Configuring Network Information Using the OOB Port
In this example, an administrator at a Dell office in California decides not to
use the Dell Easy Setup Wizard to perform the initial switch configuration.
The administrator configures Dell EMC Networking N3000E-ON, and
N3100-ON Series switches to obtain information from a DHCP server on the
management network and creates the administrative user with read/write
access. The administrator also configures the following information:
• Primary DNS server: 10.27.138.20
• Secondary DNS server: 10.27.138.21
• Default domain name: sunny.dell.com
The administrator also maps the administrative laptop host name to its IP
address. The administrator uses the OOB port to manage the switch.
To configure the switch:
1 Connect the OOB port to the management network. DHCP is enabled by
on the switch OOB interface by default on Dell EMC Networking
N3000E-ON, and N3100-ON Series switches. DHCP is enabled on VLAN
1 on the Dell EMC Networking N1100-ON/N1500/N2000/N2100-ON
S eries switches, as they do not support an OOB interface. If the DHCP
client on the switch has been disabled, use the following commands to
enable the DHCP client on the OOB port.
console#configure
console(config)#interface out-of-band
console(config-if)#ip address dhcp
console(config-if)#exit
2 Configure the administrative user.
console(config)#username admin password secret123 privilege 15
NOTE: Dell EMC Networking N1100-ON, N1500, N2000, and N2100-ON Series
switches do not have an out-of-band interface.
