Default Configuration; Configuring Layer 2 (Data Link) Mode; Configuring A Host Name - Dell Networking S6000 Guía De Introducción

Default Configuration

A version of FTOS is pre-loaded onto the S6000 system; however, the system is not
configured when you power up for the first time (except for the default host name, which
is FTOS ). You must configure the system using the CLI.

Configuring Layer 2 (Data Link) Mode

To enable Layer 2 data transmissions through an individual interface, use the
switchport command in INTERFACE mode. You cannot configure switching or
Layer 2 protocols such as spanning tree protocol (STP) on an interface unless
the interface has been set to Layer 2 mode.
To configure Layer 2 mode, follow these steps.
Step Task

mode.
To view the interfaces in Layer 2 mode, use the show interfaces switchport
command in EXEC mode.

Configuring a Host Name

The host name appears in the prompt. The default host name is FTOS. Host
names must start with a letter, end with a letter or digit, and must have
characters, letters, digits, and hyphens in the string.
To configure a host name, follow this step.
