2 Configure the switch using the Easy Setup Wizard and enter the necessary commands to complete the required tasks. 3 When finished, exit the session with the quit or exit command. The switch can be managed over a direct connection to the switch console port or through a Telnet connection. If access is through a Telnet connection, the switch must have a defined IP address, corresponding management access granted, and a connection to the network. Easy Setup Wizard The Easy Setup Wizard guides the user in the basic initial configuration of a newly installed switch so that it can be immediately deployed and functional in its basic operation and be completely manageable through the Web, CLI and the remote Dell Network Manager. After initial setup, the user may enter to the system to set up more advanced configurations. By default the switch is shipped from the factory with an IP address of 192.168.2.1 but the Easy Setup Wizard provides the opportunity to customize the IP address. The initial activation must be done using the serial interface since, without a unique IP address, the user can not access the other management interfaces. The wizard sets up the following configuration on the switch: • Establishes the initial privileged user account with a valid password. The wizard configures one privileged user account during the setup. The user may return to add users later. The initial account is given the highest privilege level (level 15). • Enables CLI login and HTTP access to use the local authentication setting only, which allows user account access via these management interfaces. The user may return later to configure Radius or TACACS+. • Sets the IP address for VLAN 1 or enables support for DHCP to configure the IP address dynamically. • Sets up the SNMP community string to be used by the SNMP manager. The user may choose to skip this step if SNMP management is not used. If it is configured, the default access level is set to the highest available access for the SNMP management interface. The user may return later to add to the community string or reconfigure the access level of the community string. Initially only SNMPv1/2c will be activated. SNMPv3 is disabled until the user returns to configure security access for SNMPv3 Using the CLI 191
