New in This Release
The following features are integrated into the Dell Networking 9.14.2 branch through this release:
None.

Known Behavior
When installing and configuring the C9010 and C1048P, note the following hardware and software behavior and restrictions.

Known Hardware Behavior

• The port numbering on C9010 line-card ports is 0-based; the lowest-numbered port is 0. The port numbering on C1048P PE ports is 1-based; the lowest-numbered port is 1.
  On both C9010 line cards and C1048P, N20xx, and N30xx PEs, odd-numbered ports are located in the upper row.

• You can connect up to 40 C1048P, N20xx, or N30xx port extenders (standalone and stacked) to a C9010 switch.

• While the C1048P, N20xx, or N30xx boot up in standalone or stacking mode, the Stack Master LED is solid green. After the PEs boots up, the Stack Master LED is off if it operates as a stack member or stack standby. The LED stays solid green if the PE operates as a stack master or in standalone mode.

• If you split a PE stack in a daisy-chain topology into two sub-stacks and each sub-stack has a PE uplink to the controlling bridge, the C9010 detects the stack split and generates an alarm. System administrator intervention is required to diagnose and correct the split condition; for example, check cable connections or reboot stack units to reactivate each PE stack.

• To locate a C1048P, N20xx, or N30xx, use the location-led pe pe-id stack-unit unit-number {on|off} command to illuminate the Power/Locator LED on the PE. When the LED is turned on, it blinks green; when the LED setting is turned off, it displays solid green.

• You can use non-Dell qualified cables, adapters, and optics in a C9010 switch and C1048P, N20xx, or N30xx port extender, but Dell Networking does not guarantee their performance. If you plug a non-Dell qualified optic into a port, the Dell Networking OS detects it and makes it operational. The system displays a syslog message similar to the following:
  %C9000LC0640:8 %IFAGT-5-UNSUP_OPTICS: Non-qualified optics in slot 8 port 1
  NOTE: Non-Dell qualified 40G transceivers are not supported on the C9010. If you insert a non-Dell qualified 40G transceiver into a C9010 40GbE port, the switch places the interface in an error-disabled (operationally down) state
  and generates a syslog message, such as: %C9000LC0640:8 %IFAGT-2-TRANSCEIVER_UNSUPPORTED_ERROR: Transceiver in slot 8 port 4 unrecognized, putting interface in operational-down state.
  To verify the error-disabled status of an interface, enter any of the following show commands. The command outputs show examples of error-disabled 40GbE ports 8/0 and 8/4.
  DellEMC# show inventory media 8
  Slot Port Type Media Serial Number DellQualified
  ——————————————————————–
  8 0 UNKNOWN UNKNOWN USC1D6J No
  8 4 QSFP 40GBASE-LR4 UQ90C7B No
  8 8 QSFP 40GBASE-SR4 7503835V009Y Yes
  8 12 QSFP 40GBASE-CR4 10190002 No
  8 16 QSFP 40GBASE-SR4 FE2429470007 Yes
  8 20 Media not present or accessible
  ** Interface is down(error disabled) as transceiver is not DellQualified
  DellEMC# show interfaces fortyGigE 8/0
  fortyGigE 8/0 is up, line protocol is down(error-disabled[Transceiver Unsupported])
  …

Known Software Behavior

• On the C9010, OpenFlow supports only the scaled-l3-hosts hardware forwarding-table mode (UFT mode 3), providing a unified forwarding table (UFT) of:
  • L2 MAC entries: 160K
  • L3 host entries: 144K
  • L3 route entries: 16K
    OpenFlow does not support the scaled-l3-routes forwarding-table mode (UFT mode

4. on the C9010. To configure the
   maximum scalable size for the L2 MAC, L3 host, and L3 route tables, use the hardware forwarding-table mode command.

