How command information is presented in this guide
For all new content, command syntax and parameters are documented in a separate command
reference section at the end of the publication.
In an effort to provide consistent command line interface (CLI) documentation for all products, Brocade
is in the process of preparing standalone Command References for the IP platforms. This process
involves separating command syntax and parameter descriptions from configuration tasks. Until this
process is completed, command information is presented in two ways:
• For all new content included in this guide, the CLI is documented in separate command pages. The
new command pages follow a standard format to present syntax, parameters, usage guidelines,
examples, and command history. Command pages are compiled in alphabetical order in a separate
command reference chapter at the end of the publication.
• Legacy content continues to include command syntax and parameter descriptions in the chapters
where the features are documented.
If you do not find command syntax information embedded in a configuration task, refer to the
command reference section at the end of this publication for information on CLI syntax and usage.

Management port overview
NOTE
The management port applies to FCX, SX 800, SX 1600, ICX 6430, and ICX 6450 devices.
The management port is an out-of-band port that customers can use to manage their devices without
interfering with the in-band ports. The management port is widely used to download images and
configurations, for Telnet sessions.
For FCX devices, the MAC address for the management port is derived from the base MAC address of
the unit, plus the number of ports in the base module. For example, on a 48-port FCX standalone
device, the base MAC address is 0000.0034.2200. The management port MAC address for this device
would be 0000.0034.2200 plus 0x30, or 0000.0034.2230. The 0x30 in this case equals the 48 ports on
the base module.
FastIron Ethernet Switch Administration Guide
53-1003075-02
17
How the management port works
For SX 800 and SX 1600 devices, the MAC address for the management port is derived as if the
management port is the last port on the management module where it is located. For example, on a 2
X 10G management module, the MAC address of the management port is that of the third port on that
module.
How the management port works
The following rules apply to management ports:
• Only packets that are specifically addressed to the management port MAC address or the
broadcast MAC address are processed by the Layer 2 switch or Layer 3 switch. All other packets
are filtered out.
• No packet received on a management port is sent to any in-band ports, and no packets received on
in-band ports are sent to a management port.
• A management port is not part of any VLAN
• Configuring a strict management VRF disables certain features on the management port.
• Protocols are not supported on the management port.
• Creating a management VLAN disables the management port on the device.
• For FCX and ICX devices, all features that can be configured from the global configuration mode
can also be configured from the interface level of the management port. Features that are
configured through the management port take effect globally, not on the management port itself.
For switches, any in-band port may be used for management purposes. A router sends Layer 3
packets using the MAC address of the port as the source MAC address.
For stacking devices, (for example, an FCX stack) each stack unit has one out-of band management
port. Only the management port on the Active Controller will actively send and receive packets. If a
new Active Controller is elected, the new Active Controller management port will become the active
management port. In this situation, the MAC address of the old Active Controller and the MAC address
of the new controller will be different.
CLI Commands for use with the management port
The following CLI commands can be used with a management port.
To display the current configuration, use the show running-config interface management
command.
Syntax: show running-config interface management num

Logging on through the CLI
Once an IP address is assigned to a Brocade device running Layer 2 software or to an interface on the
Brocade device running Layer 3 software, you can access the CLI either through the direct serial
connection to the device or through a local or remote Telnet session.
You can initiate a local Telnet or SNMP or SSH connection by attaching a cable to a port and specifying
the assigned management station IP address.
FastIron Ethernet Switch Administration Guide 19
53-1003075-02
Online help
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
reboots, 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.
NOTE
By default, any user who can open a serial or Telnet or SSH connection to the 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. Refer to "Security Access" chapter in the FastIron Ethernet Switch Security
Configuration Guide .
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. An example is given below.
device(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. This feature is not
available in the boot loader prompt of ICX 6430 and ICX 6450 devices.
Scroll control
By default, the CLI uses a page mode to paginate displays that are longer than 24 lines to 24-line
page increments. For example, if you display a list of all the commands at the global CONFIG level,
the page mode stops the display at each 24-line increment and lists your choices for continuing the
display. An example is given below.

Using stack-unit, slot number, and port numberwith CLI commands
Using stack-unit, slot number, and port numberwith CLI commands
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 one of
the following formats:
• port number only
• slot number and port number
• stack-unit, slot number, and port number
The following sections show which format is supported on which devices. The ports are labelled on the
front panels of the devices.
CLI nomenclature on Chassis-based models
Chassis-based models (FSX 800 and FSX 1600) use port numbering that consists of a slot number
and a port number. When you enter CLI commands on these devices, you must specify both the slot
number and the port number. The slot numbers used in the FSX CLI examples apply only to Chassis
devices.
Here is an example. The following commands change the CLI from the global CONFIG level to the
configuration level for the first port on the device:
• FSX commands
device(config)#interface e 1/1
device(config-if-1/1)#
Syntax: ethernet slotnum/portnum
CLI nomenclature on Stackable devices
Stackable devices (FCX and ICX) use the stack-unit /slot/port nomenclature. When you enter CLI
commands that include the port number as part of the syntax, you must use the stack-unit/slot/port
number format. For example, the following commands change the CLI from the global CONFIG level
to the configuration level for the first port on the device:
device(config)#interface e 1/1/1
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/1)#
Syntax: ethernet stack-unit/slotnum/portnum
Refer to "Brocade Stackable Devices" chapter in the FastIron Ethernet Switch Stacking Configuration
Guide for more information about these devices.
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
22 FastIron Ethernet Switch Administration Guide

