Dell PowerConnect 3348 User's Guide - Page 49

Initial Configuration Initial configuration starts after the device has booted successfully. The initial configuration scope for the device includes: • Static IP address and Subnet Mask • Default gateway • User name and privilege level must be configured to allow remote management. If the device is to be managed from an SNMP-based management station, SNMP community strings must also be configured. Static IP Address and Subnet Mask In PowerConnect 3324/3348 devices, IP interfaces can be configured on each port and no limitation on the number of IP interfaces is imposed. After entering the configuration command, it is recommended to check if a port was configured with the IP address by entering the "show ip interface" command. NOTICE: Only one VLAN can be assigned an IP address. If you assign an address to any other VLAN, the new address overrides the original IP address. To configure an interface on a VLAN, enter the commands at the system prompt as shown in the following configuration example: console> enable console# configure console(config)# interface vlan 1 console(config-if)# ip address 100.1.1.1 /8 console(config-if)# exit console(config)# exit console# show ip interface Configuring the PowerConnect 3324/3348 Switch 49
