    4 If you are using a redundant or external DC power supply, such as the Dell Networking RPS720, connect the DC power cable to the DC receptacle located on the back panel. In Figure 1-9 on page 21, the redundant power supply feed is in the middle and is labeled RPS.
  • Page 24 • The Dell Networking switch booted successfully. • The console connection was established, and the Dell Easy Setup Wizard prompt appears on the screen of a VT100 terminal or terminal equivalent. The initial switch configuration is performed through the console port. After the initial configuration, you can manage the switch from the already- connected console port or remotely through an interface defined during the initial configuration.
  • Page 25 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.
  • Page 26 • The default gateway is 10.1.1.1 The setup wizard configures the initial values as defined above. After completing the wizard, the switch is configured as follows: • SNMPv2 is enabled and the community string is set up as defined above. SNMPv3 is disabled by default.
  • Page 27 Would you like to run the setup wizard (you must answer this question within 60 seconds)? [Y/N] y Step 1: The system is not set up for SNMP management by default. To manage the switch using SNMP (required for Dell Network Manager) you can Set up the initial SNMP version 2 account now.
  • Page 28 Now we need to set up your initial privilege (Level 15) user account. This account is used to login to the CLI and Web interface. You may set up other accounts and change privilege levels later. For more information on setting up user accounts and changing privilege levels, see the user documentation.
  • Page 29 This is the configuration information that has been collected: SNMP Interface = “public”@10.1.2.100 User Account setup = admin Password = ******** VLAN1 Router Interface IP = 10.1.1.200 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway = 10.1.1.1 Step 6: If the information is correct, please enter (Y) to save the configuration and copy the settings to the start-up configuration file.
  • Page 30 Your N2200-ON switch supports basic switching features such as VLANs and spanning tree protocol. Use the Web-based management interface or the CLI to configure the features your network requires. For information about how to configure the switch features, see the User’s Configuration Guide or CLI Reference Guide available on the support site: dell.com/support/manuals.
