Basic Network Information Configuration
Example
In this example, an administrator at a Dell office in California decides not to
use the Dell Easy Setup Wizard to perform the initial switch configuration.
The administrator configures a Dell Networking N2000, N3000, and N4000
series switches to obtain its information from a DHCP server on the
management network and creates the administrative user with read/write
access. The administrator also configures the following information:
• Primary DNS server: 10.27.138.20
• Secondary DNS server: 10.27.138.21
• Default domain name: sunny.dell.com
The administrator also maps the administrative laptop host name to its IP
address. The administrator uses the OOB port to manage the switch.
To configure the switch:
1
Connect the OOB port to the management network. DHCP is enabled by
on the switch OOB interface by default on N3000 and N4000 switches.
DHCP is enabled on VLAN 1 on the N2000 switches. If the DHCP client
on the switch has been disabled, use the following commands to enable
the DHCP client on the OOB port.
console#configure
console(config)#interface out-of-band
console(config-if)#ip address dhcp
console(config-if)#exit
2
Configure the administrative user.
console(config)#username admin password secret123
level 15
3
Configure the DNS servers, default domain name, and static host
mapping.
console(config)#ip name-server 10.27.138.20
10.27.138.21
console(config)#ip domain-name sunny.dell.com
console(config)#ip host admin-laptop 10.27.65.103
console(config)#exit
