About This Document

This guide discusses and provides examples on how to configure, monitor,

and maintain Dell EMC Networking N-Series switches by using web-based

Dell EMC OpenManage Switch Administrator utility or the command-line

interface (CLI).

Examples given in this guide may not include complete CLI syntax as the

preference is to present CLI syntax relevant to the configuration task. Refer to

the Dell EMC Networking N1100-ON, N1500, N2000, N2100-ON, N3000,

NOTE: Switch administrators are strongly advised to maintain Dell EMC

Networking N-Series switches on the latest version of the Dell EMC Networking

Operating System. Dell EMC Networking continually improves the features and

functions based on feedback from you, the customer. For critical infrastructure,

prestaging of a new release into a non-critical portion of the network is

recommended to verify network configuration and operation with any new

version of Dell EMC Networking N-Series switch firmware.
