How to initialize a DELL Power Connect 3348 Switch

Hello;

This is an old post I want to re-post on this new blog!

Here I want to share some research I did about starting a DELL Power Connect
3348 Switch.
Connect the switch trough DB9 port to the computer; you can use
HyperTerminal or Putty application to connect by Serial, the default
configuration was fine for me, but in case of trouble you can check other
speed.

Once you are connected try:

Checking the network interface
>Show ip interface

Setting ip address for vlan or port
>enable
>configure
>interface vlan 1 “or” interface ethernet 1/e1
>ip address 192.168.1.2 /24
>exit
>exit

Setting gateway
>enable
>configure
>ip default-gateway 192.168.1.1
>exit

Setting a http user for the switch
>enable
>configure
>ip http authentication local
>username myuser mypassword admin level 15
>exit

Saving the new configuration
>enable
>copy running-config startup-config
YES

Restarting
>reload
YES

Resetting
>enable
>delete startup-config
>reload
YES

Enjoy.
