To configure a username and password:
Access the S-Series Remotely
The S-Series does not have a dedicated management port nor a separate management routing table.
Configure any port on the S-Series to be the port through which you manage the system and configure an
IP route to that gateway.
Configuring the system for Telnet access is a three-step process:
1. Configure an IP address for the port through which you will manage the system using the command
ip
address
from INTERFACE mode, as shown in the example below.
2. Configure a IP route with a default gateway using the command
ip route from CONFIGURATION
mode, as shown in the example below.
3. Configure a username and password using the command
username from CONFIGURATION mode, as
shown in the example below.
R5(conf)#int gig 0/48
R5(conf-if-gi-0/48)#ip address 10.11.131.240
R5(conf-if-gi-0/48)#show config

encrypted using a Type 7 hash. Obtaining the
encrypted password from the configuration of
another Dell Force10system.
CONFIGURATION

E-Series systems. Refer to Access the C-Series, E-Series, S-Series, and the Z-Series Remotely
