Newby question in IP address

Setting up my 3324 for the first time, using the terminal, I put in the wrong IP address.  How do I delete that address.

 

Second question.  I ordered the switches with the intent to download the managment software.  Where do I find that software?

 

Thanks for the help

Removing an IP address is done from interface configuration mode, and the command is as follows  (note:  ideally, the IP address should be set on a VLAN, not on an individual port):

switch(config-if)#  no ip address

Then just add the correct IP address.

As for the OpenManage Network Manager software, the latest version can be downloaded from the Dell File Library or the link below:

Hey Andrew, and thanks for the help.

More Newbie questions, what is a VLAN?

The Documentation gave the command "console (config-if) interface ethernet 1/e1" for setting the IP address.  Should I use "interface vlan 1" instead?

A brief description of my problem. I have 57 computers/ 2 servers on a single subnet. We recently upgraded from hubs to your 3324 switches. I also upgraded my servers to gigabit NIC's. I have the two 3324's in a stacked config, and one hub that will be replaced, but not stacked, next month.  When I replaced two of the hubs with the stacked switches, both servers connected to the gig ports on the switches, I started having issues with users logging in, it would take several attempts, and users losing mapped drives. When I went back to the hubs, the problem went away. I did not do any configuring to the switches. I am hoping that the fact that I did not configure the switches with an IP address is the issue. If not, what would cause that problem?

Again, thanks for the help

On the Switch ports hosting PC connections for users logging in, turn Spanning-Tree portfast on.  Also you may need to check auto-negotiation settings on the switch ports and PC nic cards.  Hope this helps.
