Configure the Software
To initially configure the Dell Networking operating system (OS), use the
following sections.
NOTE: This section applies ONLY if you already have Dell Networking
OS 9.x installed on your system from the factory. If you are installing a
third-party OS, see your third-party OS documentation.
NOTE: For further information on the S6010-ON system, see the
documents listed in
About this Guide .
Enter the Initial Configuration Information
To set up the switch, assign an IP address and other configuration information
necessary for the switch to communicate with the local routers and the
Internet. The minimal configuration provided here does not cover most of the
features; it simply allows you to perform other configuration tasks using a
Telnet connection from your management network.
IP Settings
To set up the switch, get the following information from your network
administrator:
• Switch IP address
• Subnet mask (IP netmask)
• Default gateway (router)
• Enable secret password
• Enable password
• Telnet password
Navigating CLI Modes
The Dell Networking OS prompt changes to indicate the CLI mode.
Move linearly through the command modes, except for the
end
command
which takes you directly to EXEC Privilege mode, and the
exit
command
which moves you up one command mode level.
