How command information is presented in this guide
For all new content supported in NetIron Release 05.6.00 and later, command information is
documented in a standalone command reference guide.
In an effort to provide consistent command line interface (CLI) documentation for all products, Brocade
is in the process of completing a standalone command reference for the NetIron platforms. This
process involves separating command syntax and parameter descriptions from configuration tasks.
Until this process is completed, command information is presented in two ways:
• For all new content supported in NetIron Release 05.6.00 and later, the CLI is documented in
separate command pages included in the NetIron Command Reference. Command pages are
compiled in alphabetical order and follow a standard format to present syntax, parameters, usage
guidelines, examples, and command history.
NOTE
Many commands from previous NetIron releases are also included in the command reference.
• Legacy content in configuration guides continues to include command syntax and parameter
descriptions in the chapters where the features are documented.

Introduction
Network planners today have to expand and extend the range of services offered further into the edge
of the network. This requires extending the intelligence and high-touch processing capabilities to the
network edge-- whether in a metro network, a campus network or in a data center. The challenge at the
edge of the network is compounded by the need to flexibly define and easily manage customer services
in an intuitive manner. Further, of many rollouts. Whether deployed from a central office or from remote
huts, space is an important constraint for such providers.
In order to meet these challenges, the NetIron Carrier Ethernet Switch (CES) 2000 Series and NetIron
Carrier Ethernet Router (CER) 2000 Series were purpose-built to offer flexible, secure and advanced
processing capabilities in a compact form factor. The Brocade NetIron CES Series 2000 and Brocade
NetIron CER Series 2000 Series are compact 1 RU, multi-service edge or aggregation devices with a
powerful set of capabilities chosen to combine performance with rich functionality at the edge of the
network. The Brocade NetIron CES Series 2000 Series and Brocade NetIron CER Series 2000 Series
devices offer network planners a rich set of high-performance IPv4, Classic Layer 2, Provider Bridge
(PB) and Provider Backbone Bridge (PBB) functionalities in the same device. With these capabilities, a
diverse set of applications ranging from metro edge networks, ISPs, data centers, large enterprises,
government networks, and education or research can be addressed with the Brocade NetIron CES
Series 2000 Series and Brocade NetIron CER Series 2000 Series.
This guide includes procedures for installing the hardware and configuring essential, basic parameters
such as permanent passwords and IP addresses. The basic software configuration procedures show
how to perform tasks using the CLI. This guide also includes instructions for managing and maintaining
the NetIron Carrier Ethernet Switch (CES) and NetIron Carrier Ethernet Router (CER) hardware.
There are eight flavors to the NetIron Carrier Ethernet Switch (CES) 2000 Series:
