Product Overview
POE applications
All FGS and FGS-STK devices provide high port density and Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) uplinks within a compact form factor. Standard FGS
models ship from the factory with 128 MB of SDRAM. FGS-STK models ship from the factory with 256 MB of SDRAM. Since all
devices that will run the stacking software must have 256 MB of memory, the stacking upgrade kit includes the stacking EEPROM and
128 MB of additional memory to fulfill this requirement. For information about how to upgrade your standard FGS model see “EPREM
Upgrade for FastIron GS Devices”
You can order FGS and FGS-STK devices with Power over Ethernet (PoE) factory installed, or you can upgrade your device to include
PoE at a later date. You can also upgrade your FGS devices to support stacking by ordering the stacking upgrade kit. For more
information refer to “Stacking Upgrade for the FastIron GS” on page 53.
FGS-STK devices ship with full stacking support included. For information about how to connect stackable devices into an IronStack,
refer to “Installing FastIron GS-STK stackable devices” on page 43.
FGS and FGS-STK POE devices provide electrical power over existing Ethernet cables, supporting the need for integrated data, voice,
and video applications.
POE applications
Brocade FGS POE devices provide Power over Ethernet (POE), compliant with the standards described in the IEEE 802.3af specification
for delivering in-line power. The 802.3af specification defines the standard for delivering power over existing network cabling
infrastructure, offering multicast-enabled full streaming audio and video applications for converged services, such as Voice over IP (VoIP),
WLAN access points, IP surveillance cameras, and other IP technology devices.
POE technology eliminates the need for an electrical outlet and dedicated UPS near IP powered devices. With power sourcing devices,
such as Brocade FGS624P-POE and FGS648P-POE models, power is consolidated and centralized in the wiring closets, improving the
reliability and resiliency of the network. Because POE can provide power over Ethernet cable, power is continuous, even in the event of a
power failure.
For more information about POE and how to configure it on FGS and FGS-STK devices, refer to the <Italic>FastIron Configuration
Guide.

Viewing the media types installed in the ports
The show media command displays the types of media (copper or fiber) installed in the ports. The following example is show media
output:
The “Show Media Description” column in Table 3 shows the text that is displayed by the show media command for each connector type.
10/100/1000 Mbps ports
10/100/1000 copper ports use auto-sensing and auto-negotiating to determine the speed (10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps) and
mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of the port at the other end of the link, and adjust port speed accordingly.
10/100/1000 ports on FGS devices support RJ-45 copper connectors. The output of the show media command displays C next to the
ports that have copper connectors installed.
Gigabit copper ports on the FGS and FGS-STK models support auto MDI or MDIX detection. For more information about this feature,

Combination ports
Copper ports 1 – 4 and fiber ports 1F – 4F are combination ports, meaning either the copper port or its corresponding fiber port can be
active, but both cannot be active at the same time. You can use a combination of fiber and copper ports, all four copper, or all four fiber
ports, as needed.
If you attach both the copper and fiber connectors for a port to the network, the fiber connectors take precedence. These ports support
true media automatic detection, meaning the device will select the fiber or copper connector based on link availability. If a fiber link cannot
be established, the device will select the copper media.
10 Gbps ports
This section describes the 10 Gbps modules.

Fiber optic modules
Table 18 in the chapter “Hardware Specifications”lists the types of fiber optic modules (SFPs and XFPs) supported on Brocade FGS and
FGS-STK devices.
Table 3 describes the output of the show media command for each media type.
Power supplies
Each FGS or FGS-STK device comes with one alternating-current (AC) power supply (part number RPS-FGS) or direct-current (DC)
power supply (part number RPSDC-FGS), depending on how it was ordered from the factory. All models have two power supply slots,
enabling you to install a second power supply for redundancy (if applicable) or for additional POE power. You can use any combination of
AC and DC supplies in the same device.

