ICX 6450-48P 10/100/1000 Mbps ports 1-48 SFP and SFP+ ports 1-4

10/100/1000 BASE-T ports

All ICX 6430 and ICX 6450 devices provide 24 or 48 RJ-45 ports that operate at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbpshalf or full duplex, or at 1000 Mbps full duplex. Because all ports support automatic MDI or MDI-Xoperation, you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs, servers, or otherdevices or hubs. In addition, it is ideal (and preferred) to use straight-through cables for switch-to-switchconnections.

Each port supports auto-negotiation, so the optimum transmission mode (half or full duplex), and thedata rate (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) can be selected automatically. If a device connected to one of theseports does not support auto-negotiation, the communication mode of the port can be configuredmanually.

Network interfaces for ICX 6430 and ICX 6450 devices


SFP or SFP+ fiber ports

ICX 6430 and ICX 6450 devices contain four small form factor pluggable (SFP) ports (ports 1 through4). The top row consists of ports 1 and 3, and the bottom row consists of ports 2 and 4. These portsreside on slot 2 of the stackable switch and can be used as uplink (data) ports or stacking ports.

The ICX 6430 contains SFP ports that support 1 Gbps port speeds but do not support 10 Gbps portspeeds. The ICX 6450 contains SFP+ ports that support 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps port speeds.

Ports 1 and 3 are default stacking ports. Default stacking ports are enabled to accept special stackingpackets during a CLI-initiated command sequence of the Secure Setup utility. If ports 1 and 3 are notused as stacking ports, you can use them as data ports. Configuration is not required to use them asdata ports.

On the ICX 6450, ports 1 and 3 are 10 Gbps ports. Without a license at bootup, ICX 6450 ports 2 and4 come up in 10 Gbps port speed in an error disabled state. To enable ports 2 and 4 to 10 Gbps portspeed, purchase the ICX6450-2X10G-LIC-POD license. For more information about enabling ports 2and 4 to 10 Gbps port speed, refer to the FastIron Ethernet Switch Administration Guide. The ICX6450-10G-LIC-POD license is not applicable toICX 6430 devices because there are no 10 Gbps portson the device.

For information about supported SFP and SFP+ transceivers, refer to the following Brocade website:

http://www.brocade.com/downloads/documents/data_sheets/product_data_sheets/optical-family-ds.pdf

Specifying a port addressYou can specify a port address for an uplink (data) port, stacking port, or a management port.

Specifying a data port

The port address format is stack unit/slot/port, where:

• stack unit --Specifies the stack unit ID. For the ICX 6430, the range is from 1 through 4. For the ICX6450, the range is from 1 through 8. If the device is not part of a stack, the stack unit ID is 1.

• slot --Specifies the slot number; either 1 or 2.• port --Specifies the port number in the slot. The range is from 1 through 24 (24-port models) or 1

through 48 (48-port models).

This example shows how to specify port 2 in slot 1 of a device that is not part of a stack:

Brocade (config) # interface ethernet 1/1/2

Specifying a stacking port

The port address format is stack unit/slot/port where:

• stack unit --Specifies the stack unit ID. For the ICX 6430, the range is from 1 through 4. For the ICX6450, the range is from 1 through 8.

• slot --Specifies the slot number. Stacking ports are in slot 2.• port --Specifies the port number in the slot. Stacking ports are 1, 2, 3, and 4.

This example shows how to specify stacking port 3 in slot 2 of unit 3 in a stack:

Brocade (config) # interface ethernet 3/2/3

SFP or SFP+ fiber ports




Specifying a management port

The management port number is always 1. This example shows how to specify the management port:

Brocade (config) # interface management 1

Connecting devices in a traditional stackICX 6430 devices and ICX 6450 devices can operate as standalone devices and also as members oftraditional stacks. A stack is a group of devices—Brocade stackable units and their connected stackinglinks—that are connected so that the stack is managed as a single entity.

A traditional stack contains devices from only one model in a product family: only ICX 6430 devices oronly ICX 6450 devices. A traditional stack cannot contain both ICX 6430 devices and ICX 6450 devices.

Stacking ports and trunksThere are four SFP ports (ICX 6430) or four SFP+ ports (ICX 6450) on the front panels that can be usedas uplink (data) ports or as stacking ports. The figure below shows the ports in slot 2; the top rowconsists of ports 1 and 3, and the bottom row consists of ports 2 and 4.

Connecting devices in a traditional stack


FIGURE 26 Stacking ports

1. Console port2. Slot 2 (SFP and SFP + uplink or stacking ports)3. Out-of-band management port4. Slot 1 (10/100/1000 Mbps ports)

Ports 1 and 3 are default stacking ports. Default stacking ports have the capability to accept specialstacking packets during a CLI-initiated command sequence of the Secure Setup utility. If ports 1 and 3are not used as stacking ports, you can use them as data ports. Configuration is not required to usethem as data ports.

All four ports in slot 2 can be used as stacking ports.

The stacking ports can be grouped into two trunks. Ports 1 and 2 can form a trunk; ports 3 and 4 canform another trunk. By default, ICX 6430 and ICX 6450 devices are not configured for trunking.

On the ICX 6450, ports 1 and 3 are 10 Gbps ports. Without a license at bootup, ICX 6450 ports 2 and4 come up in 10 Gbps port speed in an error disabled state. To enable ports 2 and 4 to 10 Gbps portspeed, purchase the ICX6450-2X10G-LIC-POD license. For more information about enabling ports 2and 4 to 10 Gbps port speed, refer to the FastIron Ethernet Switch Administration Guide.

Trunking requirements

• You can connect one or both ports in a trunk. Connecting both ports in a trunk increases stackingbandwidth and provides resiliency.

• If you connect both ports in a trunk, both ports must connect to both ports of one trunk on anotherdevice.

• When configuring a trunk, the ports in the same column are always trunked (port 1 to port 2, port 3to port 4). One or both of the two sets of stacking ports can be trunked (or untrunked).

