Product Overview
Introduction
Network planners today have to expand and extend the range of services offered further into the
edge of the network. This requires extending the intelligence and high-touch processing capabilities
to the network edge— whether in a metro network, a campus network or in a data center. The
challenge at the edge of the network is compounded by the need to flexibly define and easily
manage customer services in an intuitive manner. Further, of many rollouts. Whether deployed
from a central office or from remote huts, space is an important constraint for such providers.
In order to meet these challenges, the NetIron Carrier Ethernet Switch (CES) 2000 Series and NetIron Carrier Ethernet Router (CER) 2000 Series were purpose-built to offer flexible, secure and
advanced processing capabilities in a compact form factor. The Brocade NetIron CES 2000 Series
2000 and NetIron CER 2000 Series 2000 Series are compact 1 RU, multi-service edge or
aggregation devices with a powerful set of capabilities chosen to combine performance with rich
functionality at the edge of the network. The Brocade NetIron CES 2000 Series 2000 Series and
NetIron CER 2000 Series 2000 Series devices offer network planners a rich set of
high-performance IPv4, Classic Layer 2, Provider Bridge (PB) and Provider Backbone Bridge (PBB)
functionalities in the same device. With these capabilities, a diverse set of applications ranging
from metro edge networks, ISPs, data centers, large enterprises, government networks, and
education or research can be addressed with the Brocade NetIron CES 2000 Series 2000 Series
and NetIron CER 2000 Series 2000 Series.

Network interfaces
This section describes the port types in the Brocade NetIron CES 2000 Series, NetIron CER 2000
Series 2000 series devices.
10/100/1000 Mbps ports
The 10/100/1000 ports on the device use auto-sensing and auto-negotiating to determine the
speed (10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps) and duplex mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of the port
at the other end of the link and adjust port speed accordingly.
Combination ports
On devices with combination (combo) ports, one port out of each pair of copper and fiber ports can
be active at a time. Combo ports are numbered 1-4. For example, you can use either copper port 2
or fiber port 2, but not both at the same time. You can use a combination of fiber and copper ports
or all copper or all fiber ports, as needed.
If you attach both the copper and fiber connectors for a port to the network, the fiber connectors
take precedence over the copper connectors. These ports support true media automatic detection,
meaning the device selects the fiber or copper connector based on link availability. If a fiber link
cannot be established, the device selects the copper media.

Ports on the devices are grouped into regions. For a few features, such as port monitoring and
unknown unicast configurations, you will need to know the region to which a port belongs. However,
for most features, a port’s region does not affect configuration or operation of the feature. If a
port’s region does affect configuration or operation of a feature, it is noted and described in the
appropriate feature section of this guide.

Power supplies
Each device comes with one alternating-current (AC) or one direct-current (DC) power supply. All
models have two power supply slots, enabling you to install a second power supply for redundancy.
Changes or modifications made to this device that are not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
The power supplies can be swapped in or out of the device while the device is running. You can
remove and insert a power supply without opening the chassis. The remaining supply provides
enough power for the entire system.
The following sections provide further details about the power supplies for the devices:
• Power status LEDs are listed in “Observing the power status LEDs” on page 47.
• Hardware specifications for the power supplies are listed in “Hardware specifications” on
page 59.
• “About redundant power supplies and power supply failure” on page 22

About redundant power supplies and power supply failure
A device with redundant power supplies can maintain full operation when one power supply fails.
Power supply failure can be a failure of the supply itself or the power grid connected to the power
supply.
Cooling system and fans
This section describes the fans in the devices with 6 fans.
Figure 35 shows the cooling fans.
FIGURE 35Cooling Fans

Hardware features
The fans in the devices include six four-speed fans that operate at low speed, medium speed,
medium-high speed, and high speed based on the ambient temperature and configured or default
temperature thresholds. All fans operate simultaneously at the same speed. If a single fan fails
within the assembly, the fan tray should be replaced. The fan tray is hot swappable and the mean
time to recover (MTTR) is one minute.
The system uses a default or configured temperature threshold associated with it to determine at
which speed the fan should operate.

