How to set up ports on a VLAN?
I have a PowerConnect 5448 and can not get it to work the way I want it.
Technically all I need is for it to be unmanaged but there seems to be no way to put it in a truly unmanaged mode.
Therefore I have so far tried to set it up via CLI in the following way:
Port 1: WAN Port for VLAN1
Port 2-48: Device Ports on VLAN1
I can not access the Web Interface for some reason (I am using the IP that switch has been assigned) and I can not figure out (even after loots of googling how to get the ports properly assigned for this). I have gone through the setup wizard, created VLAN1 and tried to get the ports assigned but no way.
- How is a port assigned to a VLAN? switchport access vlan1 doesn't seem to help
-How do I check which VLAN a port is assigned to? show interfaces status helps when Dell types it in but when I do it, the whole VLAN column is just missing
-What type of mode does the WAN port need? Access? Trunked?
Really all I want is ethernet on any device I plug into the switch. On a sidenote, my switch thinks it's 2006 and no matter wether I enter the time manually or try to make it grab it from a sntp server, it doesn't care.
Desperate,
me

@DELL-Chris H
I might have immediately messed up the credentials for the other account, so new one it is.
I have resetted the switch several times via the reset button with a SIM needle. I have erased the flash file in BIOS numerous times, as stated I have gone through the setup wizard again (which required deleting the start-up file). During this process the OS was reloaded atleast a dozen times, both via software and by physically pulling the plug.
I use PuTTY to connect to the switch via a RJ45 to USB A rollover cable.
I mistakenly stated the switch is a 5448 when it in reality is a 5548 which I am not sure if it makes a difference for CLI but explains the RJ45 management port instead of a RS232 serial port.
Thank you for the quick answer

Maybe it's easier to do it this way: If I were to reset the switch and go through the setup wizard again, what would be the step by step (or even better command by command) sequence to get the switch working with port 1 as WAN and the rest as LAN ports for devices?
