- mask is a subnet mask in /prefix-length format (/ xx). - gateway is the next hop for network traffic originating from the management port. Configuring a Username and Password To access the C9010 remotely, configure a system user name and password. • Configure a user name and password to access the switch remotely. CONFIGURATION mode Dell(conf)# username username password [encryption-type] password An encryption-type parameter is not necessary because it is 0 by default, which allows you to enter the password in clear text. Configure Layer 2 (Data Link) Mode To enable Layer 2 data transmissions on a specified interface, use the switchport command in INTERFACE mode. You cannot configure switching or Layer 2 protocols, such as the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), on an interface unless the interface has been set to Layer 2 mode. 1. Enter interface configuration mode. CONFIGURATION mode Dell(conf)# interface tengigabitethernet 1/6 2. Enable the interface. INTERFACE mode Dell(conf-if-te-1/6)# no shutdown 3. Place the interface in Layer 2 (switching) mode. INTERFACE mode Dell(conf-if-te-1/6)# switchport To view the interfaces in Layer 2 mode, enter the show interfaces switchport command in EXEC or EXEC Privilege mode: Dell# show interfaces switchport Splitting QSFP+ Ports into SFP+ Ports On a 6-Port 40GbE QSFP+ line card, you can split a single 40GbE QSFP+ port into four 10GbE SFP+ ports using one of the supported breakout cables. For a list of supported optics, contact your Dell Networking representative or reseller. A 40GbE (quad) port must be in a default configuration before you can split it into four 10GbE SFP+ ports. When you split the port, the 40GbE interface configuration is lost in the running configuration. The CLI split-port change immediately takes effect due to the dynamic fan-out feature; it is not necessary to reload the system. Be sure that you also remove the 40GbE port from other L2/L3 feature configurations. • Configure the switch to recognize the port mode change. Configuring the Software 51
