trunk

This is used when the connected switch does not support LACP.

Note: Configure with only one cable connected into the trunk ports.
# config terminal
## (config) trunk ethernet 1/1/24 ethernet 2/1/24

Trunk will be created in next trunk deploy.

## (config) trunk deploy
## (config) write memory

Active Trunk

This is used if you can create an LACP on the client's switch.

Note: Configure with only one cable connected into the trunk ports.
# config terminal

Installing Keys

Once you get the license file from Brocade, copy the key(s) to the root of your TFTP server (/var/lib/tftpboot/).

Note the LID number and which stack ID. In this case, I renamed the license files so that 'an-s01_01.key' was for the LID for switch stack 1 (the license key's suffix is the LID of the unit, see 'show config').

Resetting Lost Password

If you've lost the system password, you will need physical access to the switch.

Note: If you can't sit at your computer and press the reset button directly, ask someone to help with this next step as the timing is short.

On the front of the switch will be a small "Reset" switch. To press this, you will need a very thin object in order to press the button, like a small paper clip, needle or so on.

During the boot process, press b when you see the Enter 'b' to stop at boot monitor: prompt.

Enter 'b' to stop at boot monitor:  0 
ICX64XX-boot>> no password
OK! Skip password check when the system is up.
ICX64XX-boot>> boot system flash primary
Usage:
boot    - boot default, i.e., run 'bootcmd'

ICX64XX-boot>> boot_primary
Booting image from Primary

OK

On next boot, you will be able to log into the switch without a password.

Reset to Factory Defaults

Note: This will erase any loaded licenses. If you have loaded licenses, be sure you have them backed up before proceeding.

At the command prompt, do:

SHESW11#erase startup-config 
Erase startup-config Done.
dhcp server lease database is also removed
Warning: Do not write memory! This will reload the running configuration back onto the system.
SHESW11#reload
Are you sure? (enter 'y' or 'n'): 
Sent SIGKILL to all processes

On the next boot, you should have an as-new system.

Notes

Port numbering syntax is:

<stack>/<module>/<port>

Module numbering;

  • 1; Copper 1 Gbit
  • 2; Fibre stack
  • 3; 10 Gbps fibre