FIGURE 16 RPSDC-FGS DC power supply front panel
The power supplies are auto-sensing and auto-switching, and provide 600 watts of total output power, including +12VDC @ 10A to the
system and -48VDC@ 10A for Power over Ethernet applications. The power supplies provide 100-240 VAC input, 50-60Hz @ 8A to
3.2A.
Power supplies can be swapped in or out of the device while the device is running, and without opening the device. If the device contains
redundant power supplies, you can remove one of the supplies without interrupting operation because the remaining power supply
provides enough power for all of the ports.
For power supply hardware specifications, refer to “Hardware Specifications” on page 67.
NOTE
A FastIron GS or GS-STK POE device with dual power supplies may not provide redundancy, depending on how much power
the POE ports are consuming. Refer to “Power specifications for POE” on page 26.
Disconnect the power supply cable from the power source (outlet) before you install it in or remove it from
the device. Failure to do this can result in damage to the power supply or the device, or both. (The device
can be running while a power supply is being installed or removed, but the power supply itself should not
be connected to a power source.)
The FGS power supply is designed exclusively for use with FGS and FGS-STK devices. Installing the power
supply in a device other than an FGS or FGS-STK will cause extensive damage to your equipment.
Power specifications for POE
The implementation of the 802.3af standard limits power to 15.4W (44V to 57V) from the power sourcing device. This limit complies
with safety standards and existing wiring limitations. Though limited by the 802.3af standard, 15.4 watts of power is ample, as most
powered devices consume an average of 5 to 12 watts of power. IP phones, wireless LAN access points, and network surveillance
cameras each consume an average of 3.5 to 9 watts of power.
Brocade FastIron GS and GS-STK Hardware Installation Guide 27
Part Number: 53-1002186-03
Product Overview
Hardware features
Brocade 48-volt power supplies provide power to the POE daughter card, and ultimately to POE power-consuming devices. The
number of POE power-consuming devices that one 48-volt power supply can support depends on the number of watts required by each
device. Each 48-volt power supply provides 480 watts of power for POE, and each POE port supports a maximum of 15.4 watts of
power per POE power-consuming device. For example, if each POE power-consuming device attached to the FGS consumes 12 watts
of power, one 48-volt supply will power up to 40 POE ports. You can install a second 48-volt supply for additional POE power.
NOTE
If your FastIron GS or GS-STK POE device has 48 ports and only one power supply, and each POE-enabled port needs 15.4
watts, then a maximum of 31 ports can supply power to connected devices.
For power supply specifications, refer to “Hardware Specifications” on page 67. For POE configuration procedures, refer the
<Italic>FastIron Configuration Guide.
Precautions
The following precautions apply to the FastIron GS or GS-STK POE with 48 ports:
•
If your FastIron GS or GS-STK POE device has 48 ports and two power supplies, and the POE ports are consuming more than
480 watts of power, a single power supply failure will cause both power supplies to shut down.
•
If your FastIron GS or GS-STK POE device has 48 ports and only one power supply, and the power consuming devices
connected to POE-enabled ports consume a total of more than 480 watts of power, the power supply may shut down.
Cooling system and fans
FGS and FGS-STK devices have two single-speed fans that operate simultaneously. If one fan fails, it does not affect the operation of the
other fan. For more information about fans and the cooling system, refer to “Cooling” on page 68.

Installation precautions
Do not install the device in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might exceed 40
°
C
(104
°
F).
Make sure that air flow around the front, sides, and back of the device is not restricted.
Never leavec tools inside the device.
Lifting precautions
Make sure the rack or cabinet housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from becoming
unstable or falling over.
Do not use the handles on the power supply units to lift or carry a Brocade device.
Mount the devices you install in a rack or cabinet as low as possible. Place the heaviest device at the
bottom and progressively place lighter devices above.
Power precautions
The following precautions apply to FastIron GS POE and FastIron GS-STK POE 48-port devices:
•
If your FastIron GS or GS-STK POE device has 48 ports and only one power supply, and each POE-enabled port needs 15.4
watts, then a maximum of 31 ports can supply power to connected devices.
•
If your FastIron GS or GS-STK POE device has 48 ports and two power supplies, and the POE ports are consuming more than
480 watts of power, a single power supply failure will cause both power supplies to shut down.
•
If your FastIron GS or GS-STK POE device has 48 ports and only one power supply, and the power consuming devices
connected to POE-enabled ports consume a total of more than 480 watts of power, the power supply may shut down.
Use a separate branch circuit for each AC power cord, to provide redundancy in case one of the circuits
fails.

Part Number: 53-1002186-03
Installing FastIron GS and FastIron GS-STK Devices
Installation precautions
Ensure that the device does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection. To
determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add the ampere (amp) ratings of all devices
installed on the same circuit as the device. Compare this total with the rating limit for the circuit. The
maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the devices near the input power connectors.
All devices with DC power supplies are intended for installation in restricted access areas only. A
restricted access area is where access can be gained only by service personnel through the use of a
special tool, lock and key, or other means of security, and is controlled by the authority responsible for the
location.
For a DC system (DC power supply part number RPSDC-FGS), use a grounding wire of at least 10
American Wire Gauge (AWG). The 10 AWG wire should be attached to an agency-approved crimp
connector, crimped with the proper tool.
For the DC input circuit to the system (DC power supply part number RPSDC-FGS), make sure there is a
Listed 30 amp circuit breaker, minimum -48Vdc, double pole, on the input to the terminal block. The
input wiring for connection to the product should be Listed copper wire, 10 AWG, marked VW-1, and rated
minimum 90 degrees Celsius.
Make sure you insert the power supply right-side up. It is possible to insert the supply upside down,
although the supply will not engage with the power backplane when upside down. The power supply is
right-side up when the power connector is on the left and the fan vent is on the right.
Remove the power cord from a power supply before you install it in or remove it from the device.
Otherwise, the power supply or the device could be damaged. (The device can be running while a power
supply is being installed or removed, but the power supply itself should not be connected to a power
source.)

Part Number: 53-1002186-03
Installing FastIron GS and FastIron GS-STK Devices
Preparing the installation site
The FGS power supply is designed exclusively for use with the FGS devices. The power supply produces
extensive power to support 802.3af applications. Installing the power supply in a device other than the
FGS will cause extensive damage to your equipment.
Disconnect the power cord from all power sources to completely remove power from the device.
Make sure to choose the appropriate circuit device depending on the number of AC power supplies
installed in the device. The minimum current draw for the system is one AC power supply.
Power supplies are hot swappable. However, Brocade recommends that you disconnect the power supply
from AC power before installing or removing the supply. The device can be running while a power supply
is being installed or removed, but the power supply itself should not be connected to a power source.
Otherwise, you could be injured or the power supply or other parts of the device could be damaged.
Make sure that the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use the power cord supplied with
the device to connect it to the power source.
If the installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the device, make sure you
use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in
your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the device.
Preparing the installation site
Cabling infrastructure
Ensure that the proper cabling is installed at the site. Refer to “Device specifications” on page 67 or visit www.brocade.com for a
summary of supported cabling types and their specifications.

