from the factory. If you are installing a third-party OS, see your third-party OS documentation.

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, see the Dell Networking OS Configuration Guide

for the Z9100–ON 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.
