    (I/O to Utility or Utility to I/O). The power supplies and fans must have the same color strap. If you mismatch the airflows, the following error message appears and the system shuts down: 00:02:19: %S5000:0 %CHMGR-2-PSU_TYPE_AIRFLOW_MISMATCH: Mismatching PSU airflow detected. Unit 0 shall get shutdown in next 60 seconds if mismatch not rectified.

    – 5 is for inputting a password that is already encrypted using an MD5 hash. Obtain the encrypted password from the configuration file of another Dell Networking system. Configuring a Host Name The host name appears in the prompt. The default host name is FTOS. Host names must start with a letter, end with a letter or digit, and must have characters, letters, digits, and hyphens in the string.

  • Page 32: Default Configuration

    Default Configuration A version of FTOS is preloaded onto the S5000; however, the system is not configured when you power up for the first time (except for the default host name, which is FTOS). You must configure the system using the CLI.

Creating a Port-based VLAN The default virtual local area network (VLAN) (VLAN 1) is part of the system startup configuration and does not require configuration.
  • Page 34 Assigning Interfaces to a VLAN You can only assign interfaces in Layer 2 mode to a VLAN using the tagged and untagged commands. To place an interface in Layer 2 mode, use the switchport command. You can designate Layer 2 interfaces as tagged or untagged. When you place an interface in Layer 2 mode using the switchport command, the interface is automatically designated untagged and placed in the Default VLAN.
