Creating IP interfaces and routes
3
The following example shows two routes being added to an interface:
switch:admin06> portcfg iproute 8/ge0 create 192.168.11.0 255.255.255.0
192.168.100.1 1
switch:admin06> portcfg iproute 8/ge0 create 192.168.12.0 255.255.255.0
192.168.100.1 1
The following example verifies that the two routes have been successfully created:
switch:admin06> portshow iproute 8/ge0
Slot: 8 Port: ge0
IP Address Mask Gateway Metric Flags
------------------------------------------------------------------
192.168.100.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.100.40 0 Interface
192.168.100.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.100.41 0 Interface
192.168.11.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.100.1 1
192.168.12.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.100.1 1
3. If you are implementing VLAN tagging, create a static ARP entry for the IP interfaces on both
ends of the tunnel, using the portCfg arp command with the add option. The command syntax
is as follows.
portCfg arp [slot/]ge0|ge1 add ipaddr macaddr
You can obtain the MAC address (macaddr) by using the portShow arp command with the
-lmac option.
4. Verify IP connectivity by entering the portCmd
--ping command to test the connection to a
destination IP address from a source IP address on one of the local Ethernet ports (Ge0 or
Ge1). This verification also ensures that data packets can be sent to the remote interface. You
can test a connection only if both ports have IP interfaces set. The command syntax is as
follows.
portCmd --ping [slot/]ge0|ge1 [-s source_ip] [-d dest_ip] [-c L2 class-of-service]
[-n num-requests] [-q type-of-service] [-t ttl] [-v vlan tag] [-w wait-time] [-z size]
where:
slot The number of a slot in a 48000 and Brocade DCX or DCX-4S platforms that
contains an FC4-18i blade. This parameter does not apply to the stand-alone
Brocade 7500 Extension Switch.
ge0|ge1 The Ethernet port used by the tunnel (ge0 or ge1)
-s source_ip The source IP interface that originates the ping request.
-d destination_ip
The destination IP address for the ping request.
-c class-of-service
The Layer 2 class of service (L2CoS).
-n num-requests
The number of ping requests to make. The default is 4.