Connecting to a Network Device
Password assignment
The procedures in this manual are for qualified service personnel.
By default, the device’s CLI is not protected by passwords. To secure CLI access, Brocade strongly
recommends assigning passwords. (For additional information on security, refer to Foundry Security Guide.)
The CLI contains the following access levels:
• Privileged EXEC – This level is also called the Enable level and can be secured by a password.
You can perform tasks such as manage files on the management module’s flash memory or a
PCMCIA flash card in the management module’s slots 1 or 2, save the system configuration to
flash memory, and clear caches at this level.
• CONFIG – The configuration level. This level lets you configure the system’s IP address and
configure routing features. To access the CONFIG mode, you must already be logged into the
Privileged level of the EXEC mode.
2
You can assign passwords using the Brocade Network Advisor if an Enable password for a Super
User is already configured on the device.
You can set the following levels of Enable passwords:
• Super User – Allows complete read-and-write access to the system. This is generally for system
administrators and is the only password level that allows you to configure passwords.
You 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 read
access.
Follow the steps given below to set passwords.
1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter the following command to change to the Privileged level of the
EXEC mode.
Brocade> enable
Brocade#
2. Access the CONFIG level of the CLI by entering the following command.

Passwords can be up to 48 characters long.
IP address configuration
The devices implement separate data and control planes. This architecture affects how you assign
IP addresses. Table 7 outlines the interfaces to which you can assign IP addresses.
In this table, “in band” refers to an interface over which user packets are routed, while “out of
band” refers to an interface over which control packets related to system management are
forwarded.

This section describes the following:
• Support of sub-net masks
• How to assign an IP address to a management interface
• How to assign an IP address to an interface or virtual interface over which user packets are
routed
Support of sub-net masks
The devices support both classical IP network masks (Class A, B, and C sub-net masks, and so on)
and Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR) network prefix masks.

Page 37
IP address configuration
CAUTION
The following sub-net masks are supported by the devices:
2
• To enter a classical network mask, enter the mask in IP address format. For example, enter
“209.157.22.99 255.255.255.0” for an IP address with a Class-C sub-net mask.
• To enter a prefix number for a network mask, enter a forward slash (/) and the number of bits
in the mask immediately after the IP address. For example, enter “209.157.22.99/24” for an
IP address that has a network mask with 24 significant (“mask”) bits.
Assigning an IP address to a management interface
Instead of assigning a global IP address to the device for system management purposes, you now
assign an IP address to the management interface. The IP address is assigned to the active
management module port. If the active management module becomes unavailable and the
redundant module becomes the active module, the IP address is assigned to the new active
management module port.
For example, to assign the IP address 10.0.1.1 to the management interface, do the following.
1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable.
Brocade> enable
2. Enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level prompt (for example, Brocade#),
then press Enter. This command erases the factory test configuration if still present.
Brocade# erase startup-config
Use the erase startup-config command only for new systems. If you enter this command on a
system you have already configured, the command erases the configuration. If you accidentally
erase the configuration on a configured system, enter the write memory command to save the
running configuration to the startup-config file.
3. Access the configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command.
Brocade# configure terminal
Brocade(config)#
4. Configure the IP address and mask for the management interface by entering the following
commands.
Brocade(config)# interface management 1
Brocade(config-if-mgmt-1)# ip address 10.0.1.1 255.255.255.0

Assigning an IP address to an interface, virtual
interface, or loopback
As you have done with other devices, you must assign an IP address to each interface and virtual
interface over which user packets are routed. You can also assign an IP address to a loopback
interface, which is generally used for testing and diagnostic purposes.
You must use the serial connection to assign the first IP address. For subsequent addresses, you
also can use the CLI through Telnet. You can use Brocade Network Advisor to assign IP addresses
to virtual routing interfaces only.
By default, you can configure up to 24 IP interfaces on each interface, virtual interface, and
loopback interface.
For example, to assign the IP address 192.22.3.44 and sub-net mask 255.255.255.0 to Ethernet
interface 1/1, do the following.
1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable.
Brocade> enable
2. Enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level prompt, then press Enter. This
command erases the factory test configuration if still present.
Brocade# erase startup-config
Use the erase startup-config command only for new systems. If you enter this command on a
system you have already configured, the command erases the configuration. If you accidentally

