Default Configuration
Although a version of Dell EMC Networking OS is pre-loaded onto the system, the system is not configured when you power up
the system first time (except for the default hostname, which is DellEMC). You must configure the system using the CLI.
Configuring a Host Name
The host name appears in the prompt. The default host name is DellEMC.
● Host names must start with a letter and end with a letter or digit.
● Characters within the string can be letters, digits, and hyphens.
To create a host name, use the hostname name command in Configuration mode.
DellEMC(conf)#hostname R1
R1(conf)#
Accessing the System Remotely
You can configure the system to access it remotely by Telnet or secure shell (SSH).
● The platform has a dedicated management port and a management routing table that is separate from the IP routing table.
● You can manage all Dell EMC Networking products in-band via the front-end data ports through interfaces assigned an IP
address as well.
Accessing the System Remotely
Configuring the system for remote access is a three-step process, as described in the following topics:
1. Configure an IP address for the management port. Configure the Management Port IP Address
2. Configure a management route with a default gateway. Configure a Management Route
3. Configure a username and password. Configure a Username and Password
Configure the Management Port IP Address
To access the system remotely, assign IP addresses to the management ports.
1. Enter INTERFACE mode for the Management port.
