Thats a loaded question. One that cannot be easiy answered here.
Grab the user guide and CLI guide: http://www.helpowl.com/manuals/Dell/PowerConnect8024/106791
Everything is explained there. It uses Cisco like commands. Even though we can explain the commands there is no way anyone here can explain how to set it up since your setup will be unique to you.
You'll need to read the manual.
