Setting the IP Address
You must connect through the serial port to set the IP address (refer to “To connect through the serial
port” on page 2-2). After connecting, use the ipAddrSet command to set the IP address.
To set the IP address on the SilkWorm 3016
The SilkWorm 3016 does not have an Ethernet port or an external serial port. You must configure the IP
address for this model through the IBM eServer BladeCenter management module. Refer to the
Brocade Enterprise and Entry SAN Switch Modules for IBM eServer BladeCenter Design, Deployment
and Management Guide DDM for the procedure.
Fabric OS beginning with v2.6.0, v3.1.0, and v4.0.0 supports Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR).
Setting the Default Account Passwords
For each logical switch (domain), there are admin and user default access accounts. These accounts
designate different levels of authorization—called roles—for using the system:
• admin level for administrative use
• user level for nonadministrative use, such as monitoring system activity
• switchAdmin level for administrative use, except for security, user management, and zoning
Two accounts—factory and root—are reserved for development and manufacturing purposes. You can
change their passwords, which is optional, but you should not use these accounts under normal
circumstances.
Table 2-1 shows the number of simultaneous login sessions allowed for each role.
SilkWorm 3016: The default administrative account is called USERID (uppercase characters). For
instructions on changing this name, refer to “To change the default administrative account name on the
SilkWorm 3016” on page 2-5.
SilkWorm 200E, 3016, 3250, 3850, 3900, 4012, and 4100 switches and SilkWorm 24000 and 48000
(default configuration with one domain): There is one set of default access accounts.
SilkWorm 12000 and 24000 (configured with two domains): Each logical switch has its own set of
default access accounts. The default account names and passwords are the same for both of the logical
switches.
