New Dell Networking OS Version 9.14(2.14) 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 a S6100-ON switch, but Dell Networking does not guarantee their performance as the S6100-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 a SFP28, QSFP+, or QSFP28 port, the switch places the interface in an error-disabled (operationally down) state and generates a syslog message, such as: % S 6 1 0 0 L C 0 6 4 0 : 8
  % I F A G T – 2 – T R A N S C E I V E R U N S U P P O R T E D E R R O R : T r a n s c e i v e r i n s l o t 1 p o r t 4 9 u n r e c o g n i z e d , p u t t i n g i n t e r f a c e i n o p e r a t i o n a l – d o w n s t a t e.
  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:
  a. SmartScripts
  b. Puppet
  c. Open management infrastructure (OMI)
  d. 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, see the respective Dell System Release Notes.

• If you downgrade the Dell Networking OS version from 9.14.2.14 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 ( c o n f d c d b . t a r . g z . v e r s i o n and c o n f d c d b . t a r . g z). To remove the files, use the following steps:

• In a VXLAN scenario, hybrid port is not supported.

• While deploying the system in the normal-reload mode in BMP configuration, use the i p s s h s e r v e r e n a b l e command at the beginning of the startup configuration if the w r i t e m e m o r y command is used at the end of the configuration.

• Do not configure the v x l a n – i n s t a n c e command on the port, which is configured with the p o r t m o d e h y b r i d command. Do not configure the vxlan-instance enabled port as a member of VLAN, which does not have VXLAN-VNI configuration.

• File system partition:

  • The ONIE installer, of OS versions 9.10(0.1P9) and later, changes the file system partition scheme to facilitate the installation of certain third-party networking operating systems.
  • If you have installed Dell Networking OS using the O N I E i n s t a l l option, you cannot downgrade from Dell Networking OS 9.14(2.14) to versions earlier than 9.10(0.1P9), using the u p g r a d e s y s t e m command, due to file system partition compatibility issues.
    NOTE: The above restriction is not applicable if you have upgraded Dell Networking OS using the u p g r a d e s y s t e m command, instead of the O N I E i n s t a l l option.

•  To downgrade Dell Networking OS version 9.14(2.14) to a version earlier than 9.10(0.1P9), follow these steps:
  1. From the ONIE menu, use the O N I E u n i n s t a l l option to uninstall Dell Networking OS 9.14(2.14).
  2. Use the O N I E i n s t a l l option to install the older version of Dell Networking OS.

• To downgrade Dell Networking OS version 9.14(2.14) to a version earlier than 9.10(0.1P9), follow these steps:
  1. From the ONIE menu, use the O N I E u n i n s t a l l option to uninstall Dell Networking OS 9.14(2.14).
  2. Use the O N I E i n s t a l l option to install the older version of Dell Networking OS.

• REST API does not support AAA authentication.

• The systems shipped with OS 9.11(1.0) and above might contain one of the following chipsets:
  ○ BCM56960_B1 chipset with part number F6N2R or 6N1J1.
  ○ BCM56960_B0 chipset with part number KPX54 or H68CJ.
  You can check the part number using the s h o w i n v e n t o r y command.

• In a system using BCM56960_B1 chipset, you cannot downgrade from Dell Networking OS 9.14(2.14) to OS versions earlier than 9.10(0.2), due to NPU compatibility issues.
  NOTE: The above restriction is not applicable for systems using BCM56960_B0 chipset.

• You cannot use the e s t a b l i s h e d keyword in an ACL rule, along with the other control flags.

• While using the e s t a b l i s h e d keyword in an ACL rule, all the other TCP control flags are masked, to avoid redundant TCP control flags configuration in a single rule. When you use any TCP control flag in an ACL rule, e s t a b l i s h e d is masked and
  other control flags are available.

• DIAG version can also be 3.25.4.1

• 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.

• The following features are not available in Dell Networking OS:

  • Protocol-independent multicast (PIM) equal cost multi path (ECMP)
  • Static Internet group management protocol (IGMP) join ( i p i g m p s t a t i c – g r o u p)
  • IGMP queried timeout configuration ( i p i g m p q u e r i e r – t i m e o u t)
  • IGMP group join limit ( i p i g m p g r o u p j o i n – l i m i t)

• When 1024 or more VNI profiles are configured, the system takes more time to load. Dell recommends to restrict the VNI profiles to be less than 1000.

• If you use the i n t e r f a c e r a n g e command to select multiple interfaces that are added to the management VRF, the i p v 6 a d d r e s s command does not display the a u t o c o n f i g option. You can configure the a u t o c o n f i g command on individual interfaces.

• If you use the i n t e r f a c e r a n g e command to select multiple interfaces that are added to the management VRF, the i p v 6 n d command displays the following options but they do not take effect if you use them:

  • dns-server
  • hop-limit
  • managed-config-flag
  • max-ra-interval
  • mtu
  • other-config-flag
  • prefix
  • ra-guard
  • ra-lifetime
  • reachable-time
  • retrans-timer
  • suppress-none

Manual Upgrade Procedure
The ONIE installer, of OS versions 9.10(0.1P9) and later, changes the file system partition scheme to facilitate the installation of certain third-party networking operating systems.
If you have installed Dell Networking OS using the O N I E i n s t a l l option, you cannot downgrade from Dell Networking OS
9.14(2.14) to versions earlier than 9.10(0.1P9), using the u p g r a d e s y s t e m command, due to file system partition compatibility issues. If you try to downgrade, the system displays the following error message:

To downgrade Dell Networking OS version 9.14(2.14) to versions earlier than 9.10(0.1P9), follow these steps:

1. From the ONIE menu, use the O N I E u n i n s t a l l option to uninstall Dell Networking OS 9.14(2.14).
2. Use the O N I E i n s t a l l option to install the older version of Dell Networking OS.

You can upgrade or downgrade to any version, if you have upgraded Dell Networking OS using the u p g r a d e s y s t e m command, instead of the O N I E i n s t a l l option.
The systems shipped with OS 9.14(2.14) and above might contain one of the following chipsets:

• BCM56960_B1 chipset with part number F6N2R or 6N1J1.
• BCM56960_B0 chipset with part number KPX54 or H68CJ.

You can check the part number using the s h o w i n v e n t o r y command
In a system using BCM56960_B1 chipset, you cannot downgrade from Dell Networking OS 9.14(2.14) to OS versions earlier than 9.10(0.2), due to NPU compatibility issues.
In a system using BCM56960_B1 chipset, if you try to downgrade from OS 9.14(2.14) to OS versions earlier than 9.10(0.2) using BMP or the u p g r a d e command, the system displays the following error message:

You can upgrade or downgrade the OS to any version in systems using BCM56960_B0 chipset.