• For ICX 6430 devices, all stacking ports must be at 1-Gbps port speed to enable trunking. For ICX6450 devices, all stacking ports must be configured to 10-Gbps port speed to enable trunking.

Stacking configuration requirementsBefore configuring the traditional stack using the CLI, physically connect the devices using stackingcables. For information about configuring a stack, refer to the FastIron Ethernet Switch StackingConfiguration Guide.

Stacking cablesUse copper stacking cables or SFP+ fiber-optic cables to connect ICX 6450 devices or ICX 6430devices in a traditional stack. The active copper cable lengths for 1-Gbps ports are 1 meter and 5meters. The copper cable lengths for 10-Gbps ports are 1 meter, 3 meters, and 5 meters.



Stack sizeA traditional stack can contain a maximum of eight ICX 6450 devices or four ICX 6430 devices. Atraditional stack cannot contain both ICX 6430 and ICX 6450 devices.

Stacking topologiesBoth linear and ring topologies are supported in a traditional stack. In a linear stack topology there is aconnection between each switch that carries two-way communications across the stack. Thisconnection can use one port or two ports per trunk.

For example, in a four-unit stack using a linear topology, unit 1 connects to unit 2, unit 2 to unit 3, andunit 3 to unit 4.

In ring stack topology, there is an extra connection between the logical first and last devices forming a"ring" or "closed-loop." The closed-loop connection provides a redundant path for the stack link, so ifone link fails, stack communications can be maintained.

For example, in a four-unit stack using a ring topology, unit 1 connects to unit 2, unit 2 to unit 3, unit 3 tounit 4, and unit 4 connects to unit 1.

You can connect stacking units using one port per trunk or both ports in a trunk. For maximumbandwidth and link redundancy, use both ports per trunk.

The following figures show supported stacking topologies:

• Linear and ring stacking topologies using one port per trunk (the most commonly configured stackingtopology)

• Linear stacking topology using both ports in each trunk.• Ring stacking topology using both ports in each trunk

Connecting devices in a mixed stackICX 6450 devices can operate as standalone devices and also as members of a mixed stack. A stack isa group of devices--Brocade stackable units and their connected stacking links--that are connected sothat the stack is managed as a single entity.

A mixed stack contains ICX 6610 devices and ICX 6450 devices. ICX 6610 devices form the backboneof the mixed stack. ICX 6450 devices are peripheral units that connect to the backbone and to otherperipheral units.

The table below summarizes the ports used in mixed stacking.

ICX 6610 stacking ports and trunksThis section discusses the ports you can use to connect ICX 6610 devices in the backbone and to ICX6450 devices.

Ports used to connect ICX 6610 devices in the backbone

The ICX 6610 device contains four ports in slot 2 on the rear panel that are dedicated stacking ports.They cannot be used as data ports, even when stacking is not enabled. There are two 40 Gbps portsand two 4 x 10 Gbps ports arranged in two rows.

The stacking ports can be grouped into two trunks. Ports 1 and 2 on the top row can form trunk 0;ports 6 and 7 on the bottom row can form trunk 1.

You can trunk stacking ports by connecting one port of each type (40 Gbps or 4 x 10 Gbps) to ports ofthe same type on another ICX 6610 device in the stack.

Ports used to connect ICX 6610 devices to ICX 6450 devices

There are eight SFP+ ports in slot 3 on the front panel of an ICX 6610 device that are used to connectICX 6610 devices to ICX 6450 devices in a mixed stack. The following first figure shows the 10 GbpsSFP+ ports in slot 3 of a 24-port device. The following second figure shows the 10 Gbps SFP+ ports inslot 3 of a 48-port device.

Without a license at bootup, the SFP+ ports come up in 10 Gbps port speed in an error disabled state.To enable the SFP+ ports to 10 Gbps port speed, you must purchase the ICX6610-10G-LIC-PODlicense for each ICX 6610 SFP+ port that connects to an ICX 6450 device.

Maximum number of ports used on an ICX 6610 device to connect to ICX 6450 devices

Any one ICX 6610 device supports a maximum of:

• Two trunk connections to ICX 6450 peripheral devices (four ports total)• Two single (untrunked) port connections to ICX 6450 peripheral devices.

ICX 6450 stacking ports and trunksThe ICX 6450 contains four SFP+ ports in slot 2 on the front panel that can be used as uplink (data)ports or as stacking ports. The following figure below shows the ports in slot 2; the top row consists ofports 1 and 3, and the bottom row consists of ports 2 and 4.

FIGURE 33 Stacking ports on the front panel of an ICX 6450 device


Ports 1 and 3 are default stacking ports. Default stacking ports have the capability to accept specialstacking packets during a CLI-initiated command sequence of the Secure Setup utility. If ports 1 and 3are not used as stacking ports, you can use them as data ports. Configuration is not required to usethem as data ports.

All four ports in slot 2 can be used as stacking ports.

The stacking ports can be grouped into two trunks. Ports 1 and 2 can form a trunk; ports 3 and 4 canform another trunk. By default, ICX 6450 devices are not configured for trunking.

On the ICX 6450, ports 1 and 3 are 10 Gbps ports. Without a license at bootup, ICX 6450 ports 2 and4 come up in 10 Gbps port speed in an error disabled state. To enable ports 2 and 4 to 10 Gbps portspeed, you must purchase the ICX6450-2X10G-LIC-POD license. For more information aboutenabling ports 2 and 4 to 10 Gbps port speed, refer to the FastIron Ethernet Switch AdministrationGuide.




• When configuring a trunk, the ports in the same column are always trunked (port 1 to port 2, port 3to port 4). One or both of the two sets of stacking ports can be trunked (or untrunked).

• For ICX 6450 devices, all stacking ports must be configured to 10 Gbps port speed to enabletrunking.

ICX 6450 stacking ports and trunks


NOTEIf you use the Secure Setup utility to set up a mixed stack, the stacking units (ICX 6610 devices andICX 6450 devices) are automatically trunked.

