Switch Ports

The Dell Networking N1524/N1524P front panel provides 24 Gigabit Ethernet (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T) RJ-45 ports that support auto-negotiation for speed, flow control, and duplex. The Dell Networking N1500 Series models support four SFP+ 10G ports. Dell-qualified SFP+ transceivers are sold separately.

The Dell Networking N1548/N1548P front panel provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T) RJ-45 ports that support auto-negotiation for speed, flow control, and duplex. The N1548/N1548P support four SFP+ 10G ports. Dell-qualified SFP+ transceivers are sold separately.

The front-panel switch ports have the following characteristics:

• The switch automatically detects the difference between crossed and straight-through cables on RJ-45 ports and automatically chooses the MDI or MDIX configuration to match the other end.
• RJ-45 ports support full-duplex and half-duplex mode 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds on standard Category 5 UTP cable, using 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T technologies. 1000BASE-T operation requires auto-negotiation to be enabled.
• The four SFP+ ports support SFP+ (SR, LR) transceivers and SFP+ copper twin-ax (CR) transceivers plus SFP transceivers operating at 1G. SFP+ ports operate in full-duplex mode only.
• The N1524P/N1548P front panel ports support PoE (15.4W) and PoE+ (25.5W).

Console Port

The Dell Networking console port is located on the right side of the front panel and is labeled with a symbol. The console port provides serial communication capabilities, which allows communication using RS-232 protocol. The serial port provides a direct connection to the switch and allows access to the CLI from a console terminal connected to the port through the provided serial cable (with RJ45 YOST to female DB-9 connectors).

The console port is separately configurable and can be run as an asynchronous link from 1200 baud to 115,200 baud.

The Dell CLI only supports changing the speed. The defaults are 9600 baud rate, 8 data bits, No Parity, 1 Stop Bit, No Flow Control.

USB Port

The Dell Networking USB port is located on the right side of the front panel and is labeled with a symbol. The Type-A, female USB port supports a USB 2.0-compliant flash memory drive. The Dell Networking switch can read or write to a flash drive formatted as FAT-32. Use a USB flash drive to copy switch configuration files and images between the USB flash drive and the switch. The USB flash drive may also be used to move and copy configuration files and images from one switch to other switches in the network.

The USB port does not support any other type of USB device.

Reset Button

The Dell Networking reset button is located on the right side of the front panel and is labeled with a symbol. The reset button is accessed through the pinhole and allows you to perform a hard reset on the switch. To use the reset button, insert an unbent paper clip or similar tool into the pinhole. When the switch completes the boot process after the reset, it resumes operation with the most recently saved configuration. Any changes made to the running configuration that were not saved to the startup configuration prior to the reset are lost.

Port and System LEDs

The front panel contains light emitting diodes (LEDs) that indicate the status of port links, power supplies, fans, stacking, and the overall system status.

For further information about the status that the LEDs indicate, see the User's Configuration Guide.

Stack Master LED and Stack Number Display

The Dell Networking Stack Master LED is located on the right side of the front panel and is labeled with a symbol. The Stack Master LED indicates whether the switch is operating as the master unit or a stack member.

Table 1-1. Stack Master LED Indicator

LED	Status	Description
Stack Master Green solid Stack master or standalone switch
	Off Stack member

The Stack No. panel displays the unit number for the stack member. If a switch is not part of a stack (in other words, it is a stack of one switch), the Stack Master LED is illuminated, and the unit number is displayed.

Dell Networking N1500 Series Installation

Site Preparation

N1500 Series switches can be mounted in a standard 48.26 cm (19-inch) rack or placed on a flat surface.

Make sure that the chosen installation location meets the following site requirements:

• Power — The switch is installed near an easily accessible 100–240 VAC, 50–60 Hz outlet.
• Clearance — There is adequate front and rear clearance for operator access. Allow clearance for cabling, power connections, and ventilation.
• Cabling — The cabling is routed to avoid sources of electrical noise such as radio transmitters, broadcast amplifiers, power lines, and fluorescent lighting fixtures.
• Ambient Temperature — The ambient switch operating temperature range is 0 to 45°C (32 to 113°F) at a relative humidity of up to 95 percent, non-condensing.

