Configure Layer 2 (Data Link) Mode

Use the switchport command in INTERFACE mode to enable Layer 2 data

transmissions through an individual interface. The user cannot configure

switching or Layer 2 protocols such as the spanning tree protocol on an interface

unless the interface has been set to Layer 2 mode.

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

command in the EXEC mode.

Configure a Host Name

The host name appears in the prompt. The default host name is Force10.

• Host names must start with a letter and end with a letter or digit.

• Characters within the string can be letters, digits, and hyphens.

Access the System Remotely

You can configure the system to be accessed remotely by Telnet.

The E-Series systems have a dedicated management port and a management

routing table that is separate from the IP routing table.

Configuring the system for Telnet is a three-step process:

• Configure an IP address for the management port.

• Configure a management route with a default gateway.

• Configure a username and password.