Stacking configuration requirementsThe stacking configuration requirements are describes in the sections below.

All configuration methods

Before configuring the mixed stack, physically connect the devices using stacking cables.

Secure Setup utility

To use the 10 Gbps SFP+ ports on the front panel of ICX 6610 devices to connect ICX 6610 devices toICX 6450 devices in a mixed stack, configure the SFP+ ports on the ICX 6610 devices to 10 Gbps usingthe speed command.

Automatic and manual configuration methods

To connect an ICX 6610 device in the backbone to an ICX 6450 device (peripheral unit), configure theperi-port command or peri-trunk command on the ICX 6610 device.

For information about configuring a stack, refer to the FastIron Ethernet Switch Stacking ConfigurationGuide.

Stack sizeA mixed stack can contain one or two ICX 6610 devices. They form the backbone of the mixed stack.ICX 6450 devices are peripheral units. There can be one to six ICX 6450 devices in a mixed stack.

Stacking configuration requirements


Peripheral devices can form one or more substacks. A substack is a topology that is formed by ICX6450 devices. If ICX 6450 devices are separated by an ICX 6610 device, the ICX 6450 devices belongto different substacks.

Stacking topologiesTwo basic ring topologies are supported in a mixed stack: single ring and dual ring.

In a linear stack topology, there is a connection between each switch that carries two-waycommunications across the stack. This connection can use one port or two ports per trunk.

In ring stack topology, there is an extra connection between the logical first and last devices forming a"ring" or "closed-loop." The closed-loop connection provides a redundant path for the stack link, so ifone link fails, stack communications can be maintained.

For example, in a four-unit stack using a ring topology, unit 1 connects to unit 2, unit 2 to unit 3, unit 3to unit 4, and unit 4 connects to unit 1.

You can connect stacking units using one port per trunk or both ports in a trunk. For maximumbandwidth and link redundancy, use both ports per trunk on all stack units.

Topology 1: Single ring

In the figure below, two ICX 6610 devices form the backbone and there are three ICX 6450 peripheraldevices. There can be up to six ICX 6450 peripheral devices.

This is a single ring configuration in which the second ICX 6610 device is connected to the first ICX6450 device, and the first ICX 6610 device is connected to the last ICX 6450 device. There is onesubstack that contains three peripheral devices.

Stacking topologies


FIGURE 34 Topology 1: single ring

Topology 2: Dual ring

In the following figure, two ICX 6610 devices form the backbone and there are six ICX 6450 peripheraldevices in two rings. This is a dual ring configuration.

The first ICX 6610 device is connected to the last ICX 6450 device in the "vertical" ring. The backbonedevices are also connected to the first and last ICX 6450 devices in the "horizontal" ring.

There are two substacks, each containing three peripheral devices.

Topology 2: Dual ring


FIGURE 35 Topology 2: Dual ring

Topology 3: Linear and ring

In the following figure, two ICX 6610 devices form the backbone and there are six ICX 6450 peripheraldevices in two substacks. Each substack contains three peripheral devices.

One substack is connected to one ICX 6610 device to form a linear topology. The other substack isconnected to each of the ICX 6610 devices to form a ring topology.

Topology 3 is almost identical to topology 2 except that the "horizontal" substack is not connected tothe second ICX 6610 device either by design or because the link is broken. This is still a validtopology.

Topology 3: Linear and ring


FIGURE 36 Topology 3: Linear and ring

Topology 4: Ring with one backbone device

In the following figure, one ICX 6610 device forms the backbone and there are six ICX 6450 peripheraldevices in a ring topology. There is one substack that contains all six peripheral devices.

Topology 4 shows that you can have a mixed stack with only one ICX 6610 device, although thisconfiguration does not provide high availability or resiliency for the stack because there is no standbycontroller.

FIGURE 37 Topology 4: Ring with one backbone device

Topology recommendations

Consider these factors when you implement a topology:

• Limit the number of VLANs of peripheral devices to reduce broadcast and multicast packets floodingto the peripheral devices.

• Broadcast and multicast packets of a VLAN are flooded to a substack if the substack has any ports inthe VLAN. For this reason, you should limit (localize) VLAN association of substack ports.

For example, substacks 1 and 2 have ports in VLAN 10, 11, 12, and 13. In this case, you shouldarrange the VLAN port association so that substack 1 ports are in VLAN 10, 11, and 12 and substack 2ports are in VLAN 12 and 13. Such an arrangement avoids flooding packets in VLAN 13 to substack 1,and also avoids flooding packets in VLAN 10 and 11 to substack 2.

Topology 4: Ring with one backbone device


• A ring topology is more resilient than a linear topology.• If there are two backbone devices, link substacks to both backbone devices.• To prevent traffic congestion and avoid potential latency issues, keep substacks small, especially in

linear topologies.

Connecting ICX 6610 devices in the backboneThe following figure shows how to connect ICX 6610 devices in a mixed stack backbone using bothports (ports 1 and 2) in trunk 0 of each ICX 6610 device. Ports 1 and 2 in the top device connect toports 1 and 2 in the bottom device, respectively.

It also shows how to connect two ICX 6450 peripheral devices to each other. Bothports in each ICX 6450 trunk are used.

One trunk (ports 1 and 2) in the middle ICX 6450 device is used for the upstream link to the ICX 6610device. The other trunk (ports 3 and 4) in the middle ICX 6450 device is used for the downstream linkto the second ICX 6450 device.

The ports or trunk on an ICX 6610 device that connect to a peripheral device are called peripheralports or a peripheral trunk - because they link to ICX 6450 peripheral devices. The first port in aperipheral trunk on a backbone device and the first port in a stack trunk on a peripheral device mustbe an odd-numbered port, for example, 1/3/1 or 3/2/1.

Extended distance stackingExtended distance stacking allows stacking of devices in a distributed network environment. You canform a stack of co-located devices or devices located over an extended distance to form a distributedstack. Extended distance stacking provides resiliency, scalability, and ease of management whether thelocation of switches is in the same equipment rack or distributed across a network.

