10 Dell EMC Networking S4048-ON and S4048T-ON Switch Configuration Guide for Dell EMC SC Series and Dell PS Series SANs | SCG1026
2.1.2 Delete startup configuration
Note: This example assumes a switch is using the default configuration settings. Using the delete startup-
config command will set the startup configuration file to its default settings. Always back up your
configuration settings prior to performing any configuration changes.
DellEMC>enable
DellEMC#delete startup-config
Proceed to delete startup-config [confirm yes/no]yes
DellEMC#reload
System configuration has been modified. Save? [yes/no]no
Proceed with reload [confirm yes/no]yes
Note: The switch will reboot.
2.1.3 Configure out-of-band management port
DellEMC>enable
DellEMC#configure
DellEMC(conf)#interface managementethernet 1/1
DellEMC(conf-if-ma-1/1)#ip address <ipaddress> <mask>
DellEMC(conf-if-ma-1/1)#no shutdown
DellEMC(conf-if-ma-1/1)#exit
2.1.4 Configure route for out-of-band management port (optional)
DellEMC(conf)#management route <X.Y.Z.0> /24 <A.B.C.1>
Note: In the previous command, <X.Y.Z.0> is the network your management system is connecting from and
<A.B.C.1> is the gateway for the switch. If your management system is on the same subnet as the switch, the
previous step may be omitted. The prior example assumes a class C subnet mask.
2.1.5 Configure login credentials
DellEMC(conf)#username admin privilege 15 password 0 <yourpassword>
DellEMC(conf)#enable password level 15 0 <yourpassword>
2.1.6 Enable switch ports
Option 1: Enable ports individually by entering the port number.
DellEMC(conf)#interface tengigabitethernet 1/1
DellEMC(conf-if-te-1/1)#switchport
DellEMC(conf-if-te-1/1)#no shutdown
DellEMC(conf-if-te-1/1)#end
