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.

16 Getting Started Guide
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.

Getting Started Guide 17
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 already-
connected 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.

18 Getting Started Guide
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.

Getting Started Guide 19
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 <Enter> with no options defined, the default value is
accepted. Help text is in parentheses.
