Switch Feature Overview

Log Messages
The switch maintains in-memory log messages as well as persistent logs. You
can configure remote logging so that the switch sends log messages to a
remote SYSLOG server. You can also configure the switch to email log
messages to a configured SMTP server. This allows you to receive the log
message in an e-mail account of your choice. Switch auditing messages, CLI
command logging, Web logging, and SNMP logging can be enabled or
disabled.
For information about configuring system logging, see "Monitoring and
Logging System Information" on page 243.
Integrated DHCP Server
Dell Networking series switches include an integrated DHCP server that can
deliver host-specific configuration information to hosts on the network. The
switch DHCP server allows you to configure IPv4 address pools (scopes), and
when a host’s DHCP client requests an address, the switch DHCP server
automatically assigns the host an address from the pool.
For information about configuring the DHCP server settings, see
"Configuring DHCP Server and Relay Settings" on page 1037.
Management of Basic Network Information
The DHCP client on the switch allows the switch to acquire information such
as the IPv4 or IPv6 address and default gateway from a network DHCP server.
You can also disable the DHCP client and configure static network
information. Other configurable network information includes a Domain
Name Server (DNS), hostname to IP address mapping, and a default domain
name.
If the switch detects an IP address conflict on the management interface, it
generates a trap and sends a log message.
For information about configuring basic network information, see "Setting
the IP Address and Other Basic Network Information" on page 147.
