In the web interface, navigate to Configuration > Trunk and view the trunks that you just defined in the CLI.Īttach network cables between the pairs of ports on the switch to the service and aggregated service ports on each KMA that should contain aggregated service ports. For example:īrocade(config)#trunk ethernet 1/1 to 1/2 If no VLAN was created on the ports, then the trunk commands should not have the leading '1/'. In this example, the ports had been put into VLAN 1, as indicated by the leading '1/' in the trunk commands. Configure a trunk group for each KMA that should include aggregated service ports.īrocade(config)#trunk ethernet 1/1/1 to 1/1/2īrocade(config)#trunk ethernet 1/1/3 to 1/1/4 Use ssh to access the management IP address of the switch to launch its CLI. Navigate to Configuration > RSTP and view the Ethernet ports. Start a web browser and connect to the switch at the IP address you established in the pre-configuration requirements above.Įnable (RSTP) as shown in the following steps.Įnsure that Spanning Tree is Disabled and 802.1W is Enabled. Follow the ICX 6430 instructions in step 3.Ĭonfigure the Brocade switch to use the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), which was standardized by IEEE 802.1W.Īfter you perform the following steps, refer to the Brocade ICX 6430 and ICX 6450 Web Configuration QuickStart Guide for additional information about configuring Brocade ICX 6430 switches. See the Brocade ICXĦ430 and ICX 6450 Stackable Switches Hardware Installation Guide.īefore you configure the switch, follow steps 1 - 4 in the Brocade ICX 6430 and ICX 6450 Web Management Interface User Guide and the section on Prerequisite Configuration to attach a PC to the switch and assign an IP address to the management port using its Command Line Interface (CLI). Use the Brocade documentation to properly install the switch.
