SolutionHey Abraham,
When you use the Windows Toolkit or CLI to install the array - you will be prompted for the management IP address and the IP address for each controller (A and B). Obviously both should be on a routable VLAN
Let us know if you have any more queries
Cheers
Rich

Re: How to Assign Support IP Address
Hey Abraham,
We don't specifically have a support matrix for IP switches (unlike Fibre Channel where compatibility matrixes are essential).
We do specify some guidelines when selecting a switch. That is available on the Networking Best Practices document which is available off InfoSight.
http://www.nimblestorage.com/docs/downloads/bpg_nimble_storage_networking.pdf
Generally though - you should look for these qualities in your switch:
- Non blocking backplane (ie, 16 ports at 1GbE Full duplex will be a back place support of 32Gigabits per second)
- Support for Flow Control (802.3x)
- Buffers per port (a minimum of 512K buffers per port)
- Support for Jumbo Frames
- Ability to Disable Unicast Storm Control
I personally haven't had too much experience with Brocade IP switches (that shouldn't be read a good or a bad thing!!) - hopefully someone can chime in on the thread to share their experience. I have seen some internal chat we've had on them and they seem good switches (just ensure you have an appropriate number of ports licenses and use brocade cables - which based on my experience would good advice to apply to HP and Cisco too !!).
Hope this helps
Rich
