NOTE: If all the five fan trays are found to be empty or faulty, the system shuts down after one minute.

Supported Software

The following software is supported with this platform:

New Dell Networking OS Version 9.14(2.20) Features
The following features are integrated into the Dell Networking 9.14.2 branch through this release: None.

Restrictions

• You can use non-Dell-qualified cables, adapters, and optics in an S6010-ON switch, but Dell Networking does not guarantee their performance as the S6010-ON does not support non-Dell-qualified transceivers of 25G and above. If you insert a non-Dell qualified transceiver of 25G and above into an SFP28, QSFP+, or QSFP28 port, the switch places the interface in an error-disabled (operationally down) state and generates a syslog message, such as: %S6010LC0640:8 %IFAGT-2-TRANSCEIVER_UNSUPPORTED_ERROR: Transceiver in slot 1 port 49 unrecognized, putting the interface in the operational-down state. To verify the error-disabled status of an interface, enter any of the following show commands.

• Prerequisite steps to upgrade the Dell Networking OS from earlier version to 9.14.2.0 or later:
  1. Uninstall the older version of the Open Automation (OA) package
  2. Upgrade the Dell Networking OS to 9.14.2.0 or later version
  3. Install the following OA packages from the respective upgraded version:
  • SmartScripts
  • Puppet
  • Open management infrastructure (OMI)
  • SNMP MIB

Prerequisite steps to downgrade the Dell Networking OS from 9.14.2.0 or later to the earlier version:

1. Uninstall the OA package of 9.14.2.0 or later version
2. Downgrade the Dell Networking OS to an earlier version
3. Install the respective OA package from an earlier version

For more information about installing, uninstalling and upgrading the Dell Networking OS and OA package, refer the respective Dell System Release Notes.

• If you downgrade the Dell Networking OS version from 9.14.2.20 to 9.11.0.0 or any older versions, the system displays the following error message even though there is no functional impact:

Before downgrading, save the current configuration and then remove the CDB files (confd_cdb.tar.gz.version and confd_cdb.tar.gz). To remove the files, use the following steps:

• While deploying the system in the normal-reload mode in BMP configuration, use the ip ssh server enable command at the beginning of the startup configuration if the write memory command is used at the end of the configuration.
• REST API does not support AAA authentication.
• The following features are not available in the Dell Networking OS from version 9.7(0.0):
  • PIM ECMP
  • Static IGMP join (ip igmp static-group)
  • IGMP querier timeout configuration (ip igmp querier-timeout)
  • IGMP group join limit (ip igmp group join-limit)
• Half-Duplex mode is not supported.
• When FRRP is enabled in a VLT domain, no flavor of Spanning tree should concurrently be enabled on the nodes of that specific VLT domain. In essence FRRP and xSTP should not co-exist in a VLT environment.

Changes to Default Behavior and CLI Syntax
The following behavior and CLI changes are applicable to the S6010–ON switch with Dell Networking OS version 9.14(2.20): None.

Documentation Corrections
This section describes the errors identified in the current release of the Dell Networking OS.

• The router bgp command allows you to configure only one L3 interface with an IPv4 address. The Configuration guide does not mention this limitation and will be corrected in the next release of the guide.

Networking OS CLI

Bare Metal Provisioning

NOTE: If you are using Bare Metal Provisioning (BMP), see the Bare Metal Provisioning topic in the Dell Networking OS Configuration Guide or the Open Automation Guide.

Manual Upgrade Procedure
Follow these steps carefully to upgrade your S6010-ON systems:

1. Dell Networking recommends that you back up your startup configuration and any important files and directories to an external media prior to upgrading the system.

2. Upgrade the Dell Networking OS in flash partition A: or B:
   EXEC Privilege Mode

3. Verify that the Dell Networking OS has been upgraded correctly in the upgraded flash partition.
   EXEC Privilege Mode
   show boot system stack-unit [1-6] | all]

4. Upgrade the S6010-ON Boot Flash and Boot Selector images.
   EXEC Privilege Mode
   The Boot Flash and Boot Selector images can be upgraded together by selecting all in the command. If you want to upgrade Boot Flash image or Boot Selector image separately, use the bootflash-image or the bootselector-image options separately. Use the booted option to upgrade the Boot flash and Boot Selector images to the image versions packed with the loaded Dell Networking OS image. You can find the Boot Flash and Boot Selector image versions packed with the loaded Dell Networking OS using the show os-version command in the EXEC PRIVILEGE mode. Dell #upgrade boot all stack-unit 1 booted

5. Change the Primary Boot Parameter of the S6010-ON to the upgraded partition A: or B: CONFIGURATION Mode

6. Save the configuration so that the configuration will be retained after a reload using write memory command.
   EXEC Privilege Mode

7. Reload the unit. EXEC Privilege Mode reload write memory

8. Verify that the ONIE has been upgraded to the Dell Networking OS version 9.14(2.20). EXEC Privilege Mode show version

9. Verify that the ONIE has been upgraded to the latest Boot Flash and Boot Selector images. EXEC Privilege Mode show system stack-unit [1-6]

Upgrading the CPLD

The S6010-ON system with Dell Networking OS Version 9.14(2.20) requires System CPLD revision 12, Master CPLD revision 12, and Slave CPLD revision 5.

Verify that a CPLD upgrade is required
Use the following command to identify the CPLD version:

Upgrading the CPLD Image

NOTE: The upgrade fpga-image stack-unit 1 booted command is hidden when using the FPGA Upgrade feature in the CLI. However, it is a supported command and will be accepted when entered as documented.
NOTE: Ensure that the BIOS version is 3.26.0.0-4. You can verify this version using show system stack-unit 1 command.

To upgrade the CPLD image on S6010-ON, follow these steps.

1. Upgrade the CPLD image. EXEC Privilege Mode upgrade fpga-image stack-unit booted

2. Power cycle the system physically. Switch off the system by unplugging the power chords from the REAR PSUs and wait until the PSU FAN–REAR STATUS LED is completely OFF.
   NOTE: Do not switch on the system with PSU–REAR LED glowing AMBER. You can alternatively power cycle the switch using the power-cycle stack-unit <1-6> command as follows:

3. The CPLD version can be verified using show revision command output: EXEC Privilege Mode show revision

Uninstalling Dell Networking OS from the S6010-ON

To uninstall the Dell Networking OS version 9.14(2.20) from the S6010-ON device, perform the following steps:

1. Reboot the system. During the reboot process, the system displays the following message prompting you to press the Esc key in order to stop the auto-boot process:

2. At this prompt message, press the Esc key. The following menu appears:
