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] yy

Step 1:

The system is not setup 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 setup other SNMP accounts. (For more information on

    setting up an SNMP version 1 or 3 account, see the user documentation).

Would you like to setup the SNMP management interface now? [Y/N] N

Step 2:

Now we need to setup your initial privilege (Level 15) user account. This

account is used to login to the CLI and Web interface. You may setup other

accounts and change privilege levels later. For more information on setting

up user accounts and changing privilege levels, see the userDHCP documentation.

To setup a user account:

Please enter the user name. [admin]:admin

Please enter the user password:

Please reenter the user password:

Step 3:

Next, an IP address is setup. The IP address is defined on the default VLAN

(VLAN #1), of which all ports are members. This is the IP address you use to

access the CLI, Web interface, or SNMP interface for the switch.

Optionally you may request that the system automatically retrieve an IP

address from the network via DHCP (this requires that you have a DHCP

server running on the network).

To setup an IP address:

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. [192.168.2.1]: DHCP

This is the configuration information that has been collected:

User Account setup = admin

Password = ********

Management IP address = DHCP 255.255.255.0

Step 5:

If the information is correct, please select (Y) to save the configuration,

and copy to the start-up configuration file. If the information is incorrect,

select (N) to discard configuration and restart the wizard: [Y/N] Y

Thank you for using Dell Easy Set up Wizard. You will now enter CLI mode.

Applying Interface configuration, please wait ...

EqualLogic iSCSI Auto-Detection
When you connect a Dell EqualLogic iSCSI array to a Dell PowerConnect series switch and run “iscsi enable” command, the switch is capable to automatically detect a directly connected EqualLogic array to any of their switch ports. The iSCSI Auto-Detection feature is, by default, disabled on Dell PowerConnect series switches. This feature will be enabled by default in later firmware releases. To enable the iSCSI on a switch connected to EQL Array, follow the below:

console>enable
console#config
console(config)#iscsi enable
console(config)#exit
console#copy running-config startup-config
console#exit

After enabling iSCSI, the following procedures occur automatically:
Jumbo Frames are enabled on all switch ports.
Spanning-Tree Port-Fast (STPF) is automatically enabled
Unicast Storm Control (USC) is automatically disabled
Flow Control enables l


Also you can add all setting below for all ports
