158 Using the CLI
Starting the CLI
To begin running the CLI, perform the following steps:
NOTE: This procedure is for use on the console line only.
NOTE: The Easy Setup Wizard is available only when the system is in default state
with no user configuration saved previously.
1
Start the switch and wait until the startup procedure is complete and the
User EXEC mode is entered. The prompt
console>
is displayed.
2
Configure the switch using the Easy Setup Wizard and enter the necessary
commands to complete the required tasks.
3
When finished, exit the session with the
quit
or
exit
command.
The switch can be managed over a direct connection to the switch console
port or through a Telnet connection. If access is through a Telnet connection,
the switch must have a defined IP address, corresponding management access
granted, and a connection to the network.
Easy Setup Wizard
The Easy Setup Wizard guides the user in the basic initial configuration of a
newly installed switch so that it can be immediately deployed and functional
in its basic operation and be completely manageable through the Web, CLI
and the remote Dell Network Manager. After initial setup, the user may enter
to the system to set up more advanced configurations.
By default the switch is shipped from the factory with an IP address of
192.168.2.1 but the Easy Setup Wizard provides the opportunity to
customize the IP address. Also the system is set up with default management
VLAN ID=1. The initial activation must be done using the serial interface
since, without a unique IP address, the user can not access the other
management interfaces.
The wizard sets up the following configuration on the switch:
• Establishes the initial privileged user account with a valid password. The
wizard configures one privileged user account during the setup. The user
may return to add users later. The initial account is given the highest
privilege level (level 15).
