After the device has been booted successfully, the system prompt appears (console>) and the configuration process can be started. The local terminal can be
used for configuration.
Device Configuration Introduction
There are two types or levels of configuration. The initial configuration describes basic configuration functions with basic security considerations. The advanced
configuration includes dynamic IP configuration and more advanced security considerations.
NOTICE:
After making any configuration changes, the new configuration must be saved before rebooting. To save the configuration, enter:
console> enable
console# copy running-config startup-config
Initial Configuration
Initial configuration starts after the device has booted successfully. The initial configuration scope for the device includes:
Static IP address and Subnet Mask
l
Default gateway
l
User name and privilege level must be configured to allow remote management.
l
If the device is to be managed from an SNMP-based management station, SNMP community strings must also be configured.
Static IP Address and Subnet Mask
In PowerConnect 3324/3348 devices, IP interfaces can be configured on each port and no limitation on the number of IP interfaces is imposed. After entering
the configuration command, it is recommended to check if a port was configured with the IP address by entering the "show ip interface" command.
NOTICE:
Only one VLAN can be assigned an IP address. If you assign an address to any other VLAN, the new address overrides the original IP
address.
To configure an interface on a VLAN, enter the commands at the system prompt as shown in the following configuration example:
console> enable
console# configure
console(config)# interface vlan 1
console(config-if)# ip address 100.1.1.1 /8
console(config-if)# exit
console(config)# exit
