Starting and Configuring the Switch

The Dell Networking X1008/18/26 and equivalent PoE versions have a Mode

push button that toggles between Managed and Unmanaged Modes. The

MGMT LED is on when the switch is in Managed Mode and is off when in

Unmanaged Mode. To configure the switch while in Managed Mode, see the

following sections.

NOTE:

Release notes and user documentation can be downloaded from

dell.com/support.

CAUTION:

Do not plug a phone jack connector into an RJ-45 port. This will

damage the Ethernet switch. Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors

that conform to FCC standards.

To connect the switch to the network:

•

Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable to the switch's RJ-45 connector and

the other end of a twisted-pair cable to another switch or server.

As each connection is made, the link LED corresponding to each port on the

switch is illuminated (green or amber) indicating that the connection is valid.

Initial Configuration Through the Web

management GUI.