To set up extended distance stacking, use fiber-optic cables to connect the devices in a stack. Contactyour Brocade representative for information about supported fiber-optic cables and distances.

Powering on the system

After you complete the physical installation, you can power on the system.

NOTEThe socket should be installed near the equipment and should be easily accessible.

1. Remove the power cord from the shipping container.2. Attach the AC power cord to the AC connector on the rear panel.3. Insert the power cord plug into a 100V-240V outlet.

DANGERBefore beginning the installation, see the precautions in “Power precautions.”

ICX 6400-EPS1500 external power supplyIn the event of an AC power loss or internal power supply device failure, the BrocadeICX 6400-EPS1500 external power supply can be used as a backup power source to a device when any of thethree ports are connected to an ICX 6430 or ICX 6450 device. Proprietary DC cables are used toconnect any of the three EPS ports of the ICX 6400-EPS1500 to the rear EPS port of an ICX 6430 orICX 6450 device. For more information about connecting an ICX 6430 or ICX 6450 device to the ICX6400-EPS1500, refer to Connecting devices to the external power supply on page 61.

Each EPS port provides an external 12 V redundant system power source (up to 65 W), and an external54 V additional PoE power source (up to 370 W). When the ICX 6400-EPS1500 is connected to an ICX6430 or ICX 6450 non-PoE device, it operates as an external redundant power supply to the devices. Inthis case, only the 12 V of the EPS port is utilized by the device. The 54 V PoE power source is notused by the device.

NOTEThe internal power supply of the ICX 6430 or ICX 6450 device is not a field-replaceable unit (FRU). Thedevices must be shut down by administrators for replacement.

Brocade recommends that you pay attention to the PoE or PoE+ port configuration of the device whenconnecting to an ICX 6400-EPS1500. The internal power supply of each ICX 6430 or ICX 6450 PoE orPoE+ device has a maximum number of supported PoE or PoE+ ports. Brocade recommends thatwhen the ICX 6400-EPS1500 is used as a redundant power source for the ICX 6430 or ICX 6450 PoEdevice, that the maximum number of PoE or PoE+ ports of the external power supply must not exceedthe maximum number of PoE or PoE+ ports of the internal power supply capability of each ICX 6430 orICX 6450 device.

For more information about the maximum number of PoE or PoE+ ports supported with the internalpower supply of a device, refer to Power supply usage on page 23 section. For example, an ICX


6450-48P device with two EPS connectors must be connected to the ICX 6400-EPS1500. If youincrease the maximum number of PoE or PoE+ ports that can be supported in each ICX 6430 or ICX6450 device, and if the internal power supply fails, the ICX 6400-EPS1500 cannot guarantee thedevices are protected by the backup power source. The ICX 6400-EPS1500 will not have enoughpower to sustain the failed internal power supply. In this case, the device can go down even with theICX 6400-EPS1500 connected.

The ICX 6400-EPS1500 has three DC output ports: EPS OUT 1, EPS OUT 2, and EPS OUT 3. Eachport supplies 65 W of +12 VDC of DC power, and 370 W of 54 VDC of PoE power. The ICX 6400-EPS1500 is powered on when it is connected to an active AC power source.

NOTEThe ICX 6400-EPS1500 DC cable is hot-pluggable. You must pay attention to the PoE power usage toensure that the devices are protected before removing the EPS connectors or AC power cords.

The following devices are supported by the BrocadeICX 6400-EPS1500:

7 Secure access to the device. FastIron Ethernet SwitchAdministration Guide


PC or terminal attachment

You can access the CLI by attaching a serial cable to the console port. After you assign an IP address,you can access the system through Telnet or Brocade Network Advisor.

Complete the following steps to attach a management station to the console port.

1. Connect a PC or terminal to the console (RJ-45 serial port) of the device.

To connect the console port to a DB-9 port, you need an RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter.

For information about locating the serial port, refer to Network and management interfaces on page15.

The serial port has an RJ-45 connector. For port pinout information, refer to Pinouts and signallingon page 95.

NOTEYou must run a terminal emulation program on the PC.

2. Launch the terminal emulation program and set the following session parameters:

• Baud: 9600 bps• Data bits: 8• Parity: None• Stop bits: 1• Flow control: None

The console serial communication port serves as a connection point for management by a PC orSNMP workstation. When you establish the serial connection to the system, press Enter to displaythe CLI prompt in the terminal emulation window, as shown in the following example.

device>If you see this prompt, you are connected to the system and can proceed to the task Passwordassignment on page 66

You can customize the prompt by changing the system name. For more information, refer to theFastIron Ethernet Switch Administration Guide.

If you do not see the prompt, make sure the cable is securely connected to your PC and to theBrocade system.

Check the settings in your terminal emulation program. In addition to the previously configuredsession settings, make sure the terminal emulation session is running on the same serial port youattached to the Brocade system.

Password assignmentBy default, the CLI is not protected by passwords. To secure CLI access, Brocade stronglyrecommends assigning passwords. Refer to the FastIron Ethernet Switch Administration Guide.

NOTEYou can assign passwords using Brocade Network Advisor if an enable password for a Super Userhas been configured on the device.

PC or terminal attachment


The CLI contains the following access levels:

• User EXEC - The level you enter when you first start a CLI session. At this level, you can view somesystem information but you cannot configure system or port parameters.

• Privileged EXEC - This level is also called the Enable level and can be secured by a password. Youcan perform tasks such as managing files on the flash module, saving the system configuration toflash, and clearing caches at this level.

• CONFIG - The configuration level. This level allows you to configure the system IP address andconfigure switching and routing features. To access the CONFIG mode, you must already be loggedin to the Privileged EXEC level.

You can set the following levels of Enable passwords:

• Super User - Allows complete read-and-write access to the system. This is generally for systemadministrators and is the only password level that allows you to configure passwords.

NOTEYou must set a Super User password before you can set other types of passwords.

• Port Configuration - Allows read-and-write access for specific ports but not for global (system-wide)parameters.

• Read-Only - Allows access to the Privileged EXEC mode and CONFIG mode but only with readaccess.

Assigning passwordsComplete the following steps to set passwords.

NOTEDepending on the device you purchased, and the code (Layer 2 or Layer 3) loaded on your system, therouter prompt is displayed accordingly. For example, for an ICX 6450-48P device running Layer 3 codeon the device, the router prompt displays ICX6450-48P Router> at the CLI level.

1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter the following command to change to the Privileged EXEC mode:

device> enable2. Access the config mode of the CLI by entering the following command:

device# configure terminal3. Enter the following command to set the Super User password:

device(config)# enable super-user-password joe

NOTEYou must set the Super User password before you can set other types of passwords.

4. Enter the following commands to set the port configuration and read-only passwords:

device(config)# enable port-config-password johndevice(config)# enable read-only-password sam

NOTEIf you forget your Super User password, refer to the Recovering from a lost password on page 68task.

Assigning passwords


Syntax: enable { super-user-password | read-only-password | port-config-password} text

Passwords can be up to 32 characters long.

Recovering from a lost passwordBy default, the CLI does not require passwords. However, if a password has been configured for thedevice but the password has been lost, you can regain Super User access to the device using thefollowing procedure.

NOTERecovery from a lost password requires direct access to the serial port and a system reset.

1. Start a CLI session over the serial interface to the Brocade device.2. Reboot the device.3. While the system is booting, before the initial system prompt appears, enter b to enter the boot

monitor mode.4. Enter no password. (You cannot abbreviate this command.)5. Enter boot. This command causes the device to bypass the system password check.

After the console prompt reappears, assign a new password.

Syntax: [no] password

Syntax: boot

IP address configurationYou must configure at least one IP address using the serial connection to the CLI before you canmanage the system using the other management interfaces.

Brocade devices support both classical IP network masks (Class A, B, and C subnet masks, and soon) and Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR) network prefix masks.

• To enter a classical IP network mask, enter the mask in IP address format. For example, enter"10.157.22.99 255.255.255.0" for an IP address with a Class C subnet mask.

• To enter a prefix number for a network mask, enter a forward slash (/) and the number of bits in themask immediately after the IP address. For example, enter "10.157.22.99/24" for an IP address thathas a network mask with 24 significant ("mask") bits.

By default, the CLI displays network masks in classical IP address format (for example,255.255.255.0). You can change the display to the prefix format. Refer to the FastIron Ethernet SwitchAdministration Guide.

Devices running Layer 2 software

NOTEThe ICX 6430 device supports only switch code. The ICX 6450 device supports both switch and routercode.

Use the following procedure to configure an IP address on a device running Layer 2 software.

Recovering from a lost password


1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable.

device> enable2. Enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level prompt, and then press Enter . This

command erases the factory test configuration if still present.

device# erase startup-config

CAUTIONUse the erase startup-config command only for new systems. If you enter this command on asystem you have already configured, the command erases the configuration. If youaccidentally do erase the configuration on a configured system, enter the write memorycommand to save the running configuration to the startup-config file.

3. Access the global configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command:

device# configure terminal device(config)#

4. Configure the IP address and mask for the device.

device(config)# ip address 10.22.3.44 255.255.255.05. Set a default gateway address for the device.

device(config)# ip default-gateway 10.22.3.1

NOTEYou do not need to assign a default gateway address for single subnet networks.

Syntax: [no] ip address { ip-addr ip-mask | ip-addr/mask-bits }

Syntax: [no] ip default-gateway ip-addr

Devices running Layer 3 softwareBefore attaching equipment to a Brocade ICX 6450 device, you must assign an interface IP address tothe subnet on which the router will be located. You must use the serial connection to assign the first IPaddress. For subsequent addresses, you also can use the CLI through Telnet.

By default, you can configure up to 24 IP interfaces on each port, virtual interface, and loopbackinterface. You can increase this amount to up to 64 IP subnet addresses per port by increasing the sizeof the subnet-per-interface table.

The following procedure shows how to add an IP address and mask to a router port.

1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable.

device> enable

2. Enter the following command at the CLI Privileged EXEC level prompt, and then press Enter . Thiscommand erases the factory test configuration if still present.

device# erase startup-config

CAUTIONUse the erase startup-config command only for new systems. If you enter this command on asystem you have already configured, the command erases the configuration. If youaccidentally do erase the configuration on a configured system, enter the write memorycommand to save the running configuration to the startup-config file.

Devices running Layer 3 software


3. Access the global configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command.

device# configure terminal Brocade(config)#

4. Configure the IP addresses and mask addresses for the interfaces on the router.

device(config)# interface ethernet 2device(config)# ip address 10.22.3.44 255.255.255.0

NOTEYou can use the ip address ip-addr/mask-bits command if you know the subnet mask length. In theexample in step 4, you could enter ip address 10.22.3.44/24.

Syntax: [no] ip address { ip-addr ip-mask [ secondary ] | ip-addr/mask-bits [ secondary ] }

Use the secondary parameter if you have already configured an IP address within the same subneton the interface.

Configuring IP parameters for devices running Layer 3 software

This section describes how to configure IP parameters for devices running Layer 3 software.

Configuring IP addresses

You can configure an IP address on the following types of Layer 3 interfaces:

• Ethernet port• Virtual routing interface (also called a Virtual Ethernet or "VE")• Loopback interface

By default, you can have up to 24 IP addresses on each interface, but you can increase this number to128 IP addresses.

NOTEOnce you configure a virtual routing interface on a VLAN, you cannot configure Layer 3 interfaceparameters on individual ports in the VLAN. Instead, you must configure the parameters on the virtualrouting interface itself.

Assigning an IP address to an Ethernet port

Enter the following commands to assign an IP address to port 1/1/1.

