Example
In this example, an administrator at a Dell office in California decides not to
use the Dell Easy Setup Wizard to perform the initial switch configuration.
The administrator configures a PowerConnect
M6220/M6348/M8024/M8024-k switch to obtain its information from a
DHCP server on the network and creates the administrative user with
read/write access. The administrator also configures the following
information:
• Primary DNS server: 10.27.138.20
• Secondary DNS server: 10.27.138.21
• Default domain name: sunny.dell.com
The administrator also maps the administrative laptop host name to its IP
address. The administrator uses the OOB port to manage the switch.
To configure the switch:
1 Make sure the OOB port on the chassis controller is connected to the
management network. DHCP is enabled by on the switch OOB interface
by default. If the DHCP client on the switch has been disabled, use the
following commands to enable the DHCP client on the OOB port.
console#configure
console(config)#interface out-of-band
console(config-if)#ip address dhcp
console(config-if)#exit
2 Configure the administrative user.
console(config)#username admin password secret123
level 15
3 Configure the DNS servers, default domain name, and static host
mapping.
console(config)#ip name-server 10.27.138.20
10.27.138.21
console(config)#ip domain-name sunny.dell.com
console(config)#ip host admin-laptop 10.27.65.103
console(config)#exit