The device may throw a warning that the startup-config cannot be found. This warning can be
ignored.
Once the device has finished reloading, it will be reset to "factory" settings.
4. Configure the device.
Management port function overview
You must be aware of how the system’s management port functions as described in the following:
• The management port allows you to configure, monitor, and manage the system only. As a
result, this port has the same limited functionality as an IP host port.
• You cannot enable and run routing protocols on the management port.
• The management port supports static routes and directly connected routes, which are
installed in the management module’s routing table. However, these routes are not installed in
the interface module’s routing table. Therefore, the interface modules are not aware of the
management port’s static or directly connected routes.
• If you configure the redistribution of directly connected or static routes for a particular routing
protocol, the routing protocol will redistribute directly connected or static routes associated
with the interface module ports but not those associated with the management port.
To display configuration information and statistics about the management port, you can enter the
show interface management 1 command at any CLI level.
Device connection
You can connect a Brocade device to another Ethernet network device. The Brocade devices
support connections to other vendors’ as well as Brocade network devices.
To connect a Brocade device to another network device, you must do the following:
• Install the fiber-optic modules if required
• Cable the modules with either copper cable or fiber optic cable as required
For information on installing fiber-optic modules see “Installing a new Copper or fiber optic module”
on page 83.
For information on cabling a fiber-optic module, see “Cabling a fiber optic module” on page 84.

Power precautions
Use a separate branch circuit for each AC power cord, which provides redundancy in case one of
the circuits fails.
Ensure that the device does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection.
To determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add the ampere (amp) ratings of all
devices installed on the same circuit as the device. Compare this total with the rating limit for the
circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the devices near the input power
connectors.
Make sure you insert the power supply right-side up. It is possible to insert the supply upside
down, although the supply will not engage with the power backplane when upside down. The
power supply is right-side up when the manufacturer label is on the top.
Remove the power cord from a power supply before you install it in or remove it from the device.
Otherwise, the power supply or the device could be damaged as a result. (The device can be
running while a power supply is being installed or removed, but the power supply itself should not
be connected to a power source.)

The software regularly polls the hardware for power status information. You can display the status
NOTE
information from any management session. In addition, the software automatically generates a
Syslog message and SNMP trap if a status change occurs.
PC or terminal attachment
To assign an IP address, you must have access to the Command Line Interface (CLI). The CLI is a
text-based interface that can be accessed through a direct serial connection to the device and
through Telnet connections.
You need to assign an IP address using the CLI. 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.
Attaching a PC or terminal
Follow the steps given below to attach a management station using the serial port.
1. Connect a PC or terminal to the serial port of the system using a straight-through cable. The
serial port has a male DB-9 connector.
PC or terminal attachment
3
You need to run a terminal emulation program on the PC.
2. Open the terminal emulation program and set the session parameters as follows:
• Baud: 9600 bps
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: None
When you establish the serial connection to the system, press Enter to display the CLI prompt in the
terminal emulation window. For example:
Brocade>
If you see this of these prompt, you are now connected to the system and can proceed to
“Password assignment” on page 25.
You can customize the prompt by changing the system name. For more information, refer to the
Brocade MLX Series and NetIron Family Configuration Guide.
If you do not see one of these prompts, follow the instructions given below.
1. Make sure the cable is securely connected to your PC and to the system.
2. Check the settings in your terminal emulation program. In addition to the session settings
listed above, make sure the terminal emulation session is running on the same serial port you
attached to the system.
The EIA/TIA 232 serial communication port serves as a connection point for management by a PC
or SNMP workstation.

Device Management Applications Familiarization
Management application overview
This chapter describes the different applications you can use to manage the devices. The Brocade
devices support the same management applications as other devices.
As with other devices, you can manage a device using any of the following applications:
• Command Line Interface (CLI) – a text-based interface accessible directly from a PC or terminal
attached to the device’s serial (Console) port or 10BaseT/100BaseTX Ethernet (management)
port, or from a Telnet connection to the PC or terminal.
• Brocade Network Advisor – An optional SNMP-based standalone GUI application. For more
information see the Unified IP MIB reference manual.
The following section describes how to log on to these applications.
CLI Functionality
4
Once an IP address is assigned to the Brocade device’s management port, you can access the CLI
through a PC or terminal attached to the device’s serial (Console) port or 10BaseT/100BaseTX
Ethernet (management) port, or from a Telnet or SSH connection to the PC or terminal.
You can initiate a local Telnet, SSH or SNMP connection by specifying the management port’s IP
address.
The commands in the CLI are organized into the following levels:
• User EXEC – Lets you display information and perform basic tasks such as pings and
traceroutes.
• Privileged EXEC – Lets you use the same commands as those at the User EXEC level plus
configuration commands that do not require saving the changes to the system-config file.
• CONFIG – Lets you make configuration changes to the device. To save the changes across
software reloads and system resets, you need to save them to the system-config file. The
CONFIG level contains sub-levels for individual ports, for VLANs, for routing protocols, and other
configuration areas.
By default, any user who can open a direct or Telnet connection to a Brocade device can access all
these CLI levels. To secure access, you can configure Enable passwords or local user accounts, or
you can configure the device to use a RADIUS or TACACS/TACACS+ server for authentication.