• On the C9010, Data Center Bridging (DCB) is supported per-line card. If the traffic handled by a DCB map is transmitted on ports on different line cards, you must manually configure the DCB map on the backplane ports of the C9010 line cards on which the ports reside (dcb-map linecard all backplane all command).
  If the DCB map you apply to the backplane ports of C9010 RPMs (linecard 10–11) configures two or more priority groups, you must increase the size of the PFC shared and total buffers (dcb pfc-shared-buffer-size and dcb pfc-total-buffer- size commands).

• The C1048P does not support more than one (redundant) port channel to the same network device on its front-end ports.

• The C9010 does not support the user datagram protocol (UDP) helper. The UDP helper allows you to forward IP/UDP broadcast traffic by creating a broadcast address and rewriting the destination IP address of packets with the new broadcast address.

• The C9010 supports the following Open Automation (OA) features: Bare Metal Provisioning (BMP), Open Management Infrastructure (OMI), Puppet, Representational State Transfer (REST) application programming interface (API), Smart Scripting, and Virtual Server Networking (VSN).

• PE loop detection — In the current code, when a loop is detected between PEX ports P1 and P2, the port numbers are compared numerically and the port which has the least ifIndex stays UP and the other port stays DOWN, and is moved to an error-disabled state. In most scenarios, bringing down the IfIndex with a large number is not correct. For example, MAC M1 is learnt on PE port P3 and there is a loop because PE port P1 and P2 are connected back-to-back. In this case, if P3 has
  a greater ifIndex than P1/P2, the current code will bring down P3. So, irrespective of the ifIndex value, it is appropriate to keep the P3 UP where the mac was originally learnt first, and bring down the port P1/P2 on detecting a loop.

• Controlling Bridge ports cannot be part of VLAN that is non-spanned across VLT domain.

• Layer 3 physical ports (CB ports) and Layer 3 Port-channel (with members as CB ports) cannot be part of non default VRF. If they need to be placed in VRF then they can be tagged/untagged to spanned VLT VLAN and this VLAN can be placed under the VRF.

• FEFD is not a HA-aware protocol. Due to this, the protocol states and corresponding data are not available on the standby system. While inter-operating with a third-party switch, the FEFD might move into an unknown state on the new RPM after failover. Due to this, the line protocol might go down.

Changes to Default Behavior and CLI Syntax
Following default behavior and CLI syntax changes occurred during the Dell Networking OS release 9.14(2.14):
None.

Restrictions

• 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:
4. SmartScripts
5. Puppet
6. Open management infrastructure (OMI)
7. 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 9.14.2.14 to 9.11.0.0 or any older versions, 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.

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.

Installation Instructions

To install and perform the initial software configuration of the C9010 network director, C1048P, N20xx, and N30xx port extenders, see the Dell Networking C9010 Getting Started Guide, Dell Networking C1048P Getting Started Guide, Dell Networking N20xx and N30xx Getting Started Guide, and Dell Networking N20xx and N30xx Installation Guide. For complete information about how to configure and monitor the C9010 network director, C1048P, N20xx, and N30xx port extenders, see the Dell Networking C9000 Series Configuration Guide.

Update Instructions
The following upgrades are available for the Dell Networking operating system (OS) on a C9010 switch. If you upgrade more than one type of software image on the C9010, do so in the following order:

1. Upgrade the OS image on C9010 RPMs, line cards, and attached port extenders (PEs).
2. Upgrade the boot flash and boot selector images on C9010 RPMs and line cards, and the boot flash image on attached PEs.
3. Upgrade the FPGA and CPLD images on C9010 RPMs and line cards.
4. Upgrade the CPLD image on attached PEs.
5. Upgrade the PoE controller on attached PEs.
   NOTE: Effective from Dell Networking OS 9.11(0.0P1), you can convert N20xx or N30xx series switches to port extenders for the C9010 network director. For more details about converting the N20xx and N30xx series switches to port extenders, see the Dell Networking OS Conversion Guide for the N20xx/N30xx Series.

Prerequisites
Before you update C9010 software:

• You must be able to access the switch through an attached console, Telnet, or SSH.
• You must have administrator privilege.