NOTE: Decrease the maximum temperature by 1^ C ( 1.8^ F) per 300 m (985 ft.) above 900m (2955 ft.).

- Relative Humidity — The operating relative humidity is 8% to 85% (noncondensing) with a maximum humidity gradation of 10% per hour.

Unpacking the N1500 Series Switch

Package Contents

When unpacking each switch, make sure that the following items are included:

• One Dell Networking switch
• One RJ-45 to DB-9 female cable
- One rack-mount kit: two mounting brackets, bolts, and cage nuts
- One set of self-adhesive rubber pads for a free-standing configuration (four pads are included)

Unpacking Steps

NOTE: Before unpacking the switch, inspect the container and immediately report any evidence of damage.

1 Place the container on a clean, flat surface and cut all straps securing the container.
2 Open the container or remove the container top.
3 Carefully remove the switch from the container and place it on a secure and clean surface.
4 Remove all packing material.
5 Inspect the product and accessories for damage.

Rack Mounting the N1500 Series Switch

WARNING: Read the safety information in the Safety and Regulatory Information as well as the safety information for other switches that connect to or support the switch.

The AC power connector is on the back panel of the switch.

Installing in a Rack

WARNING: Do not use rack mounting kits to suspend the switch from under a table or desk, or attach it to a wall.

CAUTION: Disconnect all cables from the switch before continuing. Remove all self-adhesive pads from the underside of the switch, if they have been attached.

CAUTION: When mounting multiple switches into a rack, mount the switches from the bottom up.

1 Place the supplied rack-mounting bracket on one side of the switch, ensuring that the mounting holes on the switch line up to the mounting holes in the rack-mounting bracket. Figure 1-6 illustrates where to mount the brackets.

Figure 1-6. Attaching the Brackets

Close-up of a black Dell computer drive with mounting bracket and metal bracket (no visible text or symbols)

2 Insert the supplied bolts into the rack-mounting holes and tighten with a screwdriver.
3 Repeat the process for the rack-mounting bracket on the other side of the switch.

4 Insert the switch into the 48.26 cm (19 inch) rack, ensuring that the rack-mounting holes on the switch line up to the mounting holes in the rack.
5 Secure the switch to the rack with either the rack bolts or cage nuts and cage-nut bolts with washers (depending on the kind of rack you have). Fasten the bolts on bottom before fastening the bolts on top.

CAUTION: Make sure that the supplied rack bolts fit the pre-threaded holes in the rack.

NOTE: Make sure that the ventilation holes are not obstructed.

Installing as a Free-standing Switch

NOTE: We strongly recommend mounting the switch in a rack.

Install the switch on a flat surface if you are not installing it in a rack. The surface must be able to support the weight of the switch and the switch cables. The switch is supplied with four self-adhesive rubber pads.

1 Attach the self-adhesive rubber pads on each location marked on the bottom of the switch.
2 Set the switch on a flat surface, and make sure that it has proper ventilation by leaving 5 cm (2 inches) on each side and 13 cm (5 inches) at the back.

Stacking Multiple Switches

It is possible to stack up to four N1500 Series switches using the SFP+ ports.

NOTE: N1500 Series switches support stacking only with other N15xx series switches. Do not stack N1500 Series switches with N2000, N3000, or N4000 series switches.

When multiple switches are connected using the stack ports, they operate as a single unit with up to 192 RJ-45 front panel ports. The stack operates and is managed as a single entity.

NOTE: If installing a stack of switches, assemble and cable the stack before powering up and configuring it. When a stack is powered up for the first time, the switches elect a Master Switch, which may occupy any location in the stack. The Master LED on the front panel is illuminated on the master unit.

Creating a Switch Stack

Create a stack by configuring pairs of SFP+ ports as stacking. This step must be completed on each switch to be stacked prior to connecting adjacent units using the SFP+ stacking ports on the front panel of the switch.

NOTE: Stack ports must be configured in pairs. Either Te1/0/1 may be configured with Te1/0/2, or Te1/0/3 may be configured with Te1/0/4. No other combinations are permitted.