Online help
To display a list of available commands or command options, enter “?” or press Tab. If you have not
entered part of a command at the command prompt, all the commands supported at the current
CLI level are listed. If you enter part of a command, then enter “?” or press Tab, the CLI lists the
options you can enter at this point in the command string.
If you enter an invalid command followed by ?, a message appears indicating the command was
unrecognized. For example.
Brocade(config)# rooter ip?
Unrecognized command
Command completion
The CLI supports command completion, so you do not need to enter the entire name of a command
or option. As long as you enter enough characters of the command or option name to avoid
ambiguity with other commands or options, the CLI understands what you are typing.
Scroll control
By default, the CLI uses a page mode to paginate displays that are longer than the number of rows
in your terminal emulation window. For example, if you display a list of all the commands at the
global CONFIG level but your terminal emulation window does not have enough rows to display
them all at once, the page mode stops the display and lists your choices for continuing the display.
Here is an example.
aaa

banner
base-mac-addr
boot
some lines omitted for brevity...
default-vlan-id

enable-acl-counter
end
exit
--More--, next page: Space, next line: Return key, quit: Control-c
The software provides the following scrolling options:
• Press the Space bar to display the next page (one screen at time).
• Press the Return or Enter key to display the next line (one line at a time).
• Press Ctrl-C cancel the display.
Line editing commands
The CLI supports the following line editing commands. To enter a line-editing command, use the
CTRL-key combination for the command by pressing and holding the CTRL key, then pressing the
letter associated with the command.

For a complete list of CLI commands and syntax information for each command, refer to Brocade MLX Series and Brocade NetIron Family Configuration Guide .
Searching and filtering output from CLI commands
You can filter CLI output from show commands and at the --More-- prompt. You can search for
individual characters, strings, or construct complex regular expressions to filter the output.
Searching and filtering output from show commands
You can filter output from show commands to display lines containing a specified string, lines that
do not contain a specified string, or output starting with a line containing a specified string. The
search string is a regular expression consisting of a single character or string of characters. You can
use special characters to construct complex regular expressions. Refer to “Using special characters
in regular expressions” on page 56 for information on special characters used with regular
expressions.
Displaying lines containing a specified string
The following command filters the output of the show interface command for port 3/1 so it displays
only lines containing the word “Internet”. This command can be used to display the IP address of
the interface.
Brocade# show interface e 3/1 | include Internet
Internet address is 192.168.1.11/24, MTU 1518 bytes, encapsulation ethernet

The vertical bar (|) is part of the command.
Note that the regular expression specified as the search string is case sensitive. In the example
above, a search string of “Internet” would match the line containing the IP address, but a search
string of “internet” would not.
Displaying lines that do not contain a specified string
The following command filters the output of the show who command so it displays only lines that
do not contain the word “closed”. This command can be used to display open connections to a
Brocade device.
Syntax: show-command | exclude regular-expression
Displaying lines starting with a specified string
The following command filters the output of the show who command so it displays output starting
with the first line that contains the word “SSH”. This command can be used to display information
about SSH connections to the Brocade device.
Syntax: show-command | begin regular-expression
Searching and filtering output at the --More-- prompt
The --More-- prompt displays when output extends beyond a single page. From this prompt, you
can press the Space bar to display the next page, the Return or Enter key to display the next line, or
Ctrl-C to cancel the display. In addition, you can search and filter output from this prompt. For
example.