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 24 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 3/11 so it displays
only lines containing the word "Internet". This command can be used to display the IP address of the
interface.
device#show interface e 3/11 | include Internet
Internet address is 10.168.1.11/24, MTU 1518 bytes, encapsulation ethernet
Syntax: show-command | include regular-expression
NOTE
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 the Brocade
device.
device#show who | exclude closed
Console connections:
established
you are connecting to this session
2 seconds in idle
Telnet connections (inbound):
1 established, client ip address 10.168.9.37
27 seconds in idle
Telnet connection (outbound):
SSH connections:
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.
device#show who | begin SSH
SSH connections:
1 established, client ip address 10.168.9.210
7 seconds in idle
2 closed
3 closed
4 closed
5 closed
Syntax: show-command | begin regular-expression

Searching and filtering output at the --More-- prompt
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 or Q to cancel the display. In addition, you can search and filter output from this prompt.
At the --More-- prompt, you can press the forward slash key ( / ) and then enter a search string. The
Brocade device displays output starting from the first line that contains the search string, similar to the
begin option for show commands. An example is given below.
--More--, next page: Space, next line: Return key, quit: Control-c

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.
24 FastIron Ethernet Switch Administration Guide
53-1003075-02
Management Applications
Special characters for regular expressions TABLE 3
Character Operation
. 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
$ 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_

Creating an alias for a CLI command
Special characters for regular expressions (Continued)TABLE 3
Character Operation
[ ] 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
• - The hyphen separates the beginning and ending of a range of characters. A match occurs if any of
regular expression matches output that does not contain "1", "2", "3", "4", or "5":[^1-5]
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
( ) Parentheses allow you to create complex expressions.
value.
For example, the following regular expression matches output that contains either "abc" or "defg":
abc|defg
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. For example, to filter on output containing
an asterisk, enter the asterisk portion of the regular expression as "\*".
device#show ip route bgp | include \*
Creating an alias for a CLI command
You can create aliases for CLI commands. An alias serves as a shorthand version of a longer CLI
command. For example, you can create an alias called shoro for the CLI command show ip route .
Then when you enter shoro at the command prompt, the show ip route command is issued.
To create an alias called shoro for the CLI command show ip route , enter the alias shoro = show ip
route command.
device(config)#alias shoro = show ip route
Syntax: [no] alias alias-name = cli-command
The alias-name must be a single word, without spaces.
After the alias is configured, entering shoro at either the Privileged EXEC or CONFIG levels of the CLI,
issues the show ip route command.
Enter the command copy running-config with the appropriate parameters to create an alias called
wrsbc .
device(config)#alias wrsbc = copy running-config tftp 10.10.10.10 test.cfg
26 FastIron Ethernet Switch Administration Guide
53-1003075-02
Configuration notes for creating a command alias
To remove the wrsbc alias from the configuration, enter one of the following commands.
device(config)#no alias wrsbc
or
device(config)#unalias wrsbc
Syntax: unalias alias-name
The specified alias-name must be the name of an alias already configured on the Brocade device.
To display the aliases currently configured on the Brocade device, enter the following command at
either the Privileged EXEC or CONFIG levels of the CLI.
device#alias
wrsbc copy running-config tftp 10.10.10.10 test.cfg
shoro show ip route
Syntax: alias
Configuration notes for creating a command alias
The following configuration notes apply to this feature:
• You cannot include additional parameters with the alias at the command prompt. For example, after
you create the shoro alias, shoro bgp would not be a valid command.
• If configured on the Brocade device, authentication, authorization, and accounting is performed on
the actual command, not on the alias for the command.
• To save an alias definition to the startup-config file, use the write memory command.

Basic system parameter configuration
Brocade devices are configured at the factory with default parameters that allow you to begin using the
basic features of the system immediately. However, many of the advanced features such as VLANs or
routing protocols for the device must first be enabled at the system (global) level before they can be
configured. If you use the Command Line Interface (CLI) to configure system parameters, you can find
these system level parameters at the Global CONFIG level of the CLI.
NOTE
Before assigning or modifying any router parameters, you must assign the IP subnet (interface)
addresses for each port.
