• Using the Web Management Interface.....................................................................................................................................................17
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 congurations, modifying existing ones, and monitoring the trac 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.
NOTE
Web management pages may not get properly displayed with Google Chrome when Network Mapper (Nmap 6.4) is active.
Prerequisite conguration
The following steps must be completed to enable access to the Web Management Interface.
1. Connect a PC via a serial connection to the Brocade switch using the console port. Use a terminal program such as PuTTY to
access the Command Line Interface (CLI).
If the switch is already connected to a network, the switch will automatically receive its IP conguration via DHCP. To check the
IP conguration of the switch, use the show ip command.
If the switch is not connected to a network or you wish to assign an IP address manually, then use the commands described in
step 2, otherwise go to step 3.

State Displays the RSTP state of the port, which can be one of the following:
•DISCARDING -- RSTP has blocked data trac on this port to
prevent a loop. The device or VLAN can reach the root bridge
using another port, whose state is FORWARDING. When a port
is in this state, the port does not transmit or receive user frames,
but the port does continue to receive STP BPDUs. This state
corresponds to the listening and blocking states of 802.1D.
•DISABLED -- The port is not participating in RSTP. This can
occur when the port is disconnected or STP is disabled on the
port.
•FORWARDING --RSTP is allowing the port to send and receive

Displaying RMON history
By default, all active ports generate two history control data entries per active port. An active port is dened 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 .

• To display the current information about the stack modules, click Show Stack Modules . For more information, refer to the
“Displaying a stack module” section.
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 dierent 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 dierent, 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 eect immediately unless the Active Controller’s role changes.
This change will not take eect until the next stack reload.
To congure the priority of the units within a stack, perform the following steps.

Conguring STP
•Conguring STP parameters.....................................................................................................................................................................193
Conguring STP parameters
Brocade Layer 2 switches and Layer 3 switches support standard Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) as described in the IEEE 802.1D
specication.
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 congure 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 congure 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.

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.

Conguring TFTP
When the device reboots, or the auto-conguration feature has been disabled and then re-enabled, the device uses information from the
Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol (DHCP) server to contact the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server to update the running
conguration le. If the DHCP server provides a TFTP server name or IP address, the device uses this information to request les from
the TFTP server. If the DHCP server does not provide a TFTP server name or IP address, the device requests the conguration les
from the DHCP server.
The device requests the conguration les from the TFTP server in the following order:
• Boot le name provided by the DHCP server (if congured)
• Host name MAC address conguration le
• Brocade conguration le
If the device is successful in contacting the TFTP server and the server has the conguration les, the les are merged. If there is a
conict, the server le takes precedence. If the device is unable to contact the TFTP server or if the les are not found on the server, the
TFTP part of the conguration download process ends.
To access the TFTP conguration, perform the following steps.
1. Click Command on the left pane and select TFTP .