Installation location
Before installing the device, plan its location and orientation relative to other devices and equipment. Allow at least 7.62cm (3 inches) of
space at the front of the device for the twisted-pair, fiber-optic, and power cabling. Also, allow a minimum of 3 in. of space between the
sides and the back of the device and walls or other obstructions.
Installing a redundant power supply
FGS and FGS-STK devices ship with one AC or DC power supply installed. You can install a second supply for added power or
redundancy. Figure 1 shows the front panel of an AC power supply.
FIGURE 1 AC power supply front panel
If you plan to install a second power supply, it may be easier to install it before mounting the device, although the power supplies are “hot
swappable” and can be installed or removed after the device is mounted and powered on.
Always disconnect the power supply from the power source (outlet) before you install it in or remove it
from the device. Otherwise, the power supply or the device could be damaged. The device can be running
while a power supply is being installed or removed, but the power supply itself should be disconnected
from the power source.
Installing an AC power supply
Before beginning the installation, refer to the precautions in “Power precautions” on page 31.
Use the following procedures to install AC power supplies in FastIron GS and GS-STK devices. You will need a #2 Phillips-head
screwdriver to perform these procedures.
To install an AC power supply, do the following:
1. If necessary, remove the power supply locking screw located in the center rear of the device (refer to Figure 2). If you are
replacing a power supply, you will need to remove the existing power supply. Use the handle to pull the old power supply out of
the device.

Brocade FastIron GS and GS-STK Hardware Installation Guide 41
Part Number: 53-1002186-03
Installing FastIron GS and FastIron GS-STK Devices
Installing the device
The Brocade device is compatible with two rack mount kits; a kit with short mounting brackets that ships with the device, and a kit with
long mounting brackets (19 inches), which you can order separately from Brocade (part number 70166-000). Use the long mounting
brackets to prevent the Brocade device from sagging when installed in a non-compliant (non-Telco) equipment rack.
In addition to the rack mount kit, you will need the following tools for installation:
•
#2 Phillips-head screwdriver
•
Four 12-24 screws to mount the Brocade device to the rack.
Make sure the rack or cabinet housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from becoming
unstable or falling over.
Mount the devices in the lowest position possible in a rack or cabinet. Place the heaviest device at the
bottom and progressively place lighter devices above.
To install the rack mount brackets and mount the device in a rack, do the following:
1. Remove the rack mount kit from the shipping carton. The kit contains two mounting brackets.
2. Align the brackets with the screw holes on the sides of the device, then use 12-24 screws to attach the mounting brackets.
Refer to the appropriate illustration, depending on which brackets you are installing:
•
Figure 11 shows how to attach the short mounting brackets.
•
Figure 12 shows how to attach the long mounting brackets.

3. Mount the device in the rack as illustrated in Figure 13.
NOTE
Although Figure 13 shows a device with short mounting brackets, the procedure for securing a device with long mounting
brackets is the same.
FIGURE 13 Installing the device in a rack
NOTE
If you are installing a device with two power supplies into a Telco rack, you must remove one of the power supplies in order to
slide the device into the rack. The back panels of the power supplies overhang the device by approximately .25 inches, making it
impossible to insert into a standard Telco rack with both power supplies installed.

Installing the device
Installing FastIron GS-STK stackable devices
Install your stackable devices in the same manner as standalone devices. When you have installed all of your stack devices in a rack or on
a table, you will need to cable them together into a stack topology.
IronStack technology supports linear and ring stack topologies. Figure 14 and Figure 15 on page 44 show four devices connected in a
linear and ring topology, respectively. Although these illustrations show four devices, you can connect up to eight devices in a single stack.
NOTE
Since you can use either of the two 10Gb ports as stacking ports in any order, your cabling configuration may differ from that
shown in these illustrations.
Use the .5 meter CX4 cables that shipped with each FGS-STK device to connect a linear stack topology. For a ring topology, you will
need an additional, longer (3.0 meter) CX4 cable.
NOTE
The total maximum stacking distance in linear and ring stack topologies is 3,281 feet (1,000 meters ). This length can consist of
multiple inter-switch stacking connections adding up to 1,000 meters. A single inter-switch stacking connection should not
exceed 1,000 meters.
For XFP cabling, Table 2 lists the recommended cable lengths for various connection distances.

