About Brocade
Brocade® (NASDAQ: BRCD) networking solutions help the world's leading organizations transition smoothly to a world where
applications and information reside anywhere. This vision is designed to deliver key business benefits such as unmatched simplicity,
non-stop networking, application optimization, and investment protection.
Innovative Ethernet and storage networking solutions for data center, campus, and service provider networks help reduce complexity and
cost while enabling virtualization and cloud computing to increase business agility.
To help ensure a complete solution, Brocade partners with world-class IT companies and provides comprehensive education, support,
and professional services offerings (www.brocade.com).

Overview
Direct management of Brocade switches can be performed either via a command-line interface (CLI) or via a web GUI. By default, only
the CLI is enabled. This guide explains how to access the CLI, enable the web GUI, and secure all configuration access methods.
The web GUI allows full configuration and monitoring of Layer 2 functions, QoS, ACL, authentication, PoE, performing software updates,
and much more.

Connecting to the Console
There are two ways to connect to the configuration console of a new Ruckus ICX switch: either via a Telnet session over an IP network or
directly via the serial interface.

Telnet
If a Ruckus ICX switch is connected to a network, it will automatically issue DHCP requests for an IP configuration, which will be provided
by a DHCP server. Identifying the IP address that has been assigned to the switch can be done by viewing the address assignment list
on the DHCP server or by the switch serial interface (command: show ip).
Once the IP address of the switch is known, a Telnet session can be established using a terminal emulation program. See Accessing the
CLI on page 5.

Serial
Ruckus ICX 7150
The Ruckus ICX 7150 presents a USB Type-C connection, which can be connected directly to the USB port on a PC using a standard
USB cable. Any standard USB Type-C–to–Type-A cable can be used; if you wish to purchase the cable from Brocade, the part number
is CC-USBC-USBA.
The Ruckus ICX 7150 also presents a standard serial interface via an RJ45 connector. If required, an RJ45-to-DB9F cable can be
ordered from Brocade using part number CC-RJ45-DB9, which is comprised of the following two parts:
•

RJ45 to RJ45: Part number 50-1000117-01

•

RJ45 to DB9F: Part number 50-0000112-01

Details of the pin allocations of the serial cable are available in the Ruckus ICX 7150 Switch Hardware Installation Guide.

Introduction to the CLI

The Ruckus ICX 7250 and ICX 7450 switches present their serial interface via a mini-USB type connector, and every switch is shipped
with a serial cable that terminates on both RJ45 and DB9 connections. The two parts shipped with every switch are:
•

Mini-USB to RJ45: Part number 50-1000122-01

•

RJ45 to DB9F: Part number 50-0000112-01

If required, these two parts can be ordered using part number CC-miniusb-RJ45.
To connect a PC to the serial interface, a DB9M-to-USB adaptor is required; this adaptor can be obtained from any online electronics
supplier.
FIGURE 1 DB9M-to-USB Adaptor

Once a serial connection to the switch has been made, a terminal emulation program can be used to access the CLI. See Accessing the
CLI on page 5.

Introduction to the CLI
Accessing the CLI
Once a network or physical connection has been made to the switch, a command-line interface (CLI) session can be initiated via a
terminal emulation program such as PuTTY (www.putty.org). When PuTTY is started, use the following settings depending on whether
you are connecting via Telnet or a serial interface:

Introduction to the CLI

FIGURE 3 PuTTY Serial Settings (xx is the number of the COM port, e.g. COM5)

Once connected to the switch, the interface will present a console prompt. There are three privilege levels that are used to configure and
manage a switch: user EXEC mode, privileged EXEC mode, and global configuration mode.
User EXEC Mode
The user is able to perform basic commands to display the status and configuration of the device.
device>

Privileged EXEC Mode
At this level, the user can perform tasks such as saving the configuration, updating firmware, and performing other administrative tasks.
device>
device> enable
device#

Note that the enable command can be shortened to ena.
Global Configuration Mode
This is the highest level and allows the user to make configuration changes.
device>
device> enable
device# configure terminal
device(config)#

Note that the configure terminal command can be shortened to conf t.
From any prompt, the available commands can be listed by entering a question mark (?). Prompts can be auto-completed using the Tab
key. The options available at any level can be listed by entering ? or pressing Tab. For example:
device>
device>
…
device>
device>

device>
…

sh
show 
show ver
show version 
show version 

The exit command is used to drop back to the next lowest command level.

Saving the Configuration
Any configuration changes made using the CLI should be saved using the write memory command, which can be shortened to
wr mem.
device> ena
device# wr mem

Securing the Web, Serial, and Telnet Interfaces
The following commands enable web access and secure the web GUI, serial, and Telnet interfaces with a default username and password
of your choice.
device> ena
device# conf t
device(config)#
device(config)#
device(config)#
device(config)#
device(config #
device(config #
device(config)#
device(config)#

device#

crypto-ssl certificate generate
username  password 
aaa authentication login default local
aaa authentication web-server default local
enable telnet authentication
enable aaa console
web-management https
password-change any
wr mem
exit

Make sure that the username and password are secure and easy to remember. Once set, access to the CLI and web interface will be
possible only when the password has been correctly entered.
IMPORTANT
For reasons of security, Ruckus ICX switches do not provide any remote back-door access or reset mechanisms for the CLI or
web passwords. For details on resetting a lost password, refer to the hardware installation guide.
The password can be changed by repeating the username  password  command or via the web interface under
Configure > System > Management > User Account.
Cut and paste the following command set at the user EXEC prompt to apply the complete configuration outlined above and set a default
username of brocade with a password of brocade.
enable
configure terminal
crypto-ssl certificate generate
username brocade password brocade
aaa authentication login default local
aaa authentication web-server default local
enable telnet authentication
enable aaa console
web-management https
password-change any
write memory
exit

TIP
In PuTTY, use the right button on the mouse to paste text at the console prompt.
Access to the web interface is now possible, and all access methods are protected by a username and password.
IMPORTANT
To ensure that your switches are secure from unauthorized access, always set a secure password. Never leave a switch with the
default brocade/brocade settings provided above.

Adding a Static IP Address via the CLI

Adding a Static IP Address via the CLI
If you wish to add a static IP address to the switch before using the GUI, you can do so easily from the CLI using the following
commands.
device> ena
device# conf t
device(config)#
device(config)#
device(config)#
device(config)#
device#

ip address  
ip default-gateway 
wr mem
exit

NOTE
When setting the IP address, the syntax /mask> is also permitted; for example, 192.168.1.10/24.
NOTE
The commands listed above are applicable to Ruckus ICX switches running Layer 2 switch code that is the factory default for
the Ruckus ICX 7150, Ruckus ICX 7250, and Ruckus ICX 7450.

Accessing the Web GUI
You can now access the web interface of the switch. Enter the IP address of the switch into the address bar using either HTTP or HTTPS;
for example, https://192.168.2.79/.

Creating Additional Web Interface Users
The first task should be to create usernames and passwords to secure access to the switch. This is done via the User Account page,
which can be found under Configure > System > Management > User Account.

Users can be created with one of three permission levels:
0 Read-Write

Full read-write access for all system parameters.

4 Port-Config

Read-write access for specific ports, but not for global system parameters.

5 Read-Only

Read-only access for configuration and system parameters.

Deleting the Default Username and Password
If the brocade/brocade default username and password were used for the initial configuration, these must be deleted to protect the
system. Once you have created a new Read-Write user, simply delete the brocade/brocade user and save the configuration.
