For example, the aggregation of configuration options over several ports is somewhat erratic. Also, this beast absolutely refuses to put VLAN 1 dot1q encapsulated on a trunk, and my hopes to get around that strange limitation through the command line were disappointed: the command "switchport trunk allowed vlan add 1" is rejected with the strange message: "VLAN 1: VLAN was not created by user." Oh well. At least I get an explicit error message instead of strange GUI malfunctions. And even just being able to see the entire configuration as a text file is enormously helpful. Many thanks for that! Very nice, although there are a few infuriatingly unciscoish kinks.

Dell PowerConnect switches use mcli password 'mcli', and debug password 'debug'. if you want to go into the mcli menu the password is mcliadmin, debug password is ‘admindebug’ (thanks, ReidMeFirst!)

Dell PowerConnect switches use mcli password ‘mcli’, and debug password ‘debug’.
