Example Session

This section describes an Easy Setup Wizard session. Refer to the state diagram in the previous
section for general flow. The following values used by the example session are not the only possible
ones:

IP address for the management VLAN is 192.168.1.100:255.255.255.0.

The user name is admin, and the password should be 8-64 characters in length.

The network management system IP address is 192.168.1.10.

The default gateway is 192.168.1.1.

The SNMP community string to be used is Dell_Network_Manager.

The setup wizard configures the initial values as defined above. After the user completes the
wizard, the system is configured as follows:

SNMPv1/2c is enabled and the community string is set up as defined above. SNMPv3 is
disabled.

The admin user account is set up as defined.

A network management system is configured. From this management station, the user
can access the SNMP, HTTP, and CLI interfaces. The user may also choose to allow all IP
addresses to access these management interfaces by choosing the (0.0.0.0) IP address.

An IP address is configured for the default management VLAN (1).

A default gateway address is configured.

The following example contains the sequence of prompts and responses associated with running an
example Dell Easy Setup Wizard session, using the input values listed above. Note in this case a
static IP address for the management interface is being set up. However it may be requested that
the system automatically retrieve an IP address via DHCP. If DHCP is used, the system does not
request a network mask or default gateway. In this example, the user employs the setup wizard to
configure the initial values as defined above.

NOTE:

In the example, the possible user options are enclosed in [ ]. Also, where possible, default values

are enclosed in []. If the user enters <Return> with no options defined, the default value is accepted. Help
text is in parentheses.

After the switch completes the POST and is booted, the following dialog appears:

Welcome to Dell Easy Setup Wizard

The setup wizard guides you through the initial switch

configuration, and gets you up and running as quickly as possible.

You can skip the setup wizard, and enter CLI mode to manually

configure the switch. You must respond to the next question to run

the setup wizard within 60 seconds, otherwise the system will

continue with normal operation using the default system

configuration.
