Access requirements
The Web Management Interface is a browser-based interface that allows administrators to manage
and monitor a single Brocade device or a group of Brocade devices connected together. For many
of the features on a Brocade device, the Web Management Interface can be used as an alternate
to the CLI for creating new configurations, modifying existing ones, and monitoring the traffic on a
device.
The Web Management Interface can be accessed from a management station using a web browser
through an HTTP connection. The management options can be accessed from a menu tree or a list.
The menu tree view is available when you use the Web Management Interface with the following
web browsers:

•
•
•
•
•
•

Netscape 4.0 or higher
Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher
Safari 3.1
Google Chrome
Mozilla Firefox
Opera

For all the other older browsers, the Web Management Interface displays only the list view.
The following requirements must be met for accessing the Web Management Interface:

• A management station, such as a PC, with a web browser, that is either connected directly to
the Brocade device or is on the network of the device to be managed.

• The device must have an IP address. The IP address can be assigned using the CLI. For more
information on IP addresses for a device, refer to the FastIron Configuration Guide.

• The device must be powered on before you begin management activities.

NOTE

If you are unable to connect with the device through a web browser due to a proxy problem, it may
be necessary to set your web browser for direct Internet access instead of using a proxy. For
information on how to change a proxy setting, refer to the online help provided with your web
browser.
2. Click Login. The dialog box as shown in Figure 2 is displayed.

FIGURE 2

User name and password dialog box

3. Perform one of the following procedures:

• For read-only access, enter the user name as get and a read-only community string for the
password. The community string public is the default read-only community string.

• For read-write access, enter the user name as set and a read-write community string for the
password. There is no default read-write community string.

NOTE
If you have configured the device to secure the Web Management Interface using local user
accounts, you must enter the user name and password of one of the user accounts.

Field

Description

Neighbor Index

Displays the IP address of the neighbor.
For point-to-point links, the value is as follows:
• If the Priority field is 1, this value is the IP address of the neighbor router interface.
• If the Priority field is 3, this is the subnet IP address of the neighbor router interface.

Router Id

Displays the neighbor router IP address.

Options

Displays the sum of the option bits in the Options field of the Hello packet.

Priority

Displays the OSPF priority of the neighbor:
For point-to-point links, this field shows one of the following values:
- 1 = Point-to-point link
- 3 = Point-to-point link with assigned subnet
• For multi-access networks, the priority is used during election of the DR and BDR.

•

State

Displays the state of the conversation between the Layer 3 switch and the neighbor, which
can be one of the following values:
• Down—The initial state of a neighbor conversation. This value indicates that there has
been no recent information received from the neighbor.
• Full —The neighboring Layer 3 switches are fully adjacent. These adjacencies will now
appear in Layer 3 switch links and network link advertisements.
• Attempt—This state is only valid for neighbors attached to non-broadcast networks. It
indicates that no recent information has been received from the neighbor.
• Init—A Hello packet has recently been seen from the neighbor. However, bidirectional
communication has not yet been established with the neighbor. (The Layer 3 switch
itself did not appear in the neighbor's Hello packet.) All neighbors in this state (or higher)
are listed in the Hello packets sent from the associated interface.
• 2-Way—Communication between the two Layer 3 switches is bidirectional. This is the
most advanced state before beginning adjacency establishment. The DR and BDR are
selected from the set of neighbors in the 2-Way state or greater.
• ExStart—The first step in creating an adjacency between the two neighboring Layer 3
switches. The goal of this step is to decide which Layer 3 switch is the master, and to
decide upon the initial Database Description (DD) sequence number. Neighbor
conversations in this state or greater are called adjacencies.
• Exchange—The Layer 3 switch is describing its entire link state database by sending DD
packets to the neighbor. Each Database Description (DD) packet has a DD sequence
number, and is explicitly acknowledged. Only one DD packet can be outstanding at any
time. In this state, Link State Request packets can also be sent asking for the neighbor's
more recent advertisements. All adjacencies in Exchange state or greater are used by
the flooding procedure. In fact, these adjacencies are fully capable of transmitting and
receiving all types of OSPF routing protocol packets.
• Loading—Link State Request packets are sent to the neighbor asking for the more
recent advertisements that have been discovered (but not yet received) in the Exchange
state.

Events

The number of times the neighbor state changed.

Retransmission Q
Length

Displaying RMON history
By default, all active ports generate two history control data entries per active port. An active port is
defined as one with a link up. If the link goes down, the two history entries are automatically
cleared.
The following history entries are generated for each device:

• A sampling of statistics every 30 seconds
• A sampling of statistics every 30 minutes
To display Remote Monitoring (RMON) history, perform the following steps.
1. Click Monitor on the left pane and select RMON.
2. Click History.
The RMON Ethernet History window is displayed as shown in Figure 67.

Description

Port

Displays the port for which the history data is being presented. The port number varies
based on the product:
• For Brocade FCX and Brocade ICX devices – stack-unit/slotnum/portnum
• For Brocade FastIron SX devices – slotnum/portnum

Time Stamp

Displays the day and time when the data was collected.

Utilization(%)

Displays the percentage of the port that was being utilized when the data was taken.

Drop Events

Displays the total number of events in which packets were dropped by the RMON probe
due to lack of resources. This number is not necessarily the number of packets dropped,
but is the number of times an overrun condition has been detected.

Octets

Displays the total number of octets of data received on the network.
This number includes octets in bad packets.
This number does not include framing bits but does include Frame Check Sequence
(FCS) octets.

Packets

Displays the total number of packets received.
This number includes bad packets, broadcast packets, and multicast packets.

Packets: Broadcast

Displays the total number of good packets received that were directed to the broadcast
address.
This number does not include multicast packets.

Packets: Multicast

Displays the total number of good packets received that were directed to a multicast
address.
This number does not include packets directed to the broadcast address.

CRC Alignment Errors

Displays the total number of packets received that were from 64 through 1518 octets
long, but had either a bad FCS with an integral number of octets (FCS Error) or a bad FCS
with a non-integral number of octets (Alignment Error).
The packet length does not include framing bits but does include FCS octets.

Size Packets: Under

Displays the total number of packets received that were less than 64 octets long and
were otherwise well formed.
This number does not include framing bits but does include FCS octets.

Size Packets: Over

Displays the total number of packets received that were longer than 1518 octets and
were otherwise well formed.
This number does not include framing bits but does include FCS octets.

Fragments

Displays the total number of packets received that were less than 64 octets long and had
either a bad FCS with an integral number of octets (FCS Error) or a bad FCS with a
non-integral number of octets (Alignment Error).
It is normal for this counter to be incremented, because it counts both runts (which are
normal occurrences due to collisions) and noise hits.
This number does not include framing bits but does include FCS octets.

Jabbers

Displays the total number of packets received that were longer than 1518 octets and had
either a bad FCS with an integral number of octets (FCS Error) or a bad FCS with a
non-integral number of octets (Alignment Error).
NOTE: This definition of jabber is different from the definition in IEEE-802.3 section
8.2.1.5 (10BASE5) and section 10.3.1.4 (10BASE2). These documents define
jabber as the condition where any packet exceeds 20 ms. The allowed range to
detect jabber is between 20 ms and 150 ms.
This number does not include framing bits but does include FCS octets.

Collisions

Displays the best estimate of the total number of collisions on this Ethernet segment.

Displaying RMON Ethernet statistics
RMON statistics provide count information on multicast and broadcast packets. This information
includes total packets sent, undersized and oversized packets, CRC alignment errors, jabbers,
collisions, fragments, and dropped events for each port on the system. RMON statistics collection
is activated automatically during system startup, and requires no configuration.
To display RMON statistics, perform the following steps.
1. Click Monitor on the left pane and select RMON.
2. Click Statistic.
3. For the Brocade FCX and Brocade ICX devices, select a unit ID in the Select Stack Unit ID list
and click Display to view information about a specific stack unit.

NOTE

The Select Stack Unit ID list is not available in the RMON Ethernet Statistics window for the
Brocade FastIron SX devices.

Configuring the general settings for an IronStack
To change the stack settings to improve performance and reliability of the device, perform the
following steps.
1. Click Configure on the left pane and select Stack.
2. Click General.
The General Stacking Configuration window is displayed as shown in Figure 71.

Modifying stack priority

3. Click one of the following options for Stacking and then click Apply:

• Disable—Prevents a unit from sending or listening for any stacking probe messages. In this
mode, the unit cannot be forced to join a stack.

• Enable—Enables stacking mode on a new unit before you add it to the stack.
• None—Prevents the unit from actively sending out probe messages; however, the unit can
still be called to join a stack by an Active Controller.
4. Enter the Media Access Control (MAC) address of the device in the MAC Address field and then
click Apply.
5. Click Disable or Enable for MAC Persistent Timer and then click Apply.
If you click Enable, type the time delay before the stack MAC address changes in the MAC
Persistent Timer field and then click Apply.
The General Stacking Configuration window provides links to monitor stack parameters:

• To display the current stack information, click Show Stack Details. For more information, refer
to “Displaying the stack details” on page 25.

• To display the current information about the stack modules, click Show Stack Modules. For
more information, refer to “Displaying a stack module” on page 27.

Modifying stack priority
The stack unit with the highest priority is the Active Controller (128 by default). The stack unit with
the second highest priority is the Standby Controller, which takes over if the current Active
Controller fails.
It is possible to assign the same priority for Active and Standby Controllers, or different priorities
(Active highest and Standby second-highest). When the Active and Standby Controllers have the
same priority, if the Active Controller fails, the Standby Controller takes over. If the original Active
Controller becomes operational again, it will not be able to resume its original role.
When the priorities of the Active and Standby Controllers are different, if the Active Controller fails,
the Standby Controller takes over. If the original Active Controller becomes operational again, the
old Active Controller regains its role and resets the other units.
You can assign the same priority to the Active and Standby Controllers after the stack is formed.
This prevents the intended Standby Controller from becoming the Active Controller during stack
construction.
Changing the priority of a stack member triggers an election that takes effect immediately unless
the Active Controller’s role changes. This change will not take effect until the next stack reload.
To configure the priority of the units within a stack, perform the following steps.
1. Click Configure on the left pane and select Stack.
2. Click Priority.
The Stack Unit Priority window is displayed as shown in Figure 72.

Configuring STP

In this chapter

Configuring STP parameters
Brocade Layer 2 switches and Layer 3 switches support standard Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) as
described in the IEEE 802.1D specification.
Each port-based VLAN on a Brocade device runs a separate spanning tree. A Brocade device has
one port-based VLAN (VLAN 1) that contains all the device ports. However, if you configure
additional port-based VLANs on a Brocade device, then each of those VLANs on which STP is
enabled and the VLAN 1 run separate spanning trees.
If you configure a port-based VLAN on the device, the VLAN has the same STP state as the default
STP state on the device. Thus, by default on Layer 2 switches, new VLANs have STP enabled and on
Layer 3 switches, new VLANs have STP disabled. You can enable or disable STP in each VLAN
separately and also on individual ports.
Using the Web Management Interface, you can change the default STP bridge and port
parameters.

Changing STP bridge parameters
Table 53 lists the default STP bridge parameters.

4. Type the Virtual Router Identifier (VRID) in the VRId field.
5. Click Disable or Enable for Activate.
6. Specify the hello interval from 1 through 84 seconds in the Hello Interval field. The default is 1
second.

NOTE

The default dead interval is three times the hello interval plus skew time, where skew time is
equal to (256 - priority)/256. Generally, if you change the hello interval, you must also change
the dead interval on the backup Layer 3 switches.
7.

Type the IP address of the device in the IP Address List field.
VRRP does not use virtual IP addresses. Instead, you must associate the virtual router with one
or more real interface IP addresses configured on the Layer 3 switch that owns the real IP
addresses.

owner is 2 and for backups it is 1.
When you configure a VRID to track the link state of other interfaces, if one of the tracked
interfaces goes down, the software changes the VRRP priority of the VRID interface to the track
priority, which typically is lower than the VRID priority and lower than the VRID priorities
configured on the backups.

NOTE

For the Brocade FCX and Brocade ICX devices, if the Active Controller is reset or removed from the
stack, the entire stack reloads and Active Controller and Standby Controller elections are started. If
the unit functioning as the previous Active Controller is no longer part of the stack, the Standby
Controller unit becomes the new Active Controller. After a reset, if no stack member qualifies as the
Active Controller, the existing Standby Controller waits 30 seconds and then assumes the role of the
Active Controller.
If both the Active Controller and the Standby Controllers are removed, the rest of the stack continues
to function. The stack members will not be able to learn any new addresses.

Saving the configuration to flash

Performing a trace
Trace Route allows you to trace a path from the Brocade device to an IPv4 host. Trace route
requests show all responses to a minimum Time To Live (TTL) of 1 second and a maximum TTL of
30 seconds. In addition, if there are multiple equal-cost routes to the destination, the Brocade
device displays up to three responses. To run a trace, perform the following steps.
1. Click Command on the left pane and select Trace Route.

Configuring TFTP
When the device reboots, or the auto-configuration feature has been disabled and then re-enabled,
the device uses information from the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server to contact
the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server to update the running configuration file. If the DHCP
server provides a TFTP server name or IP address, the device uses this information to request files
from the TFTP server. If the DHCP server does not provide a TFTP server name or IP address, the
device requests the configuration files from the DHCP server.
The device requests the configuration files from the TFTP server in the following order:

• Boot file name provided by the DHCP server (if configured)
• Host name MAC address configuration file
• Brocade configuration file
If the device is successful in contacting the TFTP server and the server has the configuration files,
the files are merged. If there is a conflict, the server file takes precedence. If the device is unable to
contact the TFTP server or if the files are not found on the server, the TFTP part of the configuration
download process ends.
To access the TFTP configuration, perform the following steps.
1. Click Command on the left pane and select TFTP.
2. Click Configuration.
The TFTP Configuration window is displayed as shown in Figure 228.