If you plan to upgrade your existing FGS devices to support stacking, you will need to install an upgrade kit. Refer to “Stacking
Upgrade for the FastIron GS” on page 53.
Powering on the system
Note the following before powering on the system:
•
The power socket should be installed near the equipment and should be easily accessible.
•
If the outlet is not rated 115/120V, stop and get the appropriate cable for the outlet.
•
If your installation requires a different power cord than that supplied with the device, make sure you obtain a power cord
displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in your country. The mark is your
assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the device.
After you complete the physical installation of the system, you can power on the system.
1. Ensure that all power supplies are fully and properly inserted and all empty power supply slots are covered.
Never leave tools inside the device.
2. For DC supplies, connect the power source to the wires to activate the circuit.
3. For AC supplies:
•
Remove the power cord from the shipping package.
•
Attach the AC power cable to the AC connector on the rear panel and secure with retaining bale, as shown in Figure 16.
FIGURE 16 Attaching the AC power cable

Installing FastIron GS and FastIron GS-STK Devices
Verifying proper operation
4. If your device has more than one power supply installed, repeat this procedure for each power supply.
5. Verify the device is working properly (refer to “Verifying proper operation” on page 46.)
Powering off the system
•
To turn an AC system OFF, press the power supply switch to the OFF position or unplug the power cords.
•
To turn a DC system OFF, disconnect the power source to the wires to de-activate the circuit.
Verifying proper operation
After you have installed any additional power supplies and powered on the system, verify that the device is working properly:
1. Verify that the LED for each power supply is a solid green.
2. Verify proper operation by observing the LEDs:
•
All port LEDs should flash momentarily, usually in sequence, while the device performs diagnostics. After the diagnostics
are complete, the LEDs will be dark except for those that are attached by cables to other devices. If the links on these cables
are good and the connected device is powered on, the link LEDs will light.
•
Table 3 provides more details on specific LED conditions after system start-up.
Observing the power status LEDs
Table 3 lists the device front panel LEDs that show power status. The power supplies do not have LEDs.
The software regularly polls the hardware for power status information. You can display the status information from any management
session using the show device CLI command. In addition, the software automatically generates a Syslog message and SNMP trap if a
status change occurs.
Attaching a PC or terminal
To assign an IP address, you must have access to the Command Line Interface (CLI). The CLI is a text-based interface that can be
accessed through a direct serial connection to the device or through Telnet connections.

Brocade FastIron GS and GS-STK Hardware Installation Guide 47
Part Number: 53-1002186-03
Installing FastIron GS and FastIron GS-STK Devices
Attaching a PC or terminal
You will need to assign an IP address using the CLI. You can access the CLI by attaching management station through a serial cable to
the Console port. After you assign an IP address, you can access the system through Telnet, the Web management interface, or IronView
Network Manager.
To attach a management station using the serial port:
1. Use a straight-through cable to connect a PC or terminal to the male DB-9 serial port connector.
NOTE
You need to run a terminal emulation program on the PC.
2. Open the terminal emulation program and set the session parameters as follows:
•
Baud: 9600 bps
•
Data bits: 8
•
Parity: None
•
Stop bits: 1
•
Flow control: None
•
When you establish the serial connection to the system, press Enter to display the CLI prompt in the terminal emulation
window. For example:
•
FastIron>
•
FastIron-PREM>
•
When you see one of these prompts, you are connected to the system and can proceed to “Assigning permanent
passwords” on page 61.
•
You can customize the prompt by changing the system name. Refer to the <Italic>FastIron Configuration Guide.
If you do not see a prompt:
1. Make sure the cable is securely connected to your PC and to the Brocade device.
2. Check the settings in your terminal emulation program. In addition to the session settings listed above, make sure the terminal
emulation session is running on the same serial port you attached to the Brocade device.
The EIA /TIA 232 serial communication port serves as a connection point for management by a PC or SNMP workstation. Brocade
switches and Layer 3 Switches come with a standard male DB-9 connector, shown in Figure 17.

Connecting Network Devices and
Checking Connectivity
Assigning permanent passwords
The procedures in this manual are intended for qualified service personnel.
Table 1 lists the tasks you must perform to connect your Brocade device, and shows you where to find troubleshooting information for
any problems that may arise.
By default, the CLI is not protected by passwords. To secure CLI access, Brocade strongly recommends assigning passwords.
NOTE
You cannot assign a password using the Web management interface. You can assign passwords using IronView Network
Manager if an enable password for a Super User has been configured on the device.
The CLI contains the following access levels:
•
User EXEC – The level you enter when you first start a CLI session. At this level, you can view some system information but you
cannot configure system or port parameters.
•
Privileged EXEC – Also called the Enable level, and can be secured by a password. At this level, you can perform tasks such as
manage files on the flash module, save the system configuration to flash, and clear caches.
•
CONFIG – This level lets you configure the system IP address, and switching and routing features. To access the CONFIG
mode, you must already be logged into the Privileged level of the EXEC mode (the Enable level).
You can set the following levels of Enable passwords:
•
Super User – Allows complete read-and-write access to the system. This is generally for system administrators and is the only
password level that allows you to configure passwords.
NOTE
You must set a super user password before you can set other types of passwords.
•
Port Configuration – Allows read-and-write access for specific ports but not for global (system-wide) parameters.

