Default Configuration

A version of Dell Networking OS is pre-loaded onto the chassis; however, the system is not configured
when you power up for the first time (except for the default hostname, which is Dell). You must
configure the system using the CLI.

Configuring a Host Name

The host name appears in the prompt. The default host name is Dell.
• Host names must start with a letter and end with a letter or digit.
• Characters within the string can be letters, digits, and hyphens.
To create a host name, use the following command.
• Create a host name.

Example of the hostname Command
Dell(conf)#hostname R1
R1(conf)#

Accessing the System Remotely

You can configure the system to access it remotely by Telnet or SSH.
• The Z9000 has a dedicated management port and a management routing table that is separate from
the IP routing table.
• You can manage all Dell Networking products in-band via the front-end data ports through interfaces
assigned an IP address as well.

Accessing the Z-Series and Remotely

Configuring the system for Telnet is a three-step process, as described in the following topics:
1. Configure an IP address for the management port.
2. Configure a management route with a default gateway.
3. Configure a username and password.
