Dell Networking OS10: Basic Switch Management Configuration

Prerequisites:

• The switch has a factory-default configuration.

Instructions

Instructions for setting up the management interface network connection with a user-defined IP address:

1. Open a CLI session using the console for the S-series switch.

2. Log in to the privileged exec mode as default admin credentials. (OS10: user=admin, password=admin).

3. Show the running configuration of the management interface:

   OS10# show running-configuration interface mgmt 1/1/1
   
   interface mgmt1/1/1
    no shutdown
    ip address dhcp
    ipv6 address autoconfig

4. To modify the switch configuration, run the configure terminal command then press Enter.

   OS10# configure terminal
   OS10(config)#

5. To configure the management interface:

   OS10(config)# interface mgmt 1/1/1
   OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)#

6. To stop the management interface DHCP process use:

   OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# no ip address dhcp

7. Configure a static IP address on the management interface with: ip address A.B.C.D/mask

   OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# ip address 1.1.1.1/24
   OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# <165>1 2022-07-08T16:46:15.515380+00:00 S4148-140 dn_alm 801 - - Node.1-Unit.1:PRI [event], Dell EMC (OS10) %IP_ADDRESS_ADD: IP Address add is successful. IP 1.1.1.1/24 in VRF:default added successfully

8. Exit the management interface configuration mode to move to config mode:

   OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# exit
   OS10(config)#
   OS10(config)#

9. In config mode, create a default management route: management route A.B.C.D/mask(destination prefix) A.B.C.D(forwarding router’s address)

   S4148-140(config)# management route 0.0.0.0/0 1.1.1.2

10. Exit config mode to exec mode with:

    S4148-140(config)# end
    S4148-140#

11. In exec mode, verify that the management interface configuration is correct:

    OS10# show running-configuration interface mgmt 1/1/1
    !
    interface mgmt1/1/1
     no shutdown
     no ip address dhcp
     ip address 1.1.1.1/24
     ipv6 address autoconfig
    OS10#

12. Show that the management route is present and correct:

    OS10# show running-configuration management-route
    !
    management route 0.0.0.0/0 1.1.1.2
    OS10#

Instructions for setting up an admin level user:

1. Open the CLI using the console or management IP for the S-series switch.

2. Log in to the privileged exec mode as default credentials. (OS10: user=admin, password=admin).

3. To modify the switch configuration, run the configure terminal command then press Enter.

   OS10# configure terminal
   OS10(config)#

4. Configure a username 'test' and password with sysadmin privileges: username <string> password <string> role <sysadmin/netoperator/secadmin/netadmin>

   OS10(config)#username test password P@ssw0rd!123 role sysadmin

5. Exit config mode to exec mode:

   OS10(config)# end
   OS10#

6. Verify the users configured on the system:

   OS10# show running-configuration users
   username test password **** role sysadmin priv-lvl 15
   OS10#

7. Save the running configuration to startup configuration:

   OS10# write memory
