Changing the IP address on a Brocade 3200


I purchased a used Brocade 3200 for my home lab, and needed to update the network information to allow myself to login remotely. To view the existing network configuration, I serial consoled in and ran the ipAddrShow command:

Switch:admin> **ipAddrShow**
Ethernet IP Address: 10.1.1.48
Ethernet Subnetmask: 255.255.255.0
Fibre Channel IP Address: none
Fibre Channel Subnetmask: none
Gateway Address: 10.1.1.1

Once I checked the existing settings, I ran the ipAddrSet command to update the network settings:

Switch:admin> **ipAddrSet**
Ethernet IP Address [10.192.40.148]: 192.168.1.2
Ethernet Subnetmask [255.255.240.0]: 255.255.255.0
Fibre Channel IP Address [none]:
Fibre Channel Subnetmask [none]:
Gateway Address [10.192.47.254]: 192.168.1.1

I really dig Brocade, and their command set is simple and easy to use.
