Performing The N30Xx Initial Configuration; Enabling Remote Management - Dell N20 serie Handbuch Zum Einstieg

Performing the N30xx Initial Configuration

The initial configuration procedure is based on the following assumptions:
• The Dell Networking switch was never configured before.
• The Dell Networking switch booted successfully.
• The console connection was established, and the Dell Easy Setup Wizard
prompt appears on the screen of a VT100 terminal or terminal equivalent.
The initial switch configuration is performed through the console port. After
the initial configuration, you can manage the switch from the already-
connected console port or remotely through an interface defined during the
initial configuration.
NOTE:
The switch is not configured with a default user name or password. The
default IP address is set to DHCP for the out-of-band
Before setting up the initial configuration of the switch, obtain the following
information from your network administrator:
• The IP address to be assigned to the management interface.
• The IP subnet mask for the network.
• The IP address of the management interface default gateway.
These settings are necessary to allow the remote management of the switch
through Telnet (Telnet client) or HTTP (Web browser).

Enabling Remote Management

The N30xx switch's front panel contains a Gigabit Ethernet port for OOB
management. The OOB port is located to the right of the console port. On
the N30xx switches, you can use the OOB port or any of the switch ports on
the front panel for in-band management. By default, all in-band ports are
members of VLAN 1.
The Dell Easy Setup Wizard includes prompts to configure network
information for the OOB management interface on the N30xx switch and the
VLAN 1 interface on the N30xx switches. For either management interface,
you can assign a static IP address and subnet mask or enable DHCP and allow
a network DHCP server to assign the information.
See the CLI Reference Guide for information about the CLI commands you
use to configure network information.
