===== Set ip address on ethernet port =====
Note subnet mask needs to be entered in hex! i.e. 255.255.255.0 == ff.ff.ff.00
ibm8265_01# set device ip_address eth 192.168.1.27 ff.ff.ff.00
IP address and mask set
ibm8265_01# set device default_gateway 192.168.1.1
Default gateway set

Reboot is not needed, access to telnet will now work. Note, ssh is not supported.
$ telnet ibm8265-01
Trying 192.168.1.27...

Module 13 is disabled, let's enable and disable it (connected and isolated in IBM speak):-
ibm8265_01# set module 13 connected
Slot 13:Module set
ibm8265_01#
ibm8265_01# set module 13 isolated
Slot 13:Module set
ibm8265_01#
Isolated means it can be swapped whilst the chassis is powered on. Slots 1 - 17 are for network modules, slots 18 & 19 are for power control modules. Note that slots 9 & 10 HAVE to be used for the CPSW module in single fabric mode, if a redundant CPSW module is fitted, it has to go in slots 11 & 12.
===== Show port status =====
Port 17.1 is connected to a Fore / Marconi PCA200e 155MB/s pci card on a computer running Centos 6.5, seen below, atmsigd has been started but not ilmid, in the second example, ilmid has been started.

===== Set port config =====
I want to set blade 15, port 1 to be a UNI port so it can speak to a network adapter, but it is currently set to PNNI to talk to another switch:-
ibm8265_01# show port 15.1
Type Mode Status
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15.01:PNNI enabled DOWN:Establishing
ibm8265_01#
ibm8265_01# set port 15.1 disable
15.01:Port set
ibm8265_01# set port 15.1 enable uni
15.01:Port set
ibm8265_01# show port 15.1 verbose
Type Mode Status
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15.01: UNI enabled DOWN:Establishing
UNI Type : Private
Signalling Version : Auto
ILMI status : DOWN:Establishing
.....edited.....
So now it is set to UNI, but no ILMI so far, this is because the far end has not had ilmid started.
===== Saving Configuration =====
Changes are activated immediately they are made, but are not saved to nv ram so will be lost on a device reload. There are several save options, but save all does the lot in one go.
ibm8265_01# save all

==== LANE ====
LAN Emulation is defined in a Lan Emulation Server (LES), and the atm address where it is running is found through a Lan Emulation Configuration Server (LECS).
The CPSW module can run one LES, but no LECS, however the [[networking:ibm8210-mss|8210]] MSS module can run many LES for both ethernet and token ring, and consequently needs to run a LECS.
The LECS atm address is usually the "Well Known Address", this is used for service discovery and is
47.00.79.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.a0.3e.00.00.01.00
but you already knew that :-} It's well known!