The filtered results are displayed.
As with the commands for filtering output from show commands, the search string is a regular
expression consisting of a single character or string of characters. You can use special characters
to construct complex regular expressions. See the next section for information on special
characters used with regular expressions.
Using special characters in regular expressions
You use a regular expression to specify a single character or multiple characters as a search string.
In addition, you can include special characters that influence the way the software matches the
output against the search string. These special characters are listed in the following table.
TABLE 12Special characters for regular expressions
CharacterOperation
.The period matches on any single character, including a blank space.
For example, the following regular expression matches “aaz”, “abz”, “acz”, and so on, but not just
“az”:
a.z
*The asterisk matches on zero or more sequential instances of a pattern.
For example, the following regular expression matches output that contains the string “abc”,
followed by zero or more Xs:
abcX*
+The plus sign matches on one or more sequential instances of a pattern.
For example, the following regular expression matches output that contains "de", followed by a
sequence of “g”s, such as “deg”, “degg”, “deggg”, and so on:
deg+
?The question mark matches on zero occurrences or one occurrence of a pattern.
For example, the following regular expression matches output that contains "dg" or "deg":
de?g
NOTE: Normally when you type a question mark, the CLI lists the commands or options at that CLI
level that begin with the character or string you entered. However, if you enter Ctrl-V and then
type a question mark, the question mark is inserted into the command line, allowing you to
use it as part of a regular expression.
^A caret (when not used within brackets) matches on the beginning of an input string.
For example, the following regular expression matches output that begins with “deg”:
^deg

53-1003029-02
Page 67
TABLE 12Special characters for regular expressions (Continued)
CharacterOperation
$A dollar sign matches on the end of an input string.
For example, the following regular expression matches output that ends with “deg”:
deg$
_An underscore matches on one or more of the following:
• , (comma)
• { (left curly brace)
• } (right curly brace)
• ( (left parenthesis)
• ) (right parenthesis)
• The beginning of the input string
• The end of the input string
• A blank space
For example, the following regular expression matches on “100” but not on “1002”, “2100”, and so
on:
_100_
[ ]Square brackets enclose a range of single-character patterns.
For example, the following regular expression matches output that contains “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, or “5”:
[1-5]
You can use the following expression symbols within the brackets. These symbols are allowed only
inside the brackets.
• ^ – The caret matches on any characters except the ones in the brackets. For example, the
following regular expression matches output that does not contain “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, or “5”:
CLI Functionality
4
[^1-5]
• - The hyphen separates the beginning and ending of a range of characters. A match occurs if
any of the characters within the range is present. See the example above.
|A vertical bar separates two alternative values or sets of values. The output can match one or the
other value.
For example, the following regular expression matches output that contains either “abc” or “defg”:
abc|defg
( )Parentheses allow you to create complex expressions.
For example, the following complex expression matches on “abc”, “abcabc”, or “defg”, but not on
“abcdefgdefg”:
((abc)+)|((defg)?)
If you want to filter for a special character instead of using the special character as described in the
table above, enter “\” (backslash) in front of the character.

ports as described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4) and require isolation from the exposed OSP
cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these
interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.

Tunable 10 GbE DWDM SFP+
Tunable 10 GbE DWDM SFP+ are only supported on NetIron CES and NetIron CER 4x10G models
only.
The tunable 10 GbE dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) SFP+ modular optic (part
number 10G-SFPP-ZRD-T) can be configured through the CLI to use C-band channels 1 - 102 for
flexible metro or campus Ethernet links that reach up to 80 km.
For 10-Gigabit Ethernet DWDM interfaces only, configure full C-band tunable optics as shown
below.
To configure a physical port, enter a command such as the following.
Use the channel number parameter to specify the channel number to use on the interface.
Possible values 0 through 102.
Use the show options to display the SFPP channel used on the interface.
Fiber optic connector cleaning
To avoid problems with the connection between the fiber optic module (SFP (mini-GBIC), SFP+, or
XFP) and the fiber cable connectors, Brocade strongly recommends cleaning both connectors each
time you disconnect and reconnect them. In particular, 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 the fiber-optic reel-type cleaner
that shipped with your device. You can also purchase this type of cleaner from the following web
site.

When not using an SFP, SFP+, or XFP connector, make sure to keep the protective covering on.
