Configuring Basic Layer 2 Features
Table 57 lists the individual Dell PowerConnect switches and the basic Layer 2 features they
support.
The procedures in this chapter describe how to configure basic Layer 2 parameters.
Dell PowerConnect devices are configured at the factory with default parameters that allow you to
begin using the basic features of the system immediately. However, many of the advanced features
such as VLANs or routing protocols for the device must first be enabled at the system (global) level
before they can be configured. If you use the Command Line Interface (CLI) to configure system
parameters, you can find these system level parameters at the Global CONFIG level of the CLI.
NOTES:
Before assigning or modifying any router parameters, you must assign the IP subnet
(interface) addresses for each port.
