Configuring Basic Network Information (CLI)
This section provides information about the commands used for configuring
basic network information on the Dell EMC Networking N-Series switches.
For more information about these commands, see the Dell EMC Networking
N1100-ON, N1500, N2000, N2100-ON, N3000, N3100-ON, and N4000 Series
Switches CLI Reference Guide at www.dell.com/support.
Enabling the DHCP Client on the OOB Port
Use the following commands to enable the DHCP client on the OOB port.
Enabling the DHCP Client on the Default VLAN
Use the following commands to enable the DHCP client on the default
VLAN, which is VLAN 1. As a best practice, it is recommended that a
separate VLAN other than one used for client traffic be used for in-band
management of the switch. In general, using VLAN 1, or any other VLAN
carrying client traffic, for in-band management introduces a security
vulnerability.
NOTE: Dell EMC Networking N1100-ON, N1500, N2000, and N2100-ON Series
switches do not have an out-of-band interface.
