Next Steps
After completing the initial configuration described in this section, connect
any of the front-panel switch ports to your production network for in-band
remote management.
If DHCP was configured 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 vlan 1.
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,
you can continue to use the console port for local CLI access to the switch.
The N1500 Series switch supports 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, see the User's Configuration Guide or
CLI Reference Guide available on the support site: dell.com/support.
