Configuring Dell PowerConnect

77

The system is not setup for SNMP management by default. To manage the

switch using SNMP (required for Dell Network Manager) you can

. Set up the initial SNMP version 2 account now.

. Return later and setup other SNMP accounts. (For more information on

setting up an SNMP version 1 or 3 account, see the user documentation).

Would you like to setup the SNMP management interface now? [Y/N] n

Step 2:

Now we need to setup your initial privilege (Level 15) user account. This

account is used to login to the CLI and Web interface. You may setup

other accounts and change privilege levels later. For more information on

setting up user accounts and changing privilege levels, see the user

documentation.

To setup a user account:

Please enter the user name. [root]:root

Please enter the user password:

Please reenter the user password:

Step 3:

Next, an IP address is setup. The IP address is defined on the default

VLAN (VLAN #1), of which all ports are members. This is the IP address

you use to access the CLI, Web interface, or SNMP interface for the

switch. Optionally you may request that the system automatically

retrieve an IP address from the network via DHCP (this requires that you

have a DHCP server running on the network).

To setup an IP address:

Please enter the IP address of the device (A.B.C.D) or enter "DHCP"

(without the quotes) to automatically request an IP address from the

network DHCP server. [192.168.2.1]:

Please enter the IP subnet mask (A.B.C.D or /nn). [255.255.255.0]:

Step 4:

Finally, setup the default gateway. Please enter the IP address of the

gateway from which this network is reachable. [0.0.0.0]:
