Starting and Configuring the N1100-ON Series Switch
The following flow chart provides an overview of the steps you use to perform the initial configuration after the switch is unpacked and mounted.

Connecting an N1100-ON Series Switch to a Terminal

After completing all external connections, configure the switch by connecting it to a terminal.
NOTE: Read the Release Notes for this product before proceeding. You can download the Release Notes from the Dell Support website at dell.com/support.
NOTE: Dell recommends that you obtain the most recent version of the user documentation from the Dell Support website at dell.com/support.
To monitor and configure the switch via the USB console, use the console port on the front panel of the switch to connect it to a computer running VT100 terminal emulation software using the supplied USB cable. It may be necessary to download and install a  driver on first use of the USB cable.
The following equipment is required to use the console port:

• VT100-compatible computer with a USB port running VT100 terminal emulation software, such as HyperTerminal® and a USB driver.
• The supplied USB cable with a type B USB connector for the console port and USB connector for the host PC.

Perform the following tasks to connect a terminal to the switch console port:

1. Connect the USB type B connector on the supplied switch and connect the other end to a computer running VT100 terminal emulation software.

2. Configure the terminal emulation software as follows:
   a Select the appropriate serial port (for example, COM 1) to connect to the console.
   b Set the data rate to 115,200 baud.
   c Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
   d Set the flow control to none.
   e Set the terminal emulation mode to VT100.
   f Select Terminal keys for Function, Arrow, and Ctrl keys. Make sure that the setting is for Terminal keys (not Microsoft Windows keys).

3. Connect the USB type B connector on the cable directly to the switch console port. The Dell Networking console port is located on the right side of the front panel and is labeled with a |O|O| symbol.

NOTE: Console access to the stack manager is available from any console port via the local CLI. Only one USB console session at a time is supported.

Connecting an N1100-ON Series Switch to a Power Source
CAUTION: Read the safety information in the Safety and Regulatory Information manual as well as the safety information for other switches that connect to or support the switch.
The N1100-ON Series models have one internal power supply. The power receptacle is on the rear panel.
AC and DC Power Connection

1. Make sure that the switch console port is connected to a PC running a VT100 terminal emulator via the USB to USB Type B cable.

2. Using a 5-foot (1.5 m) standard power cable with safety ground connected, connect the power cable to the AC main receptacle located on the rear  panel.
   The PoE model switches have a heavy-duty power cable with a notched connector for the switch power receptacle. Use of this type of cable is mandatory for PoE-capable switches.

3. Connect the power cable to a grounded AC outlet.

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.

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 Dell Easy Setup Wizard 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 alreadyconnected 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).
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.

Initial Configuration Procedure
Perform the initial configuration by using the Dell Easy Setup Wizard or by using the CLI. The wizard automatically starts when the switch configuration file is empty. Exit the wizard at any point by entering [ctrl+z], but all configuration settings specified will be  discarded, and the switch will use the default values.
NOTE: If you do not run the Dell Easy Setup Wizard or do not respond to the initial Easy Setup Wizard prompt within 60 seconds, the switch enters CLI mode. You must  reset the switch with an empty startup configuration in order to rerun the Dell Easy Setup  Wizard.
For more information about performing the initial configuration by using the CLI, refer to the CLI Reference Guide. This Getting Started Guide shows how to use the Dell Easy Setup Wizard for initial switch configuration. The wizard sets up the following  configuration on the switch:

• Establishes the initial privileged user account with a valid password. The wizard configures one privileged user account during the setup.
• Enables CLI login and HTTP access to use the local authentication setting only.
• Sets up the IP address for the VLAN 1 routing interface, of which all in-band ports are members.
• Sets up the SNMP community string to be used by the SNMP manager at a given IP address. Skip this step if SNMP management is not used for this switch.
• Allows you to specify the network management system IP address or permit management access from all IP addresses.
• Configures the default gateway IP address for the VLAN 1 interface.

Example Session
This section describes a Dell Easy Setup Wizard session. The following values are used by the example session:

• The SNMP community string to be used is public.

• The network management system (NMS) IP address is 10.1.2.100.

• The user name is admin, and the password is admin123.

• The IP address for the VLAN 1 routing interface is 10.1.1.200 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

• The default gateway is 10.1.1.1.
  The setup wizard configures the initial values as defined above. After completing the wizard, the switch is configured as follows:

• SNMPv2 is enabled and the community string is set up as defined above.
  SNMPv3 is disabled by default.

• The admin user account is set up as defined.

• A network management system is configured. From the management station, you can access the SNMP, HTTP, and CLI interfaces. You may also choose to allow all IP addresses to access these management interfaces by choosing the (0.0.0.0) IP address.

