•
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 I/O-side 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 I/O-side 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.
For information about the CLI commands you use to configure network information, see the CLI Reference Guide .
Initial Configuration Procedure
You can 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. You can exit the wizard at any point by entering ctrl+z, but all configuration settings specified are
discarded, and the switch uses 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. You must reset the switch with an empty startup configuration 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 installation 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 OOB management interface.
•
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 the SNMP manager uses at a given IP address. You may choose to skip this step if you do not
use SNMP management for this switch.
•
Allows you to specify 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.
Example Session
This section describes a Dell Easy Setup Wizard session. The example session uses the following values:
•
The SNMP community string is public.
•
The network management system (NMS) IP address is 10.1.2.100.
•
The user name is admin, and the password is admin123.
•
The OOB management interface uses DHCP for IP address assignment.
•
The IP address for the VLAN 1 routing interface is 10.1.1.200 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
•
The default gateway is 10.1.1.1
