Getting Started Guide17
Booting the N1100-ON Series Switch
When the power is turned on with the local terminal already connected, the
switch goes through a power-on self-test (POST). POST runs every time the
switch is initialized and checks hardware components to determine if the
switch is fully operational before completely booting. If POST detects a
critical problem, the program flow stops. If POST passes successfully, valid
firmware is loaded into RAM. POST messages are displayed on the terminal
and indicate test success or failure. The boot process runs for approximately
60 seconds.
You can invoke the Boot menu after the first part of the POST is completed.
From the Boot menu, you can perform configuration tasks such as resetting
the system to factory defaults, activating the backup image, or recovering a
password. For more information about the Boot menu functions, refer to the
CLI Reference Guide.
18Getting Started Guide
Performing the N1100-ON Series Initial
Configuration
The initial configuration procedure is based on the following assumptions:
•The Dell Networking switch was never configured before.
•The Dell Networking switch booted successfully.
•The console connection was established, and the
prompt appears on the screen of a PC running terminal emulation
software.
The initial switch configuration is performed through the console port. After
the initial configuration, you can manage the switch from the already-connected
console port or remotely through an interface defined during the initial
configuration.
NOTE: The switch is not configured with a default user name, password, or
IP address.
Before setting up the initial configuration of the switch, obtain the following
information from your network administrator:
•The IP address to be assigned to the management interface.
•The IP subnet mask for the network.
•The IP address of the management interface default gateway.
These settings are necessary to allow the remote management of the switch
through Telnet (Telnet client) or HTTP (Web browser).
Dell Easy Setup Wizard
Enabling Remote Management
On the N1100-ON Series switches, you can use any of the switch ports on the
front panel for in-band management. By default, all in-band ports are
members of VLAN 1.
The Dell Easy Setup Wizard includes prompts to configure network
information for the VLAN 1 interface on the N1100-ON Series switches.
You can assign a static IP address and subnet mask or enable DHCP and
allow a network DHCP server to assign the information.
Refer to the CLI Reference Guide for commands to configure network
information.
