Initial Configuration Procedure - Dell Networking N1500 Serie Handbuch Zum Einstieg

Initial Configuration Procedure

Perform the initial configuration by using the Dell Easy Setup Wizard or by
using the CLI. The wizard automatically starts when the switch configuration
file is empty. It is possible to exit the wizard at any point by entering [ctrl+z],
but all configuration settings specified will be discarded, and the switch will
use the default values.
NOTE:
If you do not run the Dell Easy Setup Wizard or do not respond to the initial
Easy Setup Wizard prompt within 60 seconds, the switch enters CLI mode. Reset the
switch with an empty startup configuration in order to rerun the Dell Easy Setup
Wizard.
For more information about performing the initial configuration by using the
CLI, see the CLI Reference Guide. This Getting Started Guide shows how to
use the Dell Easy Setup Wizard for initial switch configuration. 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.
• Enables CLI login and HTTP access to use the local authentication
setting only.
• Sets up the IP address for the VLAN 1 routing interface, of which all
in-band ports are members.
• Sets up the SNMP community string to be used by the SNMP manager at
a given IP address. You may choose to skip this step if SNMP management
is not used for this switch.
• Specifies the network management system IP address or permit
management access from all IP addresses.
• Configures the default gateway IP address for the VLAN 1 interface.
