18
Ping CommandHelpful when trying to verify connectivity
– Cannot be entered when in “configure” mode
– A few sample PING commands:FastIron> ping 192.190.10.10
FastIron# ping 192.190.10.10 count 100
FastIron> ping 192.190.10.10 size 1200
FastIron# ping 192.190.10.10 ttl 5 c 10 s 200
– Issues 10 pings with a time to live of 5 and each ping is 200 bytes
long
– Use “?” after the address for other options• ping <ip addr> [count <num>] [timeout <msec>] [ttl <num>] [size
<byte>] [no-fragment] [quiet] [verify] [data <1-to-4 byte hex#, e.g.
abcdef00>]

CLI Basics - Passwords
Factory Default = no passwords
Passwords can be up to 32 characters long
Multiple levels of password access– Access depends on which password you use
• Super User - Unlimited access, can change all parameters• Configure Port - Change interface level parameters • Read Only - View only, no changing allowed
BigIron(config)# enable super-user-password SuPswdBigIron(config)# enable port-config-password PCPswdBigIron(config)# enable read-only-password ROPswd
BigIron> enable PCPswdorBigIron> enable Password:
• If the system password is not yet set, the system warns youBigIron> enableNo password has been assigned yet...
FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY© 2009 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
20
Password Examples• Defining the Super-User password
ServerIron(config)#enable super-user-password SuPswdServerIron(config)#quitServerIron> enable SuPswd
• Port Config privilege only shows a limited set of commandsServerIron(config)#enable port-config-password PCPswdServerIron>enable PCPswdServerIron#conf tServerIron(config)#?
• Read Only privilege doesn’t allow you to go to Configuration LevelServerIron(config)#enable read-only-password ROPswdServerIron>enable ROPswd ServerIron#?

CLI Basics - Passwords, recovering
You can recover from a forgotten password
– Requires direct access to the Serial Port and a System Reset
Have terminal session plugged into serial port, then:• Reboot the system
• Within 2 seconds, enter ‘b’ to initiate the boot monitor
BOOT MONITOR> no password (cannot be abbreviated)
BOOT MONITOR> boot system flash primary
This bypasses the system password checkFastIron> enableNo password has been assigned yet…
FastIron#
Reassign Super-User password & save configFastIron(config)#enab super-user NewPassword (assigns a new password)
FastIron(config)#write memory
FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY© 2009 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
22
Also specify passwords for:– Telnet Access
FastIron(config)#enable telnet password TelNetPswd
– Where Passwords can be changed fromFastIron(config)#password-change serial-port-only
• options: <any|serial-port-only|telnet-only>
Usernames / Password combinations– Specify Username, Password and Privilege Level
(config)#username BigKahuna priv 0 password BKpswd
• Privilege level: 0=Super-User, 4=Port-Config, 5=Read-only
– A Super-User account (or Super-User enable password) must be set before you can create lower-access accounts
– Passwords are stored in Config File ENCRYPTED (default)• or you can turn off encryption
(config)# no service password-encryption
– See “aaa authentication” command to enable Usernames
CLI Basics - Passwords
FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY© 2009 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
23
Passwords - aaa authentication typesAuthentication for the following access types
• Syntax:
• aaa authentication <snmp-server|web-server|enable|login> default<method1> [<method2> <method2> <method3> <method4> <method5> <method6>
<method7> ]
• aaa authentication {what access} default {how to validate}
aaa authentication snmp-server ...– SNMP applications - IronView, HPOV, Spectrum, etc.
aaa authentication web-server ...– Web Browser to Brocade Switches and Routers
aaa authentication enable ...– “enable” command to gain Priviledged EXEC and CONFIG level access
aaa authentication login ...– TELNET access to the Brocade Switch/Router
FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY© 2009 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
24
Passwords - aaa authentication methodsAthentication methods
• Syntax:• aaa authentication <snmp-server|web-server|enable|login> default
<method1> [<method2> <method2> <method3> <method4> <method5> <method6> <method7> ]
– If a method is NOT configured, use the next methodNOTE: not if it fails, not configured
tacacs, tacacs+, radius– Query a TACACS, TACACS+ or RADIUS server for
username/password local– Use locally defined username/password combinations
line– Use the TELNET access password
enable– Use the “enable” passwords (super-user, port-config, read-only)
FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY© 2009 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
25
Passwords - aaa authentication examplesSyntax:– aaa authentication {what access} default {how to validate}
Examples
aaa authentication login default local
• For TELNET access (“login”), use the locally defined usernames
aaa authentication enable default radius local
• To gain privileged EXEC/CONFIG access (“enable” command), query a configured RADIUS server; if not configured, fallback to locally defined usernames
aaa authentication web default radius local enable
• The Web Browser will first look at 1) RADIUS usernames, if not configured, 2) locally defined usernames, if not configured3) use the “enable” super-user, port-config, and read-only passwords

26
SNMP Configuration
SNMP required information:FastIron(config)# ip address 192.22.33.45 255.255.255.0
FastIron(config)# ip default-gateway 192.22.33.1
FastIron(config)# snmp-server contact “Bill Clinton”
FastIron(config)# snmp-server location the_white_house
FastIron(config)# snmp-server host 192.22.33.55 public
FastIron(config)# snmp-server community notsafe ro
FastIron(config)# snmp-server community safe rw
Note:The first two commands are valid for switches only. Routers would assign an IP address at the interface level, not at the global level.
NetIron(config) interface ethernet 9NetIron(config-if-9)# ip address 192.22.33.45 255.255.255.0
FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY© 2009 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
27
Web Browser GUI ConfigUse Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer– Platform Independent (PC, Macintosh, Unix)– Graphical alternative to the CLI– Username & Password Access– Only one session
can be Read/Write– Multiple Read-
only sessions(password protected access)
FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY© 2009 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
28
Web Browser GUI Config - Passwords
Web Browser Username/Password– Read-only default Username/Password:
• Username : getPassword : public
– Must set a password via the Command Line Interface (CLI)• The default WEB GUI passwords are the SNMP Community names
BigIron(config)# snmp-server community notsafe ro
BigIron(config)# snmp-server community safe rw
Requires an IP address to “Web” to• Use the Serial Port to configure IP address
• Switches - IP address applies to all ports by default
• Routers - IP address is specific to one port (or group of ports)
FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY© 2009 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
29
Controlling Access
You can restrict Web,Telnet and SNMP access to a single management address:– BigIron(config)#web client 209.157.22.39– BigIron(config)#snmp-client 209.157.22.14– BigIron(config)#telnet client 209.157.22.26– BigIron(config)#all-client 209.157.22.69 for all three types
To disable Management completely:– BigIron(config)#no web-management– BigIron(config)#no telnet server– BigIron(config)#no snmp-server

IP traffic load balanced by Src & Dest IP address. All other type of traffic, balance by Src MAC only
Non-IP traffic: If most of the traffic comes in through a single router, the router’s MAC is the source address, not the stations behind it.The Trunk group provides redundancy, but not load balancing
