Default Configuration

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

Configuring Layer 2 (Data Link) Mode

switchport command in INTERFACE mode.
