Support for IPv6 anycast addresses

Support for IPv6 anycast addresses
In the NetIron 5.4.00a Configuration Guide, the list of unsupported features for Brocade MLX
series and Brocade NetIron XMR devices incorrectly includes IPv6 anycast address.
Brocade MLX series and Brocade NetIron XMR devices support IPv6 anycast addresses starting in
NetIron 5.4.00b.
New LAG formation rule
The 10Gx24-DM module ports can only be part of LAGs exclusively consisting of 24x10G ports. A
LAG cannot have a mix of 24x10G module ports and any other 10G module ports.
Deleting CSPF groups
This feature is an enhancement to all Brocade devices running MPLS, enabling users to delete all
the CSPF fate-share groups using a single command. Users are required to confirm execution with
a warning message. Previous implementations required users to delete each group individually.
The enhancement is backward compatible so the earlier command continues to be supported on
all Brocade devices running MPLS.
For additional MPLS CSPF fate-sharing group information, refer to the latest Brocade MLXe and
NetIron Family Configuration Guide located at
www.brocade.com.
Deleting a CSPF group
In this example, group3 has already been set up as a fate-sharing CSPF group. To delete this CSPF
fate-sharing group, enter the following command in router MPLS mode.
Brocade(config-mpls)# no cspf-group group3
Syntax: [no] cspf-group group-name
The group-name variable specifies the name of the fate-sharing group and can be up to 128
characters. The objects that can be specified for a fate-sharing group are interface, point-to-point
link, node, and subnet. The maximum number of CSPF fate-sharing groups that can be configured
on a device is 1000. To delete each configuration group individually, enter the above command
with the relevant value for the <group-name> argument.
