IBM 8265 ATM switch
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 ibm8265_01#
Reboot is not needed, access to telnet will now work. Note, ssh is not supported.

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.

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.
