Page 20: Rack Mounting The Switch
You may either place the switch on the rack shelf or mount the switch directly into a 19" wide, EIA-310-E- compliant rack (four-post, two-post, or threaded methods). The Dell ReadyRails™ system is provided for 1U front-rack, and two-post installations. The ReadyRails system includes two separately packaged rail assemblies and two rails that are shipped attached to the sides of the switch. -
Page 21: Installing The Dell Readyrails System
Installing the Dell ReadyRails System The ReadyRails rack mounting system is provided to easily configure your rack for installation of your switch. The ReadyRails system can be installed using the 1U tool-less method or one of three possible 1U tooled methods (two-post flush mount, two-post center mount, or four-post threaded). - Page 22 Two-post Flush-mount Configuration: 1 For this configuration, you must remove the castings from the front side of each ReadyRails assembly. Refer to Figure 1-6, item 1. Use a Torx driver to remove the two screws from each front flange ear (on the switch side of the rail) and remove each casting.
- Page 23 4 Repeat this procedure for the second rail. Two-post Center-mount Configuration: 1 Slide the plunger bracket rearward until it clicks into place and secure the bracket to the front post flange with two user-supplied screws. Refer to Figure 1-7, item 1. Figure 1-7.
- Page 24 Four-post Threaded Configuration: 1 For this configuration, you must remove the flange ear castings from each end of the ReadyRails assemblies. Use a Torx driver to remove the two screws from each flange ear and remove each casting. Refer to Figure 1-8, item 1.

Page 25: Installing The Switch
Installing the Switch You can mount the switch in the 1U front-rack or 1U two-post (flush and center) configurations. The following is an example of a 1U front-rack configuration. For the 1U two-post (flush and center) configurations, you can slide the switch into the rails in the same manner as the four-post configurations. - Page 26 2 After both switch rails are installed, line them up on the previously mounted Ready-Rails and slide the switch in until it is flush with front of rack. About three inches prior to full insertion, the rail locking feature engages to keep the switch from inadvertently sliding out of the rack and falling.

Page 31: Performing The Initial Configuration
Performing the Initial Configuration Navigating CLI Modes The FTOS prompt changes to indicate the CLI mode. You must move linearly through the command modes, with the exception of the end command which takes you directly to EXEC Privilege mode and the exit command which moves you up one command mode level. - Page 32 To set up the RS-232/RJ-45 console port, follow these steps: Step Task Install an RJ-45 copper cable into the console port. Use a rollover cable to connect the S4820T console port to a terminal server. Connect the other end of the cable to the DTE terminal server. Set the default terminal settings as follows: •...

Page 33: Default Configuration
Default Configuration A version of FTOS is pre-loaded onto the S4820T system; however, the system is not configured when you power up for the first time (except for the default host name, which FTOS ). You must configure the system using the CLI. Configure Layer 2 (Data Link) Mode Use the switchport command in INTERFACE mode to enable Layer 2 data transmissions through an individual interface. -
Page 34: Access The System Remotely
Access the System Remotely You can configure the S4820T system to be accessed remotely by Telnet. The system has a dedicated management port and a management routing table that is separate from the IP routing table. To access the system remotely, follow these steps: Step Task Configure an IP address for the management port... -
Page 35: Configure The Management Route
There are two types of enable passwords: • enable password—stores the password in the running/startup configuration using a data encryption standard (DES)-encryption method. • enable secret—stores the running/startup configuration using a stronger, MD5-encryption method. Dell Force10 recommends using the enable secret password. Performing the Initial Configuration... -
Page 36: Create A Port-Based Vlan
To configure the enable secret password, follow this step: Task Command Syntax Command Mode Create a password to enable [password | secret] [level level] CONFIGURATION access EXEC [encryption-type] password Privilege mode. Create a Port-based VLAN The Default VLAN (VLAN 1) is part of the system startup configuration and does not require configuration. - Page 37 To view which interfaces are tagged or untagged and to view which VLAN the interfaces belong, use the show vlan command. To view just the interfaces that are in Layer 2 mode, use the show interfaces switchport command in EXEC Privilege mode or EXEC mode.

Page 38: Assign An Ip Address To A Vlan
Assign an IP Address to a VLAN VLANs are a Layer 2 feature. For two physical interfaces on different VLANs to communicate, you must assign an IP address to the VLANs to route traffic between the two interfaces. The shutdown command in INTERFACE mode does not affect Layer 2 traffic on the interface. - Page 39 Printed in the U.S.A. w w w. d e l l . c om | s u p p o r t . d e l l . c om...
