To configure the PowerConnect 5316M Ethernet switch module using the serial port on the
DRAC/MC module, perform the following steps:
1 Perform step 1 through step 15 in "Configuring the Client System" in "Configuring the
DRAC/MC," if required.
2 Enter the following commands to begin the configuration procedure:
console> enable
console# configure
console(config)#
3 Set the user name and password with the highest privilege level of 15 with the following
command:
console(config)# username admin password secret level 15
NOTE:
user-selectable.
The following information must be obtained from the network administrator:
•
The IP address to be assigned to the VLAN 1 interface through which the device is to be
managed (by default, every external and internal port is a member of the VLAN 1)
•
The IP subnet mask for the network
•
The IP address of the default gateway (next hop router) for configuring the default route
In the following steps, the numbers used for the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway are
only examples. These examples use the following assumptions:
•
The IP address to be assigned to the VLAN 1 interface of the Ethernet switch module is
192.168.1.123.
•
The IP subnet mask for the network is 255.255.255.0.
•
The IP address of the default gateway is 192.168.1.1.
4 Configure the static address to be assigned to the VLAN interface as 192.168.1.123 (example
only) and subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (example only) with the following commands:
console(config)# interface vlan 1
console(config-if)# ip address 192.168.1.123 255.255.255.0
5 Configure the IP default Gateway as 192.168.1.1 with the following commands:
console(config-if)# exit
console(config)# ip default-gateway 192.168.1.1
NOTE:
the switch via SNMP. To limit SNMP access to a single management station, add the specific IP
address to the end of the command.
