To create inband management interfaces for two Brocade 7800 switches on the same subnet:
1. Configure each switch.
switch:admin> portcfg mgmtif ge0 create 192.168.3.10 255.255.255.0
switch:admin> portcfg mgmtif ge0 create 192.168.3.20 255.255.255.0
2. Access the switch through the external inband management interface.
linux# telnet 192.168.3.10
To create inband management interfaces for two Brocade 7800 switches on different subnets connected
by two routers:
1. Configure the inband management interfaces on the first switch.
switch:admin> portcfg mgmtif ge0 create 192.168.1.10 255.255.255.0
2. Configure the inband management route for the management station.
switch:admin> portcfg mgmtroute ge0 create 192.168.3.0
255.255.255.0 192.168.1.250
3. Configure the inband management interfaces on the second switch.
switch:admin> portcfg mgmtif ge0 create 192.168.2.20 255.255.255.0
4. Configure the inband management route for the management station.
switch:admin> portcfg mgmtroute ge0 create 192.168.3.0
255.255.255.0 192.168.2.250