Assigning permanent passwords
•
Read Only – Allows access to the Privileged EXEC mode and CONFIG mode but only with read access.
To set passwords:
1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter the following command to change to the Privileged level of the EXEC mode:
FGS 624> enable
2. Access the CONFIG level of the CLI by entering the following command:
FGS 624
# configure terminal
FGS 624(config)
#
3. Enter the following command to set the super-user password:
FGS 624(config)
#
enable super-user-password <text>
NOTE
You must set the super user password before you can set other types of passwords.
4. Enter the following commands to set the port configuration and read-only passwords:
FGS 624(config)# enable port-config-password <text>
FGS 624(config)# enable read-only-password <text>
NOTE
If you forget your super user password, refer to “Recovering from a lost password”.
Syntax: enable super-user-password | read-only-password | port-config-password <text>
Passwords can be up to 32 characters long.
Assigning a password to an IronStack
If you have connected devices in a stack topology, you need only assign a password to the device that will be the Active Controller for the
stack. The Active Controller is generally the first device you connect in a stack topology and is assigned the highest priority in the stack.
For more information on stack priorities, device stack roles, and ID numbers, refer to the <Italic>FastIron Configuration Guide.
Recovering from a lost password
By default, the CLI does not require passwords. However, if someone has configured a password for the device but the password has
been lost, you can regain super-user access to the device using the following procedure.
NOTE
Recovery from a lost password requires direct access to the serial port and a system reset.
To recover from a lost password:
1. Start a CLI session over the serial interface to the Brocade device.
2. Reboot the device.
3. While the system is booting, before the initial system prompt appears, enter b to enter the boot monitor mode.
4. Enter no password at the prompt. (You cannot abbreviate this command.)
5. Enter boot system flash primary at the prompt. This command causes the device to bypass the system password check.
6. After the console prompt reappears, assign a new password.

Connecting Network Devices and Checking Connectivity
Configuring IP addresses
Configuring IP addresses
You must configure at least one IP address using the serial connection to the CLI before you can manage the system using the other
management interfaces. In addition, Brocade routers require an IP subnet address for the subnet in which you plan to place them in your
network.
Brocade devices support both classical IP network masks (Class A, B, and C subnet masks, and so on) and Classless Interdomain Routing
(CIDR) network prefix masks.
•
To enter a classical network mask, enter the mask in IP address format. For example, enter
“209.157.22.99 255.255.255.0” for an IP address with a Class-C subnet mask.
•
To enter a prefix number for a network mask, enter a forward slash ( / ) and the number of bits in the mask immediately after the
IP address. For example, enter “209.157.22.99/24” for an IP address that has a network mask with 24 significant (“mask”) bits.
By default, the CLI displays network masks in classical IP address format (example: 255.255.255.0). You can change the display to the
prefix format. Refer to the <Italic>FastIron Configuration Guide.
Devices running base layer 3 software
You can configure an IP address on the following types of Base Layer 3 Switch interfaces:
•
Ethernet port
•
Virtual routing interface (also called a Virtual Ethernet or “VE”)
•
Loopback interface
By default, you can configure up to 24 IP addresses on each interface. On Compact Base Layer 3 Switches, you can increase this
amount to up to 64 IP subnet addresses per port by increasing the size of the subnet-per-interface table.
Once you configure a virtual routing interface on a VLAN, you cannot configure Layer 3 interface parameters on individual ports in the
VLAN. Instead, you must configure the parameters on the virtual routing interface itself.
Brocade devices support both classical IP network masks (Class A, B, and C subnet masks, and so on) and Classless Interdomain Routing
(CIDR) network prefix masks.
•
To enter a classical network mask, enter the mask in IP address format. For example, enter
“209.157.22.99 255.255.255.0” for an IP address with a Class-C subnet mask.
•
To enter a prefix network mask, enter a forward slash ( / ) and the number of bits in the mask immediately after the IP address.
For example, enter “209.157.22.99/24” for an IP address that has a network mask with 24 significant bits (ones).
By default, the CLI displays network masks in classical IP address format (example: 255.255.255.0). You can change the display to
prefix format.
Assigning an IP address to an Ethernet port
To assign an IP address to port 0/1/1, enter the following commands:
FastIron(config)#interface ethernet 0/1/1
FastIron(config-if-0/1/1)#ip address 192.45.6.1 255.255.255.0
NOTE
You also can enter the IP address and mask in CIDR format, as follows:
FastIron
(config-if-0/1/1)# ip address 192.45.6.1/24

Syntax: [no] ip address <ip-addr> <ip-mask> [ospf-ignore | ospf-passive | secondary]
or
Syntax: [no] ip address <ip-addr>/<mask-bits> [ ospf-ignore | ospf-passive | secondary]
The ospf-ignore | ospf-passive parameters modify the switch defaults for adjacency formation and interface advertisement. Use one of
these parameters if you are configuring multiple IP subnet addresses on the interface but you want to prevent OSPF from running on
some of the subnets.
•
ospf-passive – This option disables adjacency formation with OSPF neighbors. By default, when OSPF is enabled on an
interface, the software forms OSPF router adjacencies between each primary IP address on the interface and the OSPF
neighbor attached to the interface.
•
ospf-ignore – This option disables OSPF adjacency formation and also disables advertisement of the interface into OSPF. The
subnet is completely ignored by OSPF.
NOTE
The ospf-passive option disables adjacency formation but does not disable advertisement of the interface into OSPF. To disable
advertisement in addition to disabling adjacency formation, you must use the ospf-ignore option.
Use the secondary parameter if you have already configured an IP address within the same subnet on the interface.
NOTE
When you configure more than one address in the same subnet, all but the first address are secondary addresses and do not form
OSPF adjacencies.
Assigning an IP address to a loopback interface
Loopback interfaces are always up, regardless of the states of physical interfaces. They can add stability to the network because they are
not subject to route flap problems that can occur due to unstable links between a Base Layer 3 Switch and other devices. You can
configure up to four loopback interfaces on an FGS device.
You can add up to 24 IP addresses to each loopback interface.
NOTE
If you configure the Brocade device to use a loopback interface to communicate with a BGP4 neighbor, you also must configure
a loopback interface on the neighbor and configure the neighbor to use that loopback interface to communicate with the Brocade
device. To add a loopback interface, enter commands such as those shown in the following example:
FastIron(config-bgp-router)# exit
FastIron(config)# interface loopback 1
FastIron(config-lbif-1)# ip address 10.0.0.1/24
Syntax: interface loopback <num>
The <num> parameter specifies the virtual interface number. You can specify from 1 to the maximum number of virtual interfaces
supported on the device. To display the maximum number of virtual interfaces supported on the device, enter the show default values
command. The maximum is listed in the System Parameters section, in the Current column of the virtual-interface row.
Assigning an IP address to a virtual interface
A virtual interface is a logical port associated with a Layer 3 Virtual LAN (VLAN) configured on a device. You can configure routing
parameters on the virtual interface to enable the switch to route protocol traffic from one Layer 3 VLAN to the other, without using an
external router.