Upgrading the Operating Software Image
Upgrade the OS image on C9010 RPMs, line cards, and attached port extenders by following the procedure in this section.

• NOTE: The configurations shown here are examples only and are not intended to duplicate any real system or network.
• NOTE: If you installed the Open Automation (OA) package on the C9010, Dell Networking strongly recommends uninstalling the OA package before you upgrade the Dell Networking OS image. Then reinstall a compatible OA package. In this way, the system installs enhancements and uninstalls incompatible OA packages after the Dell Networking OS upgrade.
• NOTE: Dell Networking strongly recommends using the Management Interface to upgrade the new image in both BMP mode and the Upgrade System CLI. Using front-end ports takes more time (approximately 25 minutes) to download and install new image due to the large file size.
• NOTE: If you are using bare metal provisioning (BMP), see the Bare Metal Provisioning chapter in the Open Automation Guide.

1. Save the running configuration on the switch.
   EXEC Privilege mode
   write memory

2. Back up your startup configuration to a secure location (for example, an FTP server as shown here). EXEC Privilege mode

5. scp://user-id:password@host-ip/file-path

6. tftp://host-ip/file-path

7. Flash://directory-path/filename

8. usbflash://directory-path/filename
   NOTE: Dell Networking recommends using FTP to copy the new image with the upgrade system command due to the large file size.

Upgrading the Boot Flash and Boot Selector Images
If your C9010 system is running Dell Networking OS version 9.14(2.14), upgrade RPMs and line cards to boot flash (GRUB) version 3.3.1.21. and boot selector (BIOS) version 3.3.0.4. Upgrade PEs to boot flash version 3.3.1.9. (The boot selector is not supported on a PE.)

• CAUTION: If you are configuring the BIOS for a VT100+ terminal emulation package with a 80×24 window size and serial port settings of 9600,n,8,1, do not use flow control.
• CAUTION: Upgrading the BIOS may take some time to complete. There are no progress indicators while the upgrade is proceeding. Do not reboot or attempt other operations until the upgrade is complete.
• NOTE: If the boot flash version of a C9010 is running with a version equal to, or higher than, the upgraded boot code version, DO NOT proceed with the upgrade process. If you have questions regarding the boot code version for your system, contact Dell Networking technical support.

Ensure that you have upgraded to the latest Dell Networking OS version. If you have not already done so, complete the Upgrade the Operating Software Image procedure.
You cannot upgrade the boot flash and boot selector images together at the same time; upgrade the images separately by entering different upgrade commands (upgrade bootflash-image and upgrade bootselector-image). There is no required order in which the upgrades must be done; you can either upgrade the boot flash before the boot selector image or the
boot selector before the boot flash image.

To upgrade the boot flash or boot selector images to the image versions packed with the loaded Dell Networking OS image, use the booted option in an upgrade command. To display the image versions, enter the show revision command in EXEC PRIVILEGE mode.

Upgrading the CPLD and FPGA Images
To upgrade CPLD and FPGA images on the C9010, you must upgrade the CPLD, FPGA, microcontroller (MSS) FPGA, and MSS inapplication programming (IAP) images on each component. There are separate commands for each operation.
If the C9010 is running Dell Networking OS 9.14(1.2) or earlier, upgrade to:

• RPM MSS FPGA version 3.12
• RPM IAP version 3.2
• RPM CPLD version 3.7
• RPM FPGA version 2.0
• Line-card MSS FPGA version 3.10
• Line-card IAP version 3.2
• Line-card CPLD version 3.2
• PE CPLD version 25
• PE PoE Controller version 2.65
  If your system is loaded with a CPLD and an FPGA version that are the same or higher than these versions, do not upgrade the CPLD or FPGA.

Your system must have the Dell Networking OS 9.11(0.0P1) loaded before you can upgrade the CPLD and FPGA images. To
view the CPLD and FPGA versions packed with Dell Networking OS 9.11(0.0P1), enter the show revision command in EXEC PRIVILEGE mode.
Overview
