About This Document

The Brocade ICX 6650 is a ToR (Top of Rack) Ethernet switch for campus LAN and classic Ethernet

data center environments.

Audience

This document is designed for system administrators with a working knowledge of Layer 2 and

Layer 3 switching and routing.

If you are using a Brocade Layer 3 Switch, you should be familiar with the following protocols if

applicable to your network: IP, RIP, OSPF, BGP, ISIS, PIM, and VRRP.

Supported hardware and software

This document is specific to the Brocade ICX 6650 running FastIron 7.5.00.

Brocade ICX 6650 slot and port numbering

Many CLI commands require users to enter port numbers as part of the command syntax, and

many show command outputs display port numbers. The port numbers are entered and displayed

in stack-unit/slot number/port number format. In all Brocade ICX 6650 inputs and outputs, the

stack-unit number is always 1.

The Brocade ICX 6650 contains the following slots and Ethernet ports:

• Slot 1 is located on the front of the ICX 6650 device and contains ports 1 through 56. Ports 1

through 32 are 10 GbE. Ports 33 through 56 are 1/10 GbE SFP+ ports. Refer to the following

figure.

Slot 1

Brocade ICX 6650 slot and port numbering

• Slot 2 is located on the back of the Brocade ICX 6650 device and contains ports 1 through 3

on the top row and port 4 on the bottom row. These ports are 2x40 GbE QSFP+. Refer to the

following figure.

• Slot 3 is located on the back of the Brocade ICX 6650 device and contains ports 1 through 8.

These ports are 4 x 10 GbE breakout ports and require the use of a breakout cable. Refer to

the previous figure.

2 Brocade ICX 6650 Layer 3 Routing Configuration Guide

53-1002603-01

Basic IP configuration

NOTE

The terms Layer 3 Switch and router are used interchangeably in this chapter and mean the same.

Basic IP configuration

IP is enabled by default. Basic configuration consists of adding IP addresses for Layer 3 Switches,

enabling a route exchange protocol, such as the Routing Information Protocol (RIP).

If you are configuring a Layer 3 Switch, refer to “Configuring IP addresses” on page 19 to add IP

addresses, then enable and configure the route exchange protocols, as described in other chapters

of this guide.

If you are configuring a Layer 2 Switch, refer to “Configuring the management IP address and

specifying the default gateway” on page 88 to add an IP address for management access through

the network and to specify the default gateway.

The rest of this chapter describes IP and how to configure it in more detail. Use the information in

this chapter if you need to change some of the IP parameters from their default values or you want

to view configuration information or statistics.

IP configuration overview

Brocade Layer 2 Switches and Layer 3 Switches support Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) and IPv6.

IP support on Brocade Layer 2 Switches consists of basic services to support management access

and access to a default gateway.

Full Layer 3 support

IP support on Brocade full Layer 3 Switches includes all of the following, in addition to a highly

configurable implementation of basic IP services including Address Resolution Protocol (ARP),

ICMP Router Discovery Protocol (IRDP), and Reverse ARP (RARP):

• Route-only support (Global configuration level only)

• Route redistribution

Local proxy ARP Yes

Jumbo frames

• Up to 10,240 bytes

Yes

IP MTU (individual port setting) Yes

Path MTU discovery Yes

ICMP Router Discovery Protocol (IRDP) Yes

Domain Name Server (DNS) resolver Yes
