Default Configuration

Although a version of Dell Networking OS is pre-loaded onto the system, the system is not configured when you power up the system 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 hostname name command in Configuration mode.
hostname command example
Dell(conf)#hostname R1
R1(conf)#

Accessing the System Remotely

You can configure the system to access it remotely by Telnet or secure shell (SSH).
• The platform 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 System Remotely
Configuring the system for remote access 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.

Configure the Management Port IP Address

To access the system remotely, assign IP addresses to the management ports.
1 Enter INTERFACE mode for the Management port.
CONFIGURATION mode
interface ManagementEthernet slot/port
2 Assign an IP address to the interface.
INTERFACE mode
ip address ip-address/mask
• ip-address: an address in dotted-decimal format (A.B.C.D).
• mask: a subnet mask in /prefix-length format (/ xx).
3 Enable the interface.