Brocade(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/1Brocade(config)# ip address 10.45.6.1 255.255.255.0You also can enter the IP address and mask in CIDR format, as follows:

Brocade># ip address 10.45.6.1/24Syntax: [no] ip address { ip-addr ip-mask | ip-addr/mask-bits }

Assigning an IP address to a loopback interface

Loopback interfaces are always up, regardless of the states of physical interfaces. They can addstability to the network because they are not subject to route flap problems that can occur due to

Configuring IP parameters for devices running Layer 3 software


unstable links between a Layer 3 device and other devices. You can configure up to four loopbackinterfaces on a Layer 3 device.

You can add up to 24 IP addresses to each loopback interface.

NOTEIf you configure the device to use a loopback interface to communicate with a BGP4 neighbor, you mustalso configure a loopback interface on the neighbor and configure the neighbor to use that loopbackinterface to communicate with the Brocade device.

To add a loopback interface, enter commands such as those shown in the following example:

Brocade(config)# exitBrocade(config)# interface loopback 1Brocade(config)# ip address 10.0.0.1/24Syntax: interface loopback num

The num parameter specifies the virtual interface number. You can specify from 1 through themaximum number of virtual interfaces supported on the device. To display the maximum number ofvirtual interfaces supported on the device, enter the show default values command.

Assigning an IP address to a virtual routing interface

A virtual interface is a logical port associated with a Layer 3 Virtual LAN (VLAN) configured on a Layer 3device. You can configure routing parameters on the virtual interface to enable the Layer 3 device toroute protocol traffic from one Layer 3 VLAN to the other, without using an external router.

NOTEThe device uses the lowest MAC address on the device (the MAC address of port 1 or 1/1/1) as theMAC address for all ports within all virtual interfaces you configure on the device.

Enter commands similar to the following to add a virtual interface to a VLAN and configure an IPaddress on the interface.

Brocade(config)# vlan 2 name IP-Subnet_10.1.2.1/24Brocade(config-vlan-2)# untag 1/1/1 to 1/1/4Brocade(config-vlan-2)# router-interface ve1Brocade(config-vlan-2)# interface ve1Brocade(config-vif-1)# ip address 10.1.2.1/24The first two commands in this example create a Layer 3 protocol-based VLAN named "IP-Subnet_10.1.2.1/24" and add a range of untagged ports to the VLAN. The router-interface commandcreates virtual interface 1 as the routing interface for the VLAN. The last two commands change to theinterface configuration level for the virtual interface and assign an IP address to the interface.

Deleting an IP address

Enter a command similar to the following to delete an IP address.

Brocade(config-if-1/1/1)# no ip address 10.1.2.1This command deletes IP address 10.1.2.1. You do not need to enter the subnet mask.

Deleting an IP address


To delete all IP addresses from an interface, enter the following command.

Brocade(config-if-1/1/1)# no ip address *Syntax: [no] ip address { ip-addr | * }

Connecting network devicesBrocade devices support connections to other vendors’ routers, switches, and hubs, as well otherBrocade devices.

ConnectorsFor port pinouts, refer to Pinouts and signalling on page 95.

Cable specificationsFor information about supported transceivers and cable lengths and types, refer to the followingBrocade websites at:


Connecting to Ethernet or Fast Ethernet hubsFor copper connections to Ethernet hubs, a 10/100Base-TX or 1000Base-T switch, or anotherBrocade device, a crossover cable is required (see the figures below). If the hub is equipped with anuplink port, it requires a straight-through cable instead of a crossover cable.

NOTEThe 802.3ab standard (automatic MDI or MDIX detection) calls for automatic negotiation of theconnection between two 1000Base-T ports. In this case, a straight-through cable may work just as wellas a crossover cable. For more information about this feature, refer to the FastIron Ethernet SwitchSecurity Configuration Guide.

Connecting network devices




FIGURE 51 UTP crossover cable

FIGURE 52 Straight-through cable

Connecting to workstations, servers, or routersStraight-through UTP cabling is required for direct UTP attachment to workstations, servers, or routersusing network interface cards (NICs).

Fiber cabling is required for direct attachment to Gigabit NICs or switches and routers through fiberports. Refer to Connecting a network device to a fiber port on page 74.

Automatic MDI or MDIX detection

All 10/100 and 1000 Mbps Ethernet copper ports on the devices support automatic Media DependentInterface (MDI) and Media Dependent Interface Crossover (MDIX) detection. This feature is enabled onall 10/100 and Mbps copper ports by default. For each port, you can disable auto-MDI or MDIX,designate the port as an MDI port, or designate the port as an MDIX port.

Connecting to workstations, servers, or routers


For more information about this feature and how to configure it, refer to the FastIron Ethernet SwitchSecurity Configuration Guide.

Connecting a network device to a fiber portFor direct attachment from the device to a Gigabit NIC, switch, or router, using a fiber-optictransceiver, you need fiber cabling with an LC connector.

To connect the device to another network device using a fiber port, you must perform the followingtasks:

• Install a fiber-optic transceiver (SFP or SFP+).• Cable the fiber-optic transceiver.

For instructions on installing fiber-optic transceivers, refer to Installing a new copper or fiber-optictransceiver on page 84.

For instructions on cabling a fiber-optic transceiver, refer to Cabling a fiber-optic transceiver on page85.

For instructions on cleaning a fiber-optic module, refer to Cleaning the fiber-optic connectors on page86.

Troubleshooting network connections• For the indicated port, verify that both ends of the cabling (at the device and the connected device)

are snug.• Verify that the device and the connected device are both powered on and operating correctly.• Verify that you have used the correct cable type for the connection:

‐ For twisted-pair connections to an end node, use straight-through cabling.‐ For fiber-optic connections, verify that the transmit port on the device is connected to the

receive port on the connected device, and that the receive port on the device is connectedto the transmit port on the connected device.

• Use the CLI to verify that the port has not been disabled through a configuration change. If youhave configured an IP address on the device, you also can use Brocade Network Advisor.

