Enter the Initial Configuration Information
To set up the switch, assign an IP address and other configuration information
necessary for the switch to communicate with the local routers and the Internet.
The minimal configuration provided here does not cover most of the features; it
simply allows you to perform other configuration tasks using a Telnet connection
from your management network.
NOTE: To configure other features and interfaces, refer to the Dell Networking
OS Configuration Guide for the S3048 System.
IP Settings
To set up the switch, get the following information from your network
administrator:
• Switch IP address
• Subnet mask (IP netmask)
• Default gateway (router)
• Enable secret password
• Enable password
• Telnet password
Navigating CLI Modes
The Dell Networking OS prompt changes to indicate the CLI mode.
You must move linearly through the command modes, except for the end
command which takes you directly to EXEC Privilege mode and the exit command
which moves you up one command mode level.
