Introduction This document provides basic information about the Dell® EMC™ Networking N2200 Series switches, including how to install a switch and perform the initial configuration. For information about how to configure and monitor switch features, see the User’s Configuration Guide, which is available on the Dell Support website at dell.com/support/manuals, for the latest updates on documentation and firmware.
N2200 Series Hardware Overview Dell EMC Networking N2200-ON Series Switch Hardware This section contains information about device characteristics and modular hardware configurations for the Dell EMC Networking N2200 Series switches.
Figure 1-1. Dell EMC Networking N2248PX-ON Switch (Front Panel) N2200-ON Series Rear Panel The Dell EMC Networking N2200-ON Series back panel has two 40G QSFP stacking ports in the rear. It also has two slots for power supplies, and two (N2224X-ON/N2224PX-ON) or three (N2248X-ON/N2248PX-ON) hot-swap fan trays. Figure 1-2.
mode. All four SFP28 ports must be configured to operate at the same speed. 25GBASE-CR and 10G-BASE-CR modes (copper twin-ax or DAC cables) require the use of auto-negotiation. • The default behavior is to log a message and generate an SNMP trap on insertion or removal of a transceiver that is not qualified by Dell. The message and trap can be suppressed by using the service unsupportedtransceiver command. On the N2224X-ON/N2224PX-ON switches, ports 1-12 may be configured to support 10M/100M half-duplex.
Figure 1-3. Dell EMC Networking N2248 Console Port A separate USB micro type B port is also available for console access to the CPU CLI. RS-232 emulation over USB is supported on this port. A driver may need to be installed to support the RS-232 emulation. Only one of the console ports may be used at a time. N2200-ON Series USB Port The Type-A, female USB port supports a USB 3.0-compliant flash memory drive.
To clear the configuration and reset the switch, press the reset button for at least eight seconds. The saved configuration is cleared and the switch reboots. The switch then starts the autoconfiguration process. N2200-ON Series Port and System LEDs The front panel contains light emitting diodes (LEDs) that indicate the status of system temperature, port links, power supplies, fans, stacking, and the overall system status. A locator beacon capability is also present on the system LEDs.

Stack Master Stack No. N2200 Installation Site Preparation N2200 Series switches can be mounted in a standard 48.26 cm (19-inch) rack or placed on a flat surface.
Unpacking the N2200 Switch Package Contents When unpacking each switch, make sure that the following items are included: • One Dell Networking switch • One RJ-45 to DB-9 female cable • One rack-mount kit (N2200) for rack installation, two mounting brackets, bolts, and cage nuts • One set of self-adhesive rubber pads for the free-standing switch (four pads are included) Unpacking Steps NOTE: Before unpacking the switch, inspect the container and immediately report any evidence of damage.
CAUTION: Disconnect all cables from the switch before continuing. Remove all self-adhesive pads from the underside of the switch, if they have been attached. CAUTION: When mounting multiple switches into a rack, mount the switches from the bottom up. 1 Place the supplied rack-mounting bracket on one side of the switch, ensuring that the mounting holes on the switch line up to the mounting holes in the rack-mounting bracket. Figure 1-5 illustrates where to mount the brackets. Figure 1-5.
Installing as a Free-standing Switch NOTE: We strongly recommend mounting the switch in a rack. Install the switch on a flat surface if you are not installing it in a rack. The surface must be able to support the weight of the switch and the switch cables. The switch is supplied with four self-adhesive rubber pads. 1 Attach the self-adhesive rubber pads on each location marked on the bottom of the switch.
Figure 1-6. Connecting a Stack of Switches Unit 1 Unit 2 Unit 3 The stack in Figure 1-6 is connected in a ring topology and has the following physical connections between the switches: • The bottom QSFP port on Unit 1 is connected to the top QSFP port on Unit 2. • The bottom QSFP port on Unit 2 is connected to the top QSFP port on Unit 3. • The bottom QSFP port on Unit 3 is connected to the top QSFP port on Unit 1.
Starting and Configuring the N2200 Switch The following flow chart provides an overview of the steps you use to perform the initial configuration after the switch is unpacked and mounted. Figure 1-7.
Connecting a N2200 Switch to a Terminal After completing all external connections, connect a terminal to a switch to configure the switch. NOTE: Read the Release Notes for this product before proceeding. You can download the Release Notes from the Dell Support website at dell.com/support/manuals. NOTE: We recommend that you obtain the most recent version of the user documentation from the Dell Support website at dell.com/support/manuals.
3 Connect the RJ-45 connector on the cable directly to the switch console port. The Dell Networking console port is located on the right side of the front panel and is labeled with a |O|O| symbol, as shown in Figure 1-8 on page 20. NOTE: Serial console access to the stack manager is available from any serial port via the local CLI. Only one serial console session at a time is supported. Figure 1-8.
4 If you are using a redundant or external DC power supply, such as the Dell Networking RPS720, connect the DC power cable to the DC receptacle located on the back panel. In Figure 1-9 on page 21, the redundant power supply feed is in the middle and is labeled RPS. Figure 1-9.
• The Dell Networking switch booted successfully. • The console connection was established, and the Dell Easy Setup Wizard prompt appears on the screen of a VT100 terminal or terminal equivalent. The initial switch configuration is performed through the console port. After the initial configuration, you can manage the switch from the alreadyconnected console port or remotely through an interface defined during the initial configuration.
Initial Configuration Procedure You can perform the initial configuration by using the Dell Easy Setup Wizard or by using the CLI. The wizard automatically starts when the switch configuration file is empty. You can exit the wizard at any point by entering [ctrl+z], but all configuration settings specified will be discarded, and the switch will use the default values.
• The default gateway is 10.1.1.1 The setup wizard configures the initial values as defined above. After completing the wizard, the switch is configured as follows: • SNMPv2 is enabled and the community string is set up as defined above. SNMPv3 is disabled by default. • The admin user account is set up as defined. • A network management system is configured. From the management station, you can access the SNMP, HTTP, and CLI interfaces.
Would you like to run the setup wizard (you must answer this question within 60 seconds)? [Y/N] y Step 1: The system is not set up for SNMP management by default. To manage the switch using SNMP (required for Dell Network Manager) you can . Set up the initial SNMP version 2 account now. . Return later and set up other SNMP accounts. (For more information on setting up an SNMP version 1 or 3 account, see the user documentation).
Now we need to set up your initial privilege (Level 15) user account. This account is used to login to the CLI and Web interface. You may set up other accounts and change privilege levels later. For more information on setting up user accounts and changing privilege levels, see the user documentation. To set up a user account: Please enter the user name.
This is the configuration information that has been collected: SNMP Interface = “public”@10.1.2.100 User Account setup = admin Password = ******** VLAN1 Router Interface IP = 10.1.1.200 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway = 10.1.1.1 Step 6: If the information is correct, please enter (Y) to save the configuration and copy the settings to the start-up configuration file.
Your N2200-ON switch supports basic switching features such as VLANs and spanning tree protocol. Use the Web-based management interface or the CLI to configure the features your network requires. For information about how to configure the switch features, see the User’s Configuration Guide or CLI Reference Guide available on the support site: dell.com/support/manuals. Specifications This section lists the N2200-ON Series switch specifications.
