Initial Configuration Procedure - Dell N4000 Serie Guide De Mise En Route

These settings are necessary to allow the remote management of the switch
through Telnet (Telnet client) or HTTP (Web browser).

Initial Configuration Procedure

You can perform the initial configuration by using the Dell Easy Setup
Wizard or by using the CLI. The wizard automatically starts when the switch
configuration file is empty. You can exit the wizard at any point by entering
[ctrl+z], but all configuration settings specified will be discarded, and the
switch will use the default values.
NOTE:
If you do not run the Easy Setup Wizard or do not respond to the initial Easy
Setup Wizard prompt within 60 seconds, the switch enters CLI mode.
For more information about performing the initial configuration by using the
CLI, see the CLI Reference Guide. This Getting Started Guide shows how to
use the Easy Setup Wizard for initial switch configuration. 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.
• Enables CLI login and HTTP access to use the local authentication setting
only.
• Sets up the IP address for the OOB interface.
• Sets up the SNMP community string to be used by the SNMP manager at
a given IP address. You may choose to skip this step if SNMP management
is not used for this switch.
