Starting The Cli - Dell PowerConnect M8024 User Manual

Starting the CLI

To begin running the CLI, perform the following steps:
Note: The following steps are for use on the console line only.
1. Start the switch and wait until the startup procedure is complete. The Easy Setup Wizard welcome
message now displays.
Note: If you are using the autoconfig feature, do not use the Easy Setup Wizard.
2. Configure the switch using the Easy Setup Wizard and enter the necessary commands to complete the
required tasks.
3. When finished, exit the session with the quit or exit command.
The switch can be managed over a direct connection to the switch console port, or through a Telnet
connection. You can access the switch without a user account if you're directly connected to the switch.
However, to access the switch through Telnet, at least one user account must be defined. Also, if access is
through a Telnet connection, the switch must have a defined IP address, corresponding management
access granted, and a workstation connected to the switch before using CLI commands.
