Here are the user guides for that switch. <ADMIN NOTE: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell> Page 50 of the user guide goes over initial configuration. The Setup Wizard configures the following fields. • SNMP Community String and SNMP Management System IP address (optional) • Username and Password • Device IP address • Default Gateway IP address You can also use the CLI to manually set these parameters as well.  You would set the parameters on VLAN 1, as VLAN 1 is the default management VLAN. Once set then you can use that IP address to access the switch through Web Browser, SSH, Telnet, etc. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks.
Hi all, I have just taken charge of a network with a PowerConnect 3548 at its core.  The previous admin just treated it as plug and play and as a result never configured it.  Is there any easy way to configure it with an IP and enable SSH access and the web interface (I do have console access) or will I have to factory reset the device and step through the initial configuration interface, before I can get remote access?
