Setup Guide
IP Settings
To set up the switch, get the following information from your network 
administrator:
• Switch IP address
• Subnet mask (IP netmask)
• Default gateway (router)
• Enable secret password

Navigating CLI Modes
The Dell Networking OS prompt changes to indicate the CLI mode.
You must move linearly through the command modes, except for the end 
command which takes you directly to EXEC Privilege mode and the exit 
command which moves you up one command mode level.
Accessing the Console
The RS-232 console ports are on the left-hand side of the S6100–ON system 
as you face the PSU side of the chassis, as shown in the following illustration.
