Default Configuration

Although a version of the Dell Networking OS is pre-loaded on the switch, the system is not configured when you power up the

first time (except for the default hostname, which is Dell). You must configure the system using the CLI.

Configuring a Host Name

The host name appears in the prompt. The default host name is Dell.

● Host names must start with a letter and end with a letter or digit.

● Characters within the string can be letters, digits, and hyphens.

To create a host name, use the following command.

● Create a host name.

CONFIGURATION mode

hostname name

Dell(conf)#hostname R1

R1(conf)#

Accessing the System Remotely

You can configure the system to access it remotely by Telnet or SSH.

● The switch has a dedicated management port and a management routing table that is separate from the IP routing table.

● You can manage all Dell Networking products in-band via the front-end data ports through interfaces assigned an IP address

as well.

Accessing the System Remotely

Configuring the system remotely is a three-step process:

1. Configure an IP address for the management port. Configure the Management Port IP Address

2. Configure a management route with a default gateway. Configure a Management Route

3. Configure a username and password. Configure a Username and Password

Configure the Management Port IP Address

To access the system remotely, assign IP addresses to the management ports.

NOTE: Assign an IP address to the management port.

1. Enter INTERFACE mode for the Management port for RPM 0 (RPM 0 is in slot 10).

CONFIGURATION mode

interface ManagementEthernet 0/0

For RPM 1 (RPM1 in slot 11), configure its Management port:

interface ManagementEthernet 1/0

2. Assign an IP address to the interface.

INTERFACE mode
