Basic Configuration 3324 (IP addr)

Oh, man where to start...

I added a small segment to my network and needed an additional switch.  I couldn't get another 3048 to stack on top of my other switch, so I bought a 3324.

Because i'm not familiar with their command-line configuration, I tried setting it up so I could manage via the web management app.

I've got my g2 port set up for uplink to my 3048 switch.  I tried assigning a DHCP address to it via the command line so I could access it via the web configuration client.

I gave it the following:

console# config

consold (config)# interface ethernet 1/g2

console(config-if)# ip address dhcp hostname dell3024

I checked the address and it has 10.1.1.220

Now that port won't uplink for the switch, and since I don't know what the freak I'm doing, I can't change it back.  I had to unplug the other Gb (1/g1) port and use that as uplink.

 

Couple questions:

1.  How do I set the IP address back to whatever the null default was as delivered.  (So uplink on that port jsut works).

2.  How do I do what I set out to do in the first place?  (Which is setting up an IP address so I can access the switch from the internal network)  (should I not be using that port?)

 

Thanks in advance,

Ethan,

To manage the 3300 series switches via the network (telnet or web), you need to perform at least two steps:

  1. Configure an IP address on an interface (it is recommended to bind the ip address to a VLAN rather than a port).
  2. Create an administrator account in the local database

To remove the IP address from interface 1/g2, you would want to use the "no ip address dhcp" command from interface config mode...

  • console# config
  • console(config)# interface ethernet 1/g2
  • console(config-if)# no ip address dhcp

If this does not allow communication on the 1/g2 interface, I would suggest using the "delete startup" command from the console# prompt to reset the defaults on the switch.

From the default configuration, the following commands would allow you to manage the switch via the network:

  • console# config
  • console(config)# username password level 15
  • console(config)# interface vlan 1
  • console(config-if)# ip address dhcp
  • console(config-if)# end
  • console# copy run start

Use the command "show ip interface" to verify that VLAN 1 obtains and IP address.

Greg,

It worked like a charm!  Thanks a million.  Now I can use the dumbed-down gui.
