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.

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 S3048-ON systems:

  1. Dell Technologies recommends that you back up your startup configuration and any important files and directories to an external media prior to upgrading the system.
    NOTE : If you are upgrading from Dell Networking OS version 9.10.0.1P5 or earlier, you cannot directly upgrade to version 9.14(1.12). Upgrade to version 9.10(0.1P8) first and then upgrade to the required version.

The S3048-ON system with Dell Networking OS Version 9.14(1.12) requires System CPLD revision 9 and Module CPLD revision 7.
NOTE : If your CPLD revisions are higher than the ones shown here, DO NOT make any changes. If you have questions regarding the CPLD revision, contact technical support.

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

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

Use the following command to view CPLD version that is associated with the Dell Networking OS image:

  • DellEMC#show os-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 3.24.0.0-11. 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

  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

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

    • 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:
