Accessing the Ethernet Management Port
The S2410 includes the Ethernet Management port on the right front of the
chassis (labeled 10/100 Ethernet) that is dedicated to switch management. With
a standard RJ-45 Ethernet cable, connect it to any Ethernet port in your network
through which you can access the switch via a Telnet, SSH, SNMP, or Web
client.
For details on configuring the port (setting up an IP address to it) for
management access, refer to the
SFTOS Configuration Guide for the S2410.
Default Configuration
A version of SFTOS is pre-loaded onto the chassis, however the system is not
configured when you power up for the first time (except for the default host
name, which is Force10). You must configure the system using the CLI.
Configure Layer 2 (Data Link) Mode
When the switch is first installed, all ports are disabled. To enable all ports in
Layer 2, enter the no shutdown all command in Global Config mode.
Alternatively, you can use the no shutdown command in Interface Config
mode.
