Initial Configuration Through The Web; Cli Access - Dell Networking X1000 Series Getting Started Manual

Initial Configuration Through the Web

The administrator can perform switch configuration using the web
management GUI.
To configure the switch, perform the following:
1 Verify that the switch is in Managed Mode.
2 Connect the switch to a PC using Ethernet, and set a static IP address of
192.168.2.x (where x is between 2 and 254) and subnet mask of
255.255.255.0 on the PC. Note that the switch acts as a DHCP client and
can receive its IP address from a DHCP server. If using DHCP for IP
assignment, look up the assigned IP address and use it for the next step.
3 Connect to the switch using the default switch IP address 192.168.2.1 in
your web browser. The login username is admin with password admin.
4 After logging into the switch using the previous step, a getting started
wizard is available to guide the user through the initial switch
configuration. Applied changes are automatically saved to the startup
configuration.

CLI Access

To access the switch using the Command Line Interface (CLI), it must be in
Managed Mode. The Command Line Interface can only be reached by using
telnet or a console connection. See the user guide for limited CLI options.
NOTE:
The default switch setting is Unmanaged Mode. To set the switch to
Managed Mode, press the Mode button for at least seven seconds.
Connecting the Switch to a Terminal Server/PC
NOTE:
The console port enables connecting to a terminal or desktop system
running terminal emulation software for monitoring or debugging the device using
the micro-USB port. (You can find the USB drivers at dell.com/support.)
To use the console port, the following is required (e.g., PuTTY, TeraTerm, etc.)
• VT100 compatible terminal or a desktop or portable system with a USB
port and running VT100 terminal emulation software.