• If the other procedures do not resolve the problem, try using a different port or a different cable.• If a 1-Gbps optic transceiver is inserted into a ICX 6450 device, you must configure the port using

the speed-duplex 1000-full-master command at the interface level.

Digital optical monitoring

NOTE10 Gbps optical transceivers are not supported on ICX 6430 devices.

You can configure your device to monitor optical transceivers in the system, either globally or byspecified port. When this feature is enabled, the system monitors the temperature and signal powerlevels for the optical transceivers in the specified ports. Console messages and syslog messages aresent when optical operating conditions fall below or rise above the SFP and SFP+ manufacturer’srecommended thresholds. For more information about digital optical monitoring, refer to the FastIronEthernet Switch Security Configuration Guide.

Managing temperature settingsThe device contains temperature sensors that the software reads based on a configurable device polltime. Except for the ICX 6430-24 model, the device has two automatic speed fan control settings basedon the temperature. To protect the device from overheating, the following temperature threshold levelsexist:

• The warning level is the temperature at which the device generates a syslog message. It isconfigurable up to 83°C.

• The shutdown level is the temperature at which the device reboots. It is set by the device and is notconfigurable. When the device temperature reaches the shutdown level, it generates a warningmessage that the device’s temperature is over the shutdown level and the device will shut down infive minutes. The system restarts five minutes after the device reaches the temperature shutdownlevel.

Changing the temperature warning levelTo change the temperature at which the device sends a syslog message and an SNMP trap, enter acommand similar to the following at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI.

Brocade# temperature warning 1 82Syntax: temperature warning stack-idvalue

The stack-id can be a value from 1 through 8.

The value variable is the temperature warning level, in Celsius. You cannot set this level higher than83°C . The temperature warning level must be at least five degrees Celsius less than the temperatureshutdown level, which is automatically set by the device.

The following console and syslog message is displayed when the temperature reaches the warninglevel:

!!! Temperature is over warning level on stack unit 1!!!

Temperature shutdown levelsWhen the temperature crosses the critical (shutdown) threshold levels, the device will reset after 5minutes. The following console and syslog message is displayed:

!!! Temperature is over shutdown level, please shutdown your stack unit 1 to avoid hw damage!!!

NOTEBrocade recommends that you shut down your stack unit to avoid any hardware damage.

Changing the temperature warning level


Changing the temperature poll timeBy default, the software polls the temperature sensor every 60 seconds to get the current temperature.This poll rate is controlled by the device poll time, which also controls how often the software pollsother system components.

To change the poll time, enter a command similar to the following at the global CONFIG level.

Brocade(config)# chassis poll-time 200Syntax: chassis poll-time value

The value variable can be from 0 through 65535 seconds.

Displaying CPU usage

You can display the amount of the CPU in use. To do so, enter the show cpu command at any levelof the CLI.

Brocade# show cpu20 percent busy, from 318 sec ago1 sec avg: 2 percent busy5 sec avg: 1 percent busy60 sec avg: 1 percent busy300 sec avg: 1 percent busySyntax: show cpu

Removing MAC address entries

You can remove the following types of learned MAC address entries from the system MAC addresstable:

• All MAC address entries• All MAC address entries for a specified Ethernet port• All MAC address entries for a specified VLAN• A specified MAC address entry in all VLANs

For example, to remove entries for the MAC address 00-00-00 in all VLANs, enter the followingcommand at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI.

Brocade# clear mac-address 00-00-00Syntax: clear mac-address [ mac-address | ethernet port-num | vlan number ]

If you enter the clear mac-address command without any parameters, the software removes all MACentries.

Use the mac-address variable to remove a specified MAC address from all VLANs. Specify the MACaddress in the following format: HHHH.HHHH.HHHH.

Use the ethernet port-num parameter to remove all MAC addresses for a specified Ethernet port.

Use the vlan number parameter to remove all MAC addresses for a specified VLAN.

Hardware Maintenance and Replacement

● Hardware maintenance schedule....................................................................................83● Copper or fiber-optic module replacement......................................................................83

Hardware maintenance schedule


The ICX 6430 and ICX 6450 devices require minimal maintenance for their hardware components.However, Brocade recommends cleaning the fiber-optic connectors on a fiber-optic port and theconnected fiber cable each time you disconnect the cable.

Copper or fiber-optic module replacementYou can replace the copper and fiber-optic modules (SFP transceivers). You can remove an SFPtransceiver from a slot and replace it with a new one while the ICX 6430 or ICX 6450 device is poweredon and running.

Removing a copper or fiber-optic moduleYou can remove a copper or fiber SFP transceiver from a slot while the ICX 6430 or ICX 6450 device ispowered on and running.

While removing a copper or fiber-optic module, be sure to wear an ESD wrist strap with a plug that canbe inserted in the ESD connector on the ICX 6430 or ICX 6450 device.

DANGERFor safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.

To remove a copper or fiber-optic module from an SFP slot, do the following.

1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface (such asan equipment rack).

2. Disconnect the copper or fiber cable connector from the port connector.3. Unlock the copper or fiber-optic module by pulling the bail latch forward, away from the front panel of

the module. This unlocks the module from the front panel.

NOTEOn 1000Base-SX ports, the bail latch is enclosed in a black sleeve, and on 1000Base-LX ports, thebail latch is enclosed in a blue sleeve.


FIGURE 53 Unlocking the bail latch

1. Bail latch

NOTEThe bail latch may be attached to either the top or the bottom of the SFP transceiver.

4. Grasp the bail latch and pull the copper or fiber-optic module out of the port.

FIGURE 54 Removing the fiber-optic module

5. Store the copper or fiber-optic module in a safe, static-free place or in an anti-static bag.6. Install a new copper or fiber-optic module in the port.

Installing a new copper or fiber-optic transceiverYou can install a new fiber-optic transceiver in an SFP or SFP+ slot while the device is powered onand running.

While installing a transceiver, wear an ESD wrist strap with a plug that can be inserted in the ESDconnector on the ICX 6430 or ICX 6450 device.