Figure 1-7 on page 20 shows the switches connected in a ring topology, which is the recommended topology for a stack.

1 Connect an SR, LR, or CR transceiver and cable into either of the SFP+ stacking ports of the top switch and to the switch directly below it.
2 Repeat this process until all of the devices are connected.
3 Use additional transceivers and a cable to connect the two remaining SFP+ stacking ports together so that a ring topology is assembled.
4 Power on one switch and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes) before proceeding further. Then power on each of the connected switches in sequence, beginning with the switch directly connected to the most recently powered on switch, and allow each switch to fully come up before powering on the next switch. As each switch is powered up, the stack master may download new code to the newly powered-on switch and reload it. Wait until this process completes before powering on the adjacent switch.

Figure 1-7.

Unit 1 REVA0 Unit 2 7-79-86/36 Unit 3

The stack in Figure 1-7 is connected in a ring topology and has the following physical connections between the switches:

- The left SFP+ port Te1/0/1 on Unit 1 (top) is connected to the right SFP+ port Te2/0/2 on Unit 2.

- The left SFP+ port Te2/0/1 on Unit 2 (middle) is connected to the right SFP+ port Te3/0/2 on Unit 3.

- The left SFP+ port Te3/0/1 on Unit 3 (bottom) is connected to the right SFP+ port Te1/0/2 on Unit 1.

Stacking Standby

The stacking feature supports a Standby or backup unit that assumes the Master unit role if the Master unit in the stack fails. As soon as a Master failure is detected in the stack, the Standby unit enables the control plane on the new Master unit and synchronizes all other stack units with the current configuration. The Standby unit maintains a synchronized copy of the running configuration for the stack. The Standby unit is automatically selected in the stack; however, you can use the CLI to select a different stack member as Standby. See the User's Configuration Guide or the CLI Reference Guide for more information.

Connecting a N1500 Series Switch to a Terminal

After completing all external connections, connect a serial terminal to a switch to configure the switch.

NOTE: Read the Release Notes for this product before proceeding. You can download the Release Notes from the Dell Support website at dell.com/support.

NOTE: We recommend that you obtain the most recent version of the user documentation from the Dell Support website at dell.com/support.

To monitor and configure the switch via serial console, use the console port on the front panel of the switch (see Figure 1-1 on page 8) to connect it to a VT100 terminal or to a computer running VT100 terminal emulation software. The console port is implemented as a data terminal equipment (DTE) connector.

The following equipment is required to use the console port:

• VT100-compatible terminal or a computer with a serial port running VT100 terminal emulation software, such as Microsoft HyperTerminal.
• A serial cable (provided) with an RJ-45 connector for the console port and DB-9 connector for the terminal.

Perform the following tasks to connect a terminal to the switch console port:

1 Connect the DB-9 connector on the serial cable to the terminal or computer running VT100 terminal emulation software.
2 Configure the terminal emulation software as follows:

a Select the appropriate serial port (for example, COM 1) to connect to the console.

b Set the data rate to 9600 baud.

c Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.

d Set the flow control to none.

e Set the terminal emulation mode to VT100.

f Select Terminal keys for Function, Arrow, and Ctrl keys. Make sure that the setting is for Terminal keys (not Microsoft Windows keys).

3 Connect the RJ-45 connector on the cable directly to the switch console port. The Dell Networking console port is located on the right side of the front panel and is labeled with a |O|O| symbol, as shown in Figure 1-9 on page 24.

NOTE: Serial console access to the stack manager is available from any serial port via the local CLI. Only one serial console session at a time is supported.

Connecting a Switch to a Power Source

CAUTION: Read the safety information in the Safety and Regulatory Information manual as well as the safety information for other switches that connect to or support the switch.

All N1500 Series switch models have one internal power supply. The power receptacles are on the back panel.

AC and DC Power Connection

1 Make sure that the switch console port is connected to a VT100 terminal or VT100 terminal emulator via the RJ-45 to DB-9 female 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 back panel (see Figure 1-10 on page 26). The Dell Networking N1500P Series models require a notched C15 to NEMA 5-15P power cable (available separately).
3 Connect the power cable to a grounded AC outlet.
4 If you are using a redundant or modular DC power supply, such as the Dell Networking RPS720 for non-PoE switches or the Dell Networking MPS1000 for PoE switches, connect the DC power cable to the DC receptacle located on the back panel. In Figure 1-10 on page 26, the redundant power supply feed is in the middle and is labeled RPS on N1524 and N1548 switches. The modular power supply feed is labeled MPS on N1524P and N1548P switches.

Booting the 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 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.

The Boot menu is automatically invoked after the first part of the POST is completed. To enter the Boot menu, select 2 from the menu when prompted. 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, see the CLI Reference Guide.

Performing the Initial Configuration

The initial configuration procedure is based on the following assumptions:

• The Dell Networking switch does not have a saved configuration.
• The Dell Networking switch booted successfully.
• The console connection is established, and the Dell Easy Setup Wizard prompt appears on the screen of a VT100 terminal or terminal equivalent.

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.

Alternatively, the switch can be configured to boot using DHCP and will obtain an IP address and subnet mask automatically. 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 Dell Networking N1500 Series switches, use any of the switch ports on the front panel for in-band management. By default, all switch ports are members of VLAN 1.

The Dell Easy Setup Wizard includes prompts to configure network information for the VLAN 1 interface on the N1500 Series switch. One can assign a static IP address and subnet mask or enable DHCP and allow a network DHCP server to assign the information.

See the CLI Reference Guide for information about the CLI commands you use to configure network information.

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. It is possible to 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. 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, see 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. You may choose to skip this step if SNMP management is not used for this switch.
• Specifies 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.

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 example below, the possible user options or default values are enclosed in []. If you press with no options defined, the default value is accepted. Help text is in parentheses.

Dell Easy Setup Wizard Console Example

The following example contains the sequence of prompts and responses associated with running an example Dell Easy Setup Wizard session, using the input values listed above.

After the switch completes the POST and is booted, the following dialog appears:

Unit 1 - Waiting to select management unit) >

Applying Global configuration, please wait...

Welcome to Dell Easy Setup Wizard

The Setup Wizard guides you through the initial switch configuration, and gets you up and running as quickly as possible. You can skip the setup wizard, and enter CLI mode to manually configure the switch. You must respond to the next question to run the setup wizard within 60 seconds, otherwise the system will continue with normal operation using the default system configuration. Note: You can exit the setup wizard at any point by entering [ctrl+z].

Would you like to run the setup wizard (you must answer this question within 60 seconds)? [Y/N] y

Step 1:

The system is not set up for SNMP management by default. To manage the switch using SNMP (required for Dell Network Manager) you can

. Set up the initial SNMP version 2 account now.
. Return later and set up other SNMP accounts. (For more information on setting up an SNMP version 1 or 3 account, see the user documentation).

Would you like to set up the SNMP management interface now? [Y/N] y

To set up the SNMP management account you must specify the management system IP address and the "community string" or password that the particular management system uses to access the switch. The wizard

automatically assigns the highest access level [Privilege Level 15] to this account. You can use Dell Network Manager or other management interfaces to change this setting, and to add additional management system information later. For more information on adding management systems, see the user documentation.

To add a management station:

Please enter the SNMP community string to be used.

NOTE: If it is configured, the default access level is set to the highest available access for the SNMP management interface. Initially only SNMPv2 will be activated. SNMPv3 is disabled until you return to configure security access for SNMPv3 (e.g. engine ID, view, etc.).

Please enter the IP address of the Management System (A.B.C.D) or wildcard (0.0.0.0) to manage from any Management Station. [0.0.0.0]: 10.1.2.100

Step 2:

Now we need to set up your initial privilege (Level 15) user account. This account is used to login to the CLI and Web interface. You may set up other accounts and change privilege levels later. For more information on setting up user accounts and changing privilege levels, see the user documentation.

To set up a user account:

Please enter the user name. [root]:admin

Please enter the user password: *****

Please reenter the user password: *****

Step 3:

Next, an IP address is set up on the VLAN 1 routing interface.

You can use the IP address to access the CLI, Web interface, or SNMP interface of the switch.

