Configuring Dell PowerConnect
Title
Description
Configuring an initial HTTPS password
The example in the user guide is incomplete. Issuing the first command
drops the user to the 'config-crypto-cert' config mode. At this point, just
exiting back to config is not enough to allow https to get enabled. The
user must enter values for common-name and country before exiting.
This will allow https server to be enabled when issuing "ip https server" at
global config mode.

Configuring Ports
Title
Description
Port Configuration page, Admin Port Speed
The description of the Admin Port Speed field on the Port Configuration
page incorrectly states that “For the PowerConnect M8024, the only
available speed is 10000 Mbps.” In reality, the PowerConnect M8024 also
supports port speeds of 1000 Mbps.
Port Configuration page, Admin Advertisement
The description of the Admin Advertisement field on the Port Configuration
page states that the 10000 Full value indicates that the port is advertising
a 1000 Mbps speed, which is incorrect. The 10000 Full value indicates
that the port is advertising a 10000 Mbps speed.