Connecting Network Devices and Checking Connectivity
Configuring IP addresses
This section describes how to configure an IP address on a virtual interface.
NOTE
The Brocade FGS device uses the lowest MAC address on the device (the MAC address of port 1 or 1/1) as the MAC address
for all ports within all virtual interfaces you configure on the device.
To add a virtual interface to a VLAN and configure an IP address on the interface, enter commands such as the following:
FastIron
(config)# vlan 2 name IP-Subnet_1.1.2.0/24
FastIron
(config-vlan-2)# untag e1 to 4
FastIron
(config-vlan-2)# router-interface ve1
FastIron
(config-vlan-2)# interface ve1
FastIron
(config-vif-1)# ip address 1.1.2.1/24
The first two commands in this example create a Layer 3 protocol-based VLAN name “IP-Subnet_1.1.2.0/24” and add a range of
untagged ports to the VLAN. The router-interface command creates virtual interface 1 as the routing interface for the VLAN. The last
two commands change to the interface configuration level for the virtual interface and assign an IP address to the interface.
Syntax: router-interface ve <num>
Syntax: interface ve <num>
Deleting an IP address
To delete an IP address, enter a command such as the following:
FastIron(config-if-e1000-1)# no ip address 1.1.2.1
This command deletes IP address 1.1.2.1. You do not need to enter the subnet mask.
To delete all IP addresses from an interface, enter the following command:
FastIron(config-if-e1000-1)# no ip address *
Syntax: no ip address <ip-addr> | *
Devices running layer 2 software
To configure an IP Address on a device running Layer 2 software:
1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable.
FastIron
> enable
2. Enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level prompt (for example, FastIron Switch#), then press Enter. This
command erases the factory test configuration if still present:
FastIron
# erase startup-config
Use the erase startup-config command only for new systems. If you enter this command on a system you
have already configured, the command erases the configuration. If you accidentally do erase the
configuration on a configured system, enter the write memory command to save the running configuration
to the startup-config file.

Global CONFIG Level
4. Configure the IP address and mask for the switch.
FastIron(config)# ip address 192.22.3.44 255.255.255.0
5. Set a default gateway address for the switch.
FastIron(config)# ip default-gateway 192.22.3.1
NOTE
You do not need to assign a default gateway address for single subnet networks.
Syntax: enable [<password>]
Syntax: configure terminal
Syntax: [no] ip address <ip-addr> <ip-mask>
or
Syntax: [no] ip address <ip-addr>/<mask-bits>
Syntax: ip default-gateway <ip-addr>
Devices running stacking software
FGS-STK devices that are members of an IronStack are managed by the device that is the Active Controller of the stack. There are
several ways to assign an IP address to the Active Controller. For more information about configuring devices in a stack, refer to chapter
4 in the <Italic>FastIron Configuration Guide:
Connecting network devices
Brocade devices support connections to other vendors’ routers, switches, and hubs, as well other Brocade devices.
Connectors and cable specifications
Refer to “Cable specifications” on page 73 for cable lengths and types supported on FGS and FGS-STK devices. For port pinouts, refer
to “10/100/1000 Gigabit port pinouts” on page 72.
Connecting to Ethernet or fast Ethernet Hubs
For copper connections to Ethernet hubs, a 10/100Base-TX or 1000Base-T switch, or another Brocade device, a crossover cable is
required (Figure 1 and Figure 2). If the hub is equipped with an uplink port, it will require a straight-through cable instead of a crossover
cable.
NOTE
The 802.3ab standard (automatic MDI or MDIX detection) calls for automatic negotiation of the connection between two
1000Base-T ports. Therefore, a crossover cable may not be required; a straight-through cable may work as well. For more
information about this feature, refer to the <Italic>FastIron Configuration Guide.

