18 Getting Started Guide
Initial Configuration Procedure
Perform the initial configuration by using the Dell Easy Setup Wizard or by
using the CLI. The wizard automatically starts when the switch configuration
file is empty. Exit the wizard at any point by entering [ctrl+z], but all
configuration settings specified will be discarded, and the switch will use the
default values.
NOTE: If you do not run the Dell Easy Setup Wizard or do not respond to the initial
Easy Setup Wizard prompt within 60 seconds, the switch enters CLI mode. You must
reset the switch with an empty startup configuration in order to rerun the Dell Easy
Setup Wizard.
For more information about performing the initial configuration by using the
CLI, refer to the CLI Reference Guide. This Getting Started Guide shows how
to use the Dell Easy Setup Wizard for initial switch configuration. The wizard
sets up the following configuration on the switch:
• Establishes the initial privileged user account with a valid password. The
wizard configures one privileged user account during the setup.
• Enables CLI login and HTTP access to use the local authentication setting
only.
• Sets up the IP address for the VLAN 1 routing interface, of which all
in-band ports are members.
• Sets up the SNMP community string to be used by the SNMP manager at
a given IP address. Skip this step if SNMP management is not used for this
switch.
• Allows you to specify the network management system IP address or
permit management access from all IP addresses.
• Configures the default gateway IP address for the VLAN 1 interface.
