Accessing the Dell CEE Switch
After you log on to the switch, you can access the commands through a serial terminal port or a
Telnet session. When you Telnet into the switch, you are prompted to enter a login name and
password. When you log on to a switch supporting CEE, all of the 10 Gbps ports are disabled and
must be enabled. Refer to the Fibre Channel over Ethernet Administrator’s Guide for information
regarding feature configuration and management procedures.
Following is an example of logging in to a switch supporting FCoE and CEE.