To access the switch through any Management Interface you can

. Set up the IP address for the Management Interface. . Set up the default gateway if IP address is manually configured on the routing interface.

Step 4:

Next Steps

After completing the initial configuration described in this section, connect any of the front-panel switch ports to your production network for in-band remote management.

If DHCP was configured for the VLAN 1 management interface IP address, the interface will acquire its IP address from a DHCP server on the network. To discover the dynamically-assigned IP address, use the console port connection to issue the following command:

- For the VLAN 1 routing interface, enter show ip interface vlan 1.

To access the Dell OpenManage Switch Administrator interface, enter the VLAN 1 management interface IP address into the address field of a Web browser. For remote management access to the CLI, enter the VLAN 1 management interface IP address into a Telnet or SSH client. Alternatively, you can continue to use the console port for local CLI access to the switch.

The N1500 Series switch supports basic switching features such as VLANs and spanning tree protocol. Use the Web-based management interface or the CLI to configure the features your network requires. For information about how to configure the switch features, see the User's Configuration Guide or CLI Reference Guide available on the support site: dell.com/support.

Welcome to Dell Easy Setup Wizard

The Setup Wizard guides you through the initial switch configuration, and gets you up and running as quickly as possible. You can skip the setup wizard, and enter CLI mode to manually configure the switch. You must respond to the next question to run the setup wizard within 60 seconds, otherwise the system will continue with normal operation using the default system configuration. Note: You can exit the setup wizard at any point by entering [ctrl+z].

Would you like to run the setup wizard (you must answer this question within 60 seconds)? [Y/N] y

Step 1:

The system is not set up for SNMP management by default. To manage the switch using SNMP (required for Dell Network Manager) you can

. Set up the initial SNMP version 2 account now.
. Return later and set up other SNMP accounts. (For more information on setting up an SNMP version 1 or 3 account, see the user documentation).

Would you like to set up the SNMP management interface now? [Y/N] y

To set up the SNMP management account you must specify the management system IP address and the "community string" or password that the particular management system uses to access the switch. The wizard

automatically assigns the highest access level [Privilege Level 15] to this account. You can use Dell Network Manager or other management interfaces to change this setting, and to add additional management system information later. For more information on adding management systems, see the user documentation.

To add a management station:

Please enter the SNMP community string to be used.

Please enter the IP address of the Management System (A.B.C.D) or wildcard (0.0.0.0) to manage from any Management Station. [0.0.0.0]: 10.1.2.100

Step 2:

Now we need to set up your initial privilege (Level 15) user account. This account is used to login to the CLI and Web interface. You may set up other accounts and change privilege levels later. For more information on setting up user accounts and changing privilege levels, see the user documentation.

To set up a user account:

Please enter the user name. [root]:admin

Please enter the user password: *********

Please reenter the user password: *****

Step 3:

Next, an IP address is set up on the VLAN 1 routing interface.

You can use the IP address to access the CLI, Web interface, or SNMP interface of the switch.

To access the switch through any Management Interface you can

. Set up the IP address for the Management Interface. . Set up the default gateway if IP address is manually configured on the routing interface.

Step 4:

Would you like to set up the VLAN1 routing interface now? [Y/N] y

Please enter the IP address of the device (A.B.C.D) or enter "DHCP" (without the quotes) to automatically request an IP address from the network DHCP server:

10.1.1.200

Please enter the IP subnet mask (A.B.C.D or /nn):

255.255.255.0

Step 5:

Finally, set up the default gateway. Please enter the IP address of the gateway from which this network is reachable. [0.0.0.0]: 10.1.1.1

This is the configuration information that has been collected:

SNMP Interface = "public"@10.1.2.100

User Account setup = admin

Password = *****

VLAN1 Router Interface IP = 10.1.1.200 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway = 10.1.1.1

Step 6:

If the information is correct, please enter (Y) to save the configuration and copy the settings to the start-up configuration file. If the information is incorrect, enter (N) to discard the configuration and restart the wizard: [Y/N] y

Thank you for using the Dell Easy Setup Wizard. You will now enter CLI mode.
