Configuration Overview

Your switch supports a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Out-of-Band (OOB) management port that is

connected directly to the device. This port supports system-administrator management

applications. The Out-of-Band port is treated as an IP interface to the system, and all management

interfaces are available over this port. The Out-of-Band port does not support user traffic. Packets

are not switched or routed from any in-band port (Ethernet port other than Out-of-Band) to the

Out-of-Band port.

Before configuring the device, obtain the following information from the network administrator:

•

IP address of the Out-of-Band port

•

IP subnet mask for the network

•

Default gateway (next hop router) IP address for configuring the default route

There are two types of configuration: Initial configuration consists of configuration functions with

basic security considerations, whereas advanced configuration includes dynamic IP configuration

and more advanced security considerations.

NOTICE:

After making any configuration changes, the new configuration must be saved before

rebooting. To save the configuration, enter:

console#

copy running-config startup-config

Initial Configuration

The initial configuration can be done using the Setup Wizard or the CLI. The Setup Wizard is

automatically entered when the device configuration file is empty. CLI can be invoked by entering

[ctrl+z].

This guide shows how to use the Setup Wizard for initial device configuration. The Setup Wizard

configures the following fields.

•

SNMP Community String and SNMP Management System IP address (optional)

•

Username and Password

•

Device IP address

•

Out-of-Band’s default gateway address

After the device completes the POST and is booted, the following is displayed:

Welcome to Dell Easy Setup Wizard

The Setup Wizard guides you through the initial switch

configuration, and gets you up and running easily and quickly.

You can also skip the setup wizard, and enter CLI mode to

manually configure the switch if you prefer.

You can exit the Setup Wizard at any time by entering [ctrl+Z].
