Starting the CLI
To begin running the CLI, perform the following steps:
NOTE:
This procedure is for use on the console line only.
NOTE:
The Easy Setup Wizard is available only when the system is in default state with no user
configuration saved previously.
1
Start the switch and wait until the startup procedure is complete and the User EXEC mode is
entered. The prompt console> is displayed.
2
Configure the switch using the Easy Setup Wizard and enter the necessary commands to
complete the required tasks.
3
When finished, exit the session with the quit or exit command.
The switch can be managed over a direct connection to the switch console port or through a Telnet
connection. If access is through a Telnet connection, the switch must have a defined IP address,
corresponding management access granted, and a connection to the network .
Easy Setup Wizard
The Easy Setup Wizard guides the user in the basic initial configuration of a newly installed switch
so that it can be immediately deployed and functional in its basic operation and be completely
manageable through the Web, CLI and the remote Dell Network Manager. After initial setup, the
user may enter to the system to set up more advanced configurations.
By default the switch is shipped from the factory with an IP address of 192.168.2.1 but the Easy
Setup Wizard provides the opportunity to customize the IP address. Also the system is set up with
default management VLAN ID=1. The initial activation must be done using the serial interface
since, without a unique IP address, the user can not access the other management interfaces.
