To configure a new S4100 series switch (Ex S4128F-on) we can use below details:

Default baud-rate for console

The first option to get connected to a new switch is via console. For Dell switches while using the micro-usb port present on the switch, connect via Putty or hyperterminal with baud rate:

115200 baud rate, 8 data bits, and no parity.


Default username password

After connecting to a new switch the default username:password are:

admin:admin


Configure management IP

After connecting to console configure management IP and hostname: 

config t
    hostname <switch-name>
    interface mgmt 1/1/1
        no ip address dhcp
        ip address <address>/mask 
        no shut

In case VLT is planned then decide what management IP to give. In case of VLT we need the management connectivity between two switches. See Configure VLT between two Dell S4128T-on or S4128F-on switches


Enable SSH

Enable SSH on the switch for remote access: 

config t
    ip ssh server enable


Create sysadmin role user or change admin user password

Create a new user or change existing admin user password: 

config t
    username admin password <plaint-text-password> role sysadmin


Firmware update

Optionally update firmware as described at Upgrading firwmare on S4100 series Dell switches with OS 10


Create VLANs or interface vlans

For L2 VLANs we can do: 

config t
    interface vlan <vlan-id>
        no shut

For L3 interfaces with IPs 

config t
    interface vlan <vlan-id>
        ip address <address>/<mask>
        no shut
        mtu 9216


Configure VLT

Based on HA requirement between two switches see Configure VLT between two Dell S4128T-on or S4128F-on switches
