Understanding management port functions

Enabling and disabling the interfaces

By default, all router interfaces are disabled. To enable an interface, enter the enable command at

the appropriate interface configuration level of the CLI. For example, to enable the management

interface, enter the enable command at the management interface configuration level of the CLI.

Brocade(config-if-mgmt-1)# enable

Syntax: enable

You can disable each of these interfaces using the disable command at the appropriate interface

configuration level of the CLI. For example, to disable the management port, enter the disable

command at the management interface configuration level of the CLI.

Brocade(config-if-mgmt-1)# disable

Syntax: disable

Understanding management port functions

The management port performs specific functions and is subject to some limitations, as described:

• Because the management port allows you to configure, monitor, and manage routers only, this

port has the same limited functionality as an IP host port.

• You cannot enable and run routing protocols on the management port.

• You cannot configure routes from the management interface.

• The management port uses static IP routes from the interface routing tables.

• If you configure the redistribution of static or directly connected routes for a particular routing

protocol, the protocol redistributes routes associated with the interface module ports, but not

the routes associated with the management port.

To display configuration information and statistics about the management port, enter the show

interface management 1 command at any CLI level.

Connecting the router to a network device

You can connect a router to another Ethernet network device. Brocade MLX Series and Brocade

NetIron XMR routers support connections to other vendors’ devices as well as Brocade network

devices.

The Ethernet interface modules available with Brocade MLX Series and Brocade NetIron XMR

routers are described in “Interface modules” on page 22. These include XFP fiber, SFP and SFP+

fiber, and RJ45 copper interfaces. Details regarding the SFP, SFP+, and XFP fiber-optic transceivers

supported for these interface modules are also described.

To connect a router to another network device, you must do the following:

• Install the fiber-optic modules if required.

• Cable the modules with either copper cable or fiber-optic cable as required.

The following sections provide information about module installation and cabling, as well as how to

clean fiber-optic connectors and troubleshoot network connections.
