3.5 Check current operational mode
Note: Before proceeding, the “System Operational Mode” must be set to “Normal”. Some switches, such
as the M8024k, ship from the factory in simple mode.
console>enable
console#configure
console(config)#no mode simple
Switching modes will immediately clear the configuration. Are you sure you want
to continue? (y/n) y
Switch has unsaved changes.
Are you sure you want to continue? (y/n) y
Note: The switch will reboot. If the switch reports “Normal mode already active”, then you may proceed
to the next step without rebooting.
3.6 Disable DCB
Note: The PowerConnect M8024-k switches do not support Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS),
therefore Data Center Bridging (DCB) must be manually disabled using the following steps. If you have
the M8024 switch, skip this section.
console>enable
console#configure
console(config)#no dcb enable
3.7 Configure out of band (OOB) management port
console(config)#interface out-of-band
console(config-if)#ip address ipaddress mask gateway
console(config-if)#exit
3.8 Configure login credentials
console(config)#line telnet
console(config-telnet)#login authentication default
console(config-telnet)#exit
