The procedures in this manual are intended for qualified service personnel. This chapter provides the details for connecting network devices and checking network connectivity. By default, the CLI is not protected by passwords. To secure CLI access, Dell strongly recommends assigning passwords. NOTE You can assign passwords using Brocade Network Advisor if an enable password for a Super User has been configured on the device.
4. Enter no password at the prompt. (You cannot abbreviate this command.) 5. Enter boot system flash primary at the prompt. This command causes the device to bypass the system password check. 6. After the console prompt reappears, assign a new password. Dell PowerConnect B-Series TI24X Hardware Installation Guide 53-1002265-01...
You must configure at least one IP address using the serial connection to the CLI before you can manage the system using the other management interfaces. In addition, Dell routers require an IP subnet address for the subnet in which you plan to place them in your network.
“10/100/1000 Gigabit port pinouts” on page 53. Connecting to Ethernet or fast Ethernet hubs For copper connections to Ethernet hubs, a 10/100Base-TX or 1000Base-T switch, or another Dell PowerConnect device, a crossover cable is required (Figure 10 Figure 11). If the hub is equipped with an uplink port, it will require a straight-through cable instead of a crossover cable.
Automatic MDI or MDIX detection All 10/100/1000 Copper ports on the Dell PowerConnect B-Series TI24X devices support automatic Media Dependent Interface (MDI) and Media Dependent Interface Crossover (MDIX) detection. This feature is enabled on all Gigabit copper ports by default. For each port, you can disable auto MDI or MDIX, designate the port as an MDI port, or designate the port as an MDIX port.
You must install a fiber optic module (SFP or SFP+ transceiver) in each Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet fiber port you want to use. You can install a new fiber optic module in a port while the Dell PowerConnect device is powered on and running.