NOTE
The 802.3ab standard calls for automatic negotiation of the connection between two 1000Base-T ports. Consequently, a
crossover cable may not be required; a straight-through cable may work as well.
Connecting to workstations, servers, or routers
Straight-through UTP cabling is required for direct UTP attachment to workstations, servers, or routers using network interface cards
(NICs).
Fiber cabling is required for direct attachment to Gigabit NICs or switches and routers through fiber ports. Refer to “Connecting a network
device to a fiber port” on page 68.
Automatic MDI or MDIX detection
All 10/100 and Gigabit Ethernet Copper ports on FGS and FGS-STK devices support automatic Media Dependent Interface (MDI) and
Media Dependent Interface Crossover (MDIX) detection. This feature is enabled on all 10/100 and Gigabit copper ports by default. For
each port, you can disable auto MDI or MDIX, designate the port as an MDI port, or designate the port as an MDIX port.

Connecting network devices
For more information about this feature and how configure it, refer to the <Italic>FastIron Configuration Guide.
Connecting a network device to a fiber port
For direct attachment from the Brocade device to a Gigabit NIC, switch, or router, fiber cabling with an LC connector is required.
To connect the Brocade device to another network device using a fiber port, you must do the following:
•
Install a fiber optic module (SFP transceiver or mini-GBIC for Gigabit Ethernet ports, or XFP-MSA transceiver for 10-Gigabit
Ethernet ports)
•
Cable the fiber optic module
The following sections provide information about performing these tasks.
Installing a fiber optic module
You must install a fiber optic module (SFP or XFP transceiver) in each Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet fiber port you want to
use.
You can install a new fiber optic module in a port while the Brocade device is powered on and running.
To install a fiber optic module, you will need an ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to a metal surface.
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 meg ohm resistor.
To install a fiber optic module:
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface (such as an equipment rack) to act as
ground.
2. Remove the new module from its protective packaging.
3. Gently insert the fiber optic module into the port until the module clicks into place. The module is keyed to prevent incorrect
insertion.
Cabling a fiber optic module
To cable a fiber optic module:
1. Remove the protective covering from the fiber-optic port connectors and store the covering for future use.
2. Before cabling a fiber optic module, Brocade strongly recommends cleaning the cable connectors and the port connectors. For
more information, refer to “Cleaning the fiber-optic connectors” on page 68.
3. Gently insert the cable connectors (a tab on each connector should face upward) into the port connectors until the tabs lock into
place.
4. Observe the link and active LEDs to determine if the network connections are functioning properly. Refer to Table 2 on page 70.
Cleaning the fiber-optic connectors
To avoid problems with the connection between the fiber optic module (SFP (mini-GBIC) or XFP) and the fiber cable connectors, Brocade
strongly recommends cleaning both connectors each time you disconnect and reconnect them. In particular, dust can accumulate in the
connectors and cause problems such as reducing the optic launch power.
Brocade FastIron GS and GS-STK Hardware Installation Guide 69
Part Number: 53-1002186-03
Connecting Network Devices and Checking Connectivity
Testing connectivity
To clean the fiber cable connectors, Brocade recommends using the fiber-optic cleaner that shipped with your Brocade device. You can
also purchase this type of cleaner from the following Website:
http://www.fisfiber.com
When not using an SFP or XFP connector, make sure to keep the protective covering on.
Using a CX4 transceiver
FGS and FGS-STK devices support a twin-axial 10G copper CX4 XFP transceiver that can be installed in any 10G port.
NOTE
For a link to operate properly, both sides must use identical CX4 transceivers.
The CX4 transceiver requires a 15 meter CX4-grade cable, which may be purchased from Brocade. Refer to part number
CAB-CX4-0050 when ordering.
NOTE
The CX4 transceiver is not hot-swappable.
Testing connectivity
After you install the network cables, you can test network connectivity to other devices by pinging those devices. You also can observe
the LEDs related to network connection and perform trace routes.

Pinging an IP address
To verify that a Brocade device can reach another device through the network, enter a command such as the following at any level of the
CLI on the Brocade device:
FastIron> ping 192.33.4.7
Syntax: ping <ip-addr> | <hostname> [source <ip-addr>] [count <num>] [timeout <msec>] [ttl <num>] [size <byte>] [quiet]
[numeric] [no-fragment] [verify] [data <1-to-4 byte hex>] [brief]
NOTE
If you address the ping to the IP broadcast address, the device lists the first four responses to the ping.
Observing LEDs
After you install the network cables, you can observe certain LEDs to determine if the network connections are functioning properly.
Table 2 describes the LEDs related to network connections, the desired state of each LED, possible abnormal states of each LED, and
what to do if an LED indicates an abnormal state.
If a problem persists after taking these actions, contact Brocade technical support.
TABLE 2 Network Connection-Related LED States
LED Desired
State
Meaning Abnormal

Link (Lnk) On (Green) A link is established with
the remote port.
Off A link is not established with the remote port. You can do the
following:
•
Verify that the connection to the other network device has
been properly made. Also, make certain that the other
network device is powered on and operating correctly.
•
Verify that the transmit port on the Brocade device is
connected to the receive port on the other network device,
and that the receive port on the Brocade device is
connected to the transmit port on the other network device.
If you are not certain, remove the two cable connectors
from the port connector and reinsert them in the port
connector, reversing their order.
•
Dust may have accumulated in the cable connector or port
connector. For information about cleaning the connectors,
refer to “Cleaning the fiber-optic connectors” on page 68.
•
If the other actions do not resolve the problem, try using a
different port or a different cable.

Check the Link LED to make sure the link is still established
with the remote port. If not, take the actions described in
the Meaning or Action column for the Link LED.
•
Verify that the port has not been disabled through a
configuration change. You can use the CLI. If you have
configured an IP address on the device, you also can use
the Web management interface or IronView Network
Manager.