• An IP address is configured for the VLAN 1 routing interface.

• A default gateway address is configured.
  NOTE: In the following example, the possible user options or default values are enclosed in [ ]. If you press with no options defined, the default value is accepted. Help text is in parentheses.

Dell Easy Setup Wizard Console Example

The following example contains the sequence of prompts and responses associated with running an example Dell Easy Setup Wizard session, using the input values listed earlier.
After the switch completes the POST and is booted, the following dialog appears:

Applying Global configuration, please wait…
Welcome to Dell Easy Setup Wizard
The setup wizard guides you through the initial switch configuration, and gets you up and running as quickly as possible. You can skip the setup wizard, and enter CLI mode to manually configure the switch. You must respond to the next question to run the  setup wizard within 60 seconds, otherwise the system will continue with normal operation using the default system configuration. Note: You can exit the setup wizard at any point by entering [ctrl+z].
Would you like to run the setup wizard (you must answer this question within 60 seconds)? [Y/N] y
Step 1:
The system is not set up for SNMP management by default. To manage the switch using SNMP (required for Dell Network Manager) you can. Set up the initial SNMP version 2 account now.
Return later and set up other SNMP accounts. (For more information on setting up an SNMP version 1 or 3 account, see the user documentation).
Would you like to set up the SNMP management interface now? [Y/N] To set up the SNMP management account you must specify the management system IP address and the “community string” or password that the particular management system uses to access the switch. The wizard automatically assigns the highest access level
[Privilege Level 15] to this account. You can use Dell Network Manager or other management interfaces to change this setting, and to add additional management system information later. For more information on adding management systems, see the user  documentation.
To add a management station:
Please enter the SNMP community string to be used.

NOTE: If it is configured, the default access level is set to the highest available access for the SNMP management interface. Initially only SNMPv2 will be activated. SNMPv3 is disabled until you return to configure security access for SNMPv3 (e.g. engine ID,  view, etc.).
Please enter the IP address of the Management System (A.B.C.D) or wildcard (0.0.0.0) to manage from any Management Station. [0.0.0.0]: 10.1.2.100
Step 2:
Now we need to set up your initial privilege (Level 15) user account. This account is used to login to the CLI and Web interface. You may set up other accounts and change privilege levels later. For more information on setting up user accounts and changing privilege levels, see the user documentation.
To set up a user account:
Please enter the user name. [root]:admin
Please enter the user password: ****
Please reenter the user password: ****
Step 3:
Next, an IP address is set up on the VLAN 1 routing interface.
You can use the IP address to access the CLI, Web interface, or SNMP interface of the switch.
To access the switch through any Management Interface you can

• Set up the IP address for the Management Interface.
• Set up the default gateway if IP address is manually configured on the routing interface.

Step 4:
Would you like to set up the VLAN1 routing interface now? [Y/N] y
Please enter the IP address of the device (A.B.C.D) or enter “DHCP” (without the quotes) to automatically request an IP address from the network DHCP server:  10.1.1.200
Please enter the IP subnet mask (A.B.C.D or /nn): 255.255.255.0

Step 5:
Finally, set up the default gateway. Please enter the IP address of the gateway from which this network is reachable. [0.0.0.0]: 10.1.1.1
This is the configuration information that has been collected:
SNMP Interface = “public”@10.1.2.100
User Account setup = admin
Password = ****
VLAN1 Router Interface IP = 10.1.1.200 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway = 10.1.1.1
Step 6:
If the information is correct, please enter (Y) to save the configuration and copy the settings to the start-up configuration file. If the information is incorrect, enter (N) to discard the configuration and restart the wizard: [Y/N] y
Thank you for using the Dell Easy Setup Wizard. You will now enter CLI mode.
Applying Interface configuration, please wait…

Next Steps
After completing the initial configuration described in this section, connect any of the front-panel switch ports to a production network for in-band remote management.
If you specified DHCP for the VLAN 1 management interface IP address, the interface will acquire its IP address from a DHCP server on the network. To discover the dynamically assigned IP address, use the console port connection to issue the following command:

• For the VLAN 1 routing interface, enter show ip interface.

To access the Dell OpenManage Switch Administrator interface, enter the VLAN 1 management interface IP address into the address field of a Web browser. For remote management access to the CLI, enter the VLAN 1 management interface IP address into a  Telnet or SSH client. Alternatively, continue to use the console port for local CLI access to the switch.
The N1100-ON Series switches support basic switching features such as VLANs and spanning tree protocol. Use the Web-based management interface or the CLI to configure the features your network requires. For  information about how to configure the switch features, refer to the User Configuration Guide or CLI Reference Guide available on the support site: dell.com/support.