NOTEIf the E1MG-TX SFP transceiver is inserted into the ICX 6450 device, the link may go down on thefiber ports. This is seen during bootup or speed change from 10-Gbps to 1-Gbps port speed. Theworkaround is to disable the port and then re-enable the port through the CLI, or unplug and plug inthe cable.

Installing a new copper or fiber-optic transceiver




Perform the following steps to install a fiber-optic transceiver.

1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface (such asan equipment rack) to act as ground.

2. Remove the new transceiver from the protective packaging.3. Gently insert the transceiver into the slot until it clicks into place. Transceivers are keyed to prevent

incorrect insertion.

FIGURE 55 Installing a transceiver

1. Transceiver

Cabling a fiber-optic transceiverPerform the following steps to cable a fiber-optic transceiver.

1. Remove the protective covering from the fiber-optic port connectors and store the covering for futureuse.

Cabling a fiber-optic transceiver


NOTEBefore cabling a fiber-optic transceiver, Brocade strongly recommends cleaning the cableconnectors and the port connectors.

2. Gently insert the cable connector (a tab on each connector should face upward) into the transceiverconnector until the tabs lock into place.

3. Observe the link and active LEDs to determine if the network connections are functioning properly.For more information about the LED indicators, refer to Observing LEDs on page 75.

Cleaning the fiber-optic connectorsTo avoid problems with the connection between the fiber-optic transceiver (SFP, SFP+, or mini-GBIC)and the fiber cable connectors, Brocade strongly recommends cleaning both connectors each timeyou disconnect and reconnect them. Dust can accumulate in the connectors and cause problems,such as reducing the optic launch power.

To clean the fiber cable connectors, Brocade recommends using a fiber-optic reel-type cleaner. Whennot using an SFP connector, make sure to keep the protective covering in place.

Diagnosing switch indicatorsTroubleshooting chart TABLE 26

Symptom Action

Power LED is Off • Check if internal power supply is disconnected.• Check connections between the device, the power cord, and the wall outlet.• Contact Technical Support.

Power LED is Amber Internal power supply has failed. Contact Technical Support.

Diag LED is Amber • The device self test has detected a fault.• Power cycle the device to try and clear the condition. If the condition persists, contact

Technical Support.

Link LED is Off • Verify that the device and attached device are powered on.• Be sure the cable is plugged into both the device and the corresponding device.• Verify that the proper cable type is used and its length does not exceed specified limits.• Check the adapter on the attached device and cable connections for possible defects.

Replace the defective adapter or cable if necessary.

InstallationVerify that all system components have been properly installed. If one or more components appear tobe malfunctioning (such as the power cord or network cabling), test them in an alternate environmentwhere you are sure that all the other components are functioning properly.

Power and cooling problemsIf the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a problem withthe power outlet, power cord, or internal power supply. However, if the unit powers off after running for awhile, check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at the power outlet, and use theshow chassis command to verify that the temperature is below the shutdown threshold. If you stillcannot isolate the problem, then the internal power supply may be defective. In this case, contactTechnical Support for assistance.


In-band accessYou can access the management agent in the device from anywhere within the attached networkusing Telnet, or other network management software. However, you must first configure the devicewith a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. If you have trouble establishing a link tothe management agent, check to see if you have a valid network connection. Then verify that youentered the correct IP address. Also, be sure the port through which you are connecting to the devicehas not been disabled. If it has not been disabled, then check the network cabling that runs betweenyour remote location and the device.

Virtual cable testingMost FastIron devices support Virtual Cable Test (VCT) technology. VCT technology enables thediagnosis of a conductor (wire or cable) by sending a pulsed signal into the conductor, then examiningthe reflection of that pulse. This method of cable analysis is referred to as Time Domain Reflectometry(TDR). By examining the reflection, the Brocade device can detect and report cable statistics such aslocal and remote link pair, cable length, and link status.

Virtual Cable Testing configuration notes• VCT is supported on copper ports only. It is not supported on fiber ports.• VCT is only supported when Ethernet port speed is configured to Auto. VCT does not work on ports

with fixed speeds.• VCT is not supported on the SX-FI48GPP module running FastIron software release 07.2.02 or

later.• VCT is not supported on these FastIron devices: ICX 6610-24F, SX-FI2XG, SX-FI8XG, SX-FI24HF,

SX-FI24GPP, and SX-F!48GPP modules running FastIron software release 07.3.00 or later.• The port to which the cable is connected must be enabled when you issue the command to

diagnose the cable. If the port is disabled, the command is rejected.• If the port is operating at 100 Mbps half-duplex, the TDR test on one pair will fail.• If the remote pair is set to forced 100 Mbps, any change in MDI/MDIX may cause the device to

interpret the Multilevel Threshold-3 (MLT-3) as a reflected pulse, in which case, the device willreport a faulty condition. In this scenario, it is recommended that you run the TDR test a few times,clearing the registers before each test, for accurate results.

Virtual Cable Test command syntaxTo diagnose a cable using TDR, enter commands such as the following at the Privileged EXEC levelof the CLI.

device# phy cable-diagnostics tdr 1/1/1The clear-diag tdr command clears results of any previous TDR test from test registers for port 1/1/1(port 1 on slot 1 on device 1).

NOTEIt is recommended that you clear the TDR test registers before each test.

device# clear cable-diagnostics tdr 1/1/1

In-band access


The command in the previous example diagnoses the cable attached to port 1/1/1.

When you issue the phy cable-diagnostics command, the command brings the port down for a secondor two, and then immediately brings the port back up.

Syntax: clear cable-diagnostics tdr stackid/slot/port

Syntax: phy cable-diagnostics tdr stackid/slot/port

Viewing the results of the cable analysisTo display the results of the cable analysis, enter a command such as the one shown in the followingexamples at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI.

In the first example, the command displays TDR test results for port 1, slot 1 on device 1 in the stack.The results indicate that the port is down or the cable is not connected.