Troubleshooting network connections
Tracing a Route
To determine the path through which a Brocade FGS or FGS-STK device can reach another device, enter a command such as the
following at any level of the CLI on the Brocade device:
FGS 624> traceroute 192.33.4.7
Syntax: traceroute <host-ip-addr> [maxttl <value>] [minttl <value>] [numeric] [timeout <value>]
[source-ip <ip-addr>]
The CLI displays trace route information for each hop as soon as the information is received. Traceroute requests display all responses to
a given TTL. In addition, if there are multiple equal-cost routes to the destination, the Brocade device displays up to three responses by
default.
Troubleshooting network connections
•
For the indicated port, verify that both ends of the cabling (at the Brocade device and the connected device) are snug.
•
Verify that the Brocade device and the connected device are both powered on and operating correctly.
•
Verify that you have used the correct cable type for the connection:
•
For twisted-pair connections to an end node, use straight-through cabling.
•
For fiber-optic connections, verify that the transmit port on the device is connected to the receive port on the connected
device, and that the receive port on the device is connected to the transmit port on the connected device.
•
Verify that the port has not been disabled through a configuration change. You can use the CLI. If you have configured an IP
address on the device, you also can use the Web management interface or IronView Network Manager.
•
For copper ports, you can test the cable using Virtual Cable Testing. Refer to “Using Virtual Cable Testing to diagnose a cable”.
•
If the other procedures do not resolve the problem, try using a different port or a different cable.
Using Virtual Cable Testing to diagnose a cable
NOTE
Virtual Cable Testing is not supported for FGS-STK devices running software version 05.0.01.
FGS devices support Virtual Cable Test (VCT) technology. VCT technology enables you to diagnose a conductor (wire or cable) by
sending a pulsed signal into the conductor, then examining the reflection of that pulse. This method of cable analysis is referred to as Time
Domain Reflectometry (TDR). By examining the reflection, the Brocade device can detect and report cable statistics such as local and
remote link pair, cable length, and link status.
Configuration notes
•
This feature is supported on copper ports only. It is not supported on fiber ports.
•
The port to which the cable is connected must be enabled when you issue the command to diagnose the cable. If the port is
disabled, the command is rejected.
•
If the port is operating at 100 Mbps half-duplex, the TDR test on one pair will fail.
•
If the remote pair is set to forced 100 Mbps, any change in MDI or MDIX may cause the device to interpret the Multilevel
Threshold-3 (MLT-3) as a reflected pulse, in which case, the device will report a faulty condition. In this case, Brocade
recommends that you run the TDR test a few times for accurate results.

Power supply specifications
Power supply specifications
This section contains the following information for the power supplies that ship with FGS and FGS-STK devices.
Overview
Each FGS or FGS-STK switch comes with one alternating-current (AC) or direct-current (DC) power supply, depending on how it was
ordered from the factory. All models have two power supply slots, enabling you to install a second power supply for redundancy (if
applicable) or for more POE power. DC supplies are available for some devices, in which you can use any combination of AC and DC
supplies in the same device. The following power supplies may be installed in your FGS switch:
•
RPS-FGS (AC power supply)
•
RPSDC-FGS (DC power supply)
The power supplies used with POE devices produce extensive power to support 802.3af applications.
Installing the power supply in a device other than a POE device will cause extensive damage to your
equipment.
The power supplies can be swapped in or out of the device while the device is running. You can remove
and insert a power supply without opening the device. If the device contains two power supplies and the
power supplies are redundant, you can remove one of the power supplies without interrupting operation.
The remaining power supply provides enough power for all the ports.
NOTE
A FastIron GS or GS-STK POE device with dual power supplies may not provide redundancy, depending on how much power
the POE ports are consuming. Refer to “Power specifications for POE” on page 26.
Remove the power cord from a power supply before you install it in or remove it from the device.
Otherwise, the power supply or the device could be damaged. The device can be running while a power
supply is being installed or removed, but the power supply itself should not be connected to a power
source.
All power supplies are auto-sensing and auto-switching.
Key features
Refer to “Power supplies” on page 25 for the key features of the FGS power supplies.

Managing the FGS and FGS-STK
Device
Managing temperature settings
This section describes how to display temperature settings on the FGS or FGS-STK device, and how to change the temperature warning
levels.
Using the temperature sensor
FGS and FGS-STK devices come with two built-in temperature sensors; one at the air intake to monitor the incoming air temperature, and
the other at the exhaust, to measure the air temperature as it exits the device. The temperature sensors cause the device to generate a
Syslog message and SNMP trap if the temperature exceeds a specified warning level
The software reads the temperature sensors according to the device poll time, (60 seconds by default). If the temperature equals or
exceeds the warning temperature the software generates a Syslog message and SNMP trap.
You can use the CLI to do the following:
•
Display the temperature of the device
•
Change the warning temperature levels
•
Change the device poll time
Displaying the temperature
By default, the software polls the temperature sensor every 60 seconds to get the current temperature. This poll rate is controlled by the
device poll time, which also controls how often the software polls other system components.
To display the temperature of a device, enter the show chassis command at any level of the CLI.
The following output is from from a standalone FGS device:
The following output is for an IronStack:
