New Dell Networking OS Version 9.14(1.12) Features
The following features have been added to the S3048-ON with Dell Networking OS version 9.14(1.12): None.

Restrictions

• If you downgrade the Dell Networking OS from 9.14(1.12) to 9.11(0.0) or any older version, the system displays the following error message even though there is no functional impact
  • CDB boot error: C.cdb file format
• 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:
  • DellEMC#write memory
  • DellEMC#delete flash://confd_cdb.tar.gz.version
  • DellEMC#delete flash://confd_cdb.tar.gz
  • DellEMC#reload
• 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

Following default behavior and CLI syntax changes occurred during the Dell Networking OS release:
To enhance security, the default RSA key size has been changed to 2048 bits from 1024 bits from 9.14.1.10 onwards.

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 3.24.0.0-11. You can verify this version using show system stack-unit 1 command. To upgrade the CPLD image on S3048-ON, follow these steps.

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

   • DellEMC#upgrade fpga-image stack-unit 1 booted
   • Current information for the system: ========================================================================
   • Card Device Name Current Version New Version ————————————————————————
   • Unit1 S3048-ON SYSTEM CPLD 8 9
   • Unit1 S3048-ON MODULE CPLD 6 7 ***
   • • Warning – Upgrading FPGA is inherently risky and should *
   • • only be attempted when necessary. A failure at this upgrade may *
   • • cause a board RMA. Proceed with caution ! * ***
   • Upgrade image for stack-unit 1 [yes/no]: yes
   • FPGA upgrade in progress!!! Please do NOT power off the unit!!!
   • !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
   • Upgrade result : ================
   • Unit 1 FPGA upgrade successful. Power cycle the Unit 1 to complete the upgrade.
   • DellEMC#00:04:11: %S3048-ON:1 %DOWNLOAD-6-FPGA_UPGRADE: stack-unit 1 fpga upgrade success.
   • DellEMC#
   • Need to power cycle the unit to complete the FPGA upgrade.

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:

   • DellEMC#power-cycle stack-unit 1 Proceed with power-cycle? Confirm [yes/no]:yes

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

   • DellEMC#show revision
   • — Stack unit 1 —
   • S3048-ON SYSTEM CPLD : 9
   • S3048-ON MODULE CPLD : 7

Upgrade the BIOS from Dell Networking OS

To upgrade the BIOS from Dell Networking OS, perform the following steps:

1. Upgrade the S3048-ON Boot Flash image. upgrade boot bootflash-image stack-unit [ | all] [booted | flash: | ftp: | scp: | tftp: | usbflash:] EXEC Privilege

   • DellEMC#upgrade boot bootflash-image stack-unit 1 booted
   • Current Boot information in the system: =====================================================================
   • Card BootFlash Current Version New Version ———————————————————————
   • Unit1 Boot Flash 3.24.2.3 3.24.2.9 ***
   • • Warning – Upgrading boot flash is inherently risky and should only *
   • • be attempted when necessary. A failure at this upgrade may cause *
   • • a board RMA. Proceed with caution ! * ***
   • Proceed upgrade Boot Flash image for stack-unit 1 [yes/no]: yes !!!!!
   • Bootflash image upgrade for stack-unit 1 completed successfully.

2. Upgrade the S3048-ON Boot Selector image.
   upgrade boot bootseletor-image stack-unit [ | all] [booted | flash: | ftp: | scp: | tftp: | usbflash:] EXEC Privilege
   Dell Networking OS version 9.14(1.12) requires S3048-ON Boot Selector image version 3.24.0.0-11. The booted option is used to upgrade the Boot Selector image to the image version packed with the loaded Dell Networking OS image. The Boot Selector image version packed with the loaded Dell Networking OS can be found using the show os-version command in
   EXEC Privilege mode.

   • DellEMC#upgrade boot bootselector-image stack-unit 1 booted
     Current Boot information in the system:

   • Card BootSelector Current Version New Version ————————————————————————

   • Unit1 Boot Selector 3.24.0.0-9 3.24.0.0-11 ***

   • • Warning – Upgrading boot selectors is inherently risky and should *
   • • only be attempted when necessary. A failure at this upgrade may *
   • • cause a board RMA. Proceed with caution ! * ***

   • Proceed upgrade Boot Selector image for stack-unit 1 [yes/no]: yes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!00:02:33: %S3048-ON:1 %CHMGR-2-

   • FAN_SPEED_CHANGE: Fan speed changed to 52 % of the full speed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

   • Bootselector image upgrade for stack-unit 1 completed successfully.

3. Reload the unit reload
   EXEC Privilege

4. Verify the Boot Selector image show system stack-unit
   EXEC Privilege
