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.
