1 RJ-45 10/100 dedicated Ethernet Management port (labeled 10/100 Ethernet). To install the S2410 system, Dell Force10 recommends that you complete the installation procedures in the order presented below. Always handle the system with care. Avoid dropping the S2410 chassis.

Attaching Mounting Brackets S2410 systems have no stacking or other optional modules, so, to install the S2410 system, you can simply install the system on a tabletop, in a rack, or in a cabinet, turn it on, and then connect ports. The S2410 is shipped with two universal front-mounting brackets (rack ears), which are contained in a bag with 3 Phillips screws for each rack ear.
Install chassis into 2-post rack or cabinet Step Task Dell Force10 recommends that one person hold the S2410 chassis in place while a second person attaches the brackets to the posts. Position the S2410 chassis in the rack. Attach the bracket "ears" to the rack or cabinet posts, using the supplied screws for each bracket.

CAUTION: The power supply cord is used as the main disconnect device; ensure that the socket-outlet is located/installed near the equipment and is easily accessible. Both S2410 models (S2410CP and S2410P) provide built-in dual AC power supplies. Ideally, the power sources would be on separate circuits. While only one power supply is needed for the unit to operate, if both power supplies are connected, the power supplies act as redundant backups and do some load sharing, although the sharing is not necessarily equal.
Dell Force10 might cause interface errors and/or have issues with mechanical fit. CX4 cables are not included with the S2410, but Dell Force10 has certified cables to use with the S2410. For a list of approved cables, see the S2410 data sheet: http://www.force10networks.com/products/s2410.asp...
0.0495 inches from the centerline of the connector centerline perpendicular to the long axis of the trapezoidal nozzle. Accessing XFP Ports Dell Force10 offers various types of XFP transceivers. For details, see: http://www.force10networks.com/products/specifications.asp All ports in the S2410P use XFP transceivers except the dedicated Ethernet Management port, and the S2410CP includes four XFP ports.
CAUTION: Before connecting a transceiver to a source, check the receive power of the transceiver with an optical power meter. Generally, Dell Force10 specified optics are not to be subjected to receive power higher than that stipulated by the optic specification. If the optic is exposed to optical power in excess of the specification, there is a high likelihood that it will be damaged.

Installing the Software Navigating CLI Modes The SFTOS prompt changes to indicate the CLI mode. You must move linearly through the command modes, with the exception of the end command which takes you directly to Privileged EXEC mode; the exit command moves you up one command mode level.

Step Task Set your initial console terminal settings to match the default console settings on the switch: 9600 baud rate No parity 8 data bits 1 stop bit No flow control (console port only) After establishing a connection, you can modify the settings to match at each end of the connection.
Table 2-1. Pin Assignments Between the Console and a DTE Terminal Server Console Port RJ-45 to DB-9 Adapter Signal Port Pinout Accessing the Ethernet Management Port The S2410 includes the Ethernet Management port on the right front of the chassis (labeled 10/100 Ethernet) that is dedicated to switch management. With a standard RJ-45 Ethernet cable, connect it to any Ethernet port in your network through which you can access the switch via a Telnet, SSH, SNMP, or Web client.
Configure a Host Name If you have more than one individually managed S-Series switch, you can differentiate them by creating a unique CLI host name prompt for each switch. Use the hostname command, in Global Config mode, to edit the prompt. The host name is case-sensitive and can be up to 64 characters in length.
After you enable and connect ports in the management VLAN and configure the management IP address, as described above, you can manage the switch through a variety of means. Configuring an Interface with an IP Address NOTE: You must have the optional SFTOS Layer 3 Package installed to configure routing commands and to set IP addressing an interface.
Step Task Command Syntax Command Mode Invoke the (Config-if-ma)# interface Global Config prompt. managementethernet Set the IP address and subnet ip address ipaddr (Config-if-ma)# mask of the management subnetmask prompt within the interface. Global Config mode NOTE: Creating a management IP address is supported by both the Layer 2 (Switching) and Layer 3 (Routing) licenses of SFTOS.
Enabling Ports When the S2410 is first installed, all ports are disabled by default. You can use the no shutdown command for a specific interface (Interface Config mode). To enable all ports, enter no shutdown all in Global Config mode. Setting the IP Address for the Service Port The S2410 supports the Ethernet Management port (labeled 10/100 Ethernet and commonly called the service port).

Setting the IP Address of the Virtual Management Port If you want to access the switch through Telnet, SSH, TFTP, or the SFTOS Web UI, you must set up the service port to configure an IP address that is accessible, by default, through ports in VLAN 1.
Enabling Spanning Tree Protocol Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is off by default. First, you must enable STP globally. Next, enable STP on the desired ports. Using the CLI to enable STP, it is possible to enable spanning tree globally and on all the ports with just two commands.
Step Task Command Syntax Command Mode To add tagged ports to the [no] tagged unit/slot/port Interface VLAN VLAN, specify a single port in unit/slot/port format to add to the selected VLAN, or specify a sequential port range as unit/ slot/port-unit/slot/port. Specify a non-sequential port range as unit/slot/port, unit/slot/port,...

Step Task Command Syntax Command Mode Enables routing for the switch. ip routing Global Config Configures an IP address on an ip address Interface Config interface. The IP address may be a secondary IP address. IP configuration takes precedence over VLAN configuration on a port. Therefore, configuring an IP Address and routing on an interface disables participation in VLANs on that interface.
