Pin Assignments

You can connect to the console using a RJ-45 to RJ-45 rollover cable and a RJ-45 to DB-9 female DTE adapter to a terminal server (for

example, a PC).

The pin assignments between the console and a DTE terminal server are as follows:

Default Conguration

Although a version of Dell EMC Networking OS is pre-loaded onto the system, the system is not congured when you power up the system

rst time (except for the default hostname, which is DellEMC). You must congure the system using the CLI.

Conguring a Host Name

The host name appears in the prompt. The default host name is DellEMC.

• Host names must start with a letter and end with a letter or digit.

• Characters within the string can be letters, digits, and hyphens.

To create a host name, use the hostname name command in Conguration mode.

hostname command example

DellEMC(conf)#hostname R1

R1(conf)#

Accessing the System Remotely

You can congure the system to access it remotely by Telnet or secure shell (SSH).

• The platform has a dedicated management port and a management routing table that is separate from the IP routing table.

• You can manage all Dell EMC Networking products in-band via the front-end data ports through interfaces assigned an IP address as

well.
