configure the system using the CLI.

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.

Accessing the System Remotely

• The S4820T 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 S4820T and Remotely

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
