•
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).
Enable Remote Management
On the N20xx switches, you can use any of the switch ports on the I/O-side for in-band management. By default, all in-band ports are
members of virtual local area network 1 (VLAN 1)..
The Dell Easy Setup Wizard includes prompts to configure network information for the VLAN 1 interface on the N20xx switch. You can
assign a static IP address and subnet mask or enable the dynamic host configuration protocol (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 using the Dell Easy Setup Wizard or 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.
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 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 installation guide
describes 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 simple network management protocol (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 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 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.
The wizard configures the initial values. After completing the wizard, the switch is configured as follows:
•
SNMPv2 is enabled and the community string is set up. SNMPv3 is disabled by default.
•
The admin user account is set up as defined.
•
A network management system is configured. From the management station, you can access the SNMP, HTTP, and CLI interfaces.
You may also choose to allow all IP addresses to access these management interfaces by choosing the (0.0.0.0) IP address.
