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

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:
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

The following behavior and CLI changes are applicable to the S3048–ON switch with Dell Networking OS version 9.14(2.14): 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

Deferred Issues

Issues that appear in this section were reported in Dell Networking OS version 9.14(2.0) as open, but have since been deferred. Deferred caveats are those that are found to be invalid, not reproducible, or not cheduled for resolution. Deferred issues are reported using the following definitions.

Category Description
PR# Problem Report number that identifies the issue.
Severity S1 — Crash: A software crash occurs in the kernel or a running process that requires a restart of AFM, the router, switch, or process.
S2 — Critical: An issue that renders the system or a major feature unusable, which can have a pervasive impact on the system or network, and for which there is no work-around acceptable to the customer.
S3 — Major: An issue that affects the functionality of a major feature or negatively effects the network for which there exists a work-around that is acceptable to the customer.
S4 — Minor: A cosmetic issue or an issue in a minor feature with little or no network impact for which there might be a work-around.
Synopsis Synopsis is the title or short description of the issue.
Release Notes Release Notes description contains more detailed information about the issue.
Work around Work around describes a mechanism for circumventing, avoiding, or recovering from the issue. It might not be a permanent solution. Issues listed in the “Closed Caveats” section should not be present, and the work-around is unnecessary, as the version of code for which this release note is documented has resolved the caveat.

Upgrading ONIE on the S3048-ON

To upgrade the ONIE package you have installed, use one of the following two processes: zero touch (dynamic) update or manual update.

Zero touch (dynamic): Copy the update ONIE installer and the DIAG installer for your system to the TFTP/ HTTP server.Configure the DHCP options using the ONIE specifications shown at the following link: http://opencomputeproject.github.io/onie/docs/design-spec/updater.html
S3048-ON image>>>> onie-updater-x86_64-s3000_c2338-r0
Manual: Copy the image onto the TFTP/HTTP servers and boot ONIE. Update the ONIE using the onie-self-update command, then download and run an ONIE updater image. The supported URL types are: HTTP, FTP, TFTP, and FILE. S3048-ON image>>>> onie-updater-x86_64-s3000_c2338-r0

Installing Dell Networking OS on the S3048-ON using ONIE

NOTE: The Dell Networking OS installer package, ONIE-FTOS-SG- ON-9.14.2.14.bin, is required for installing Dell Networking OS on S3048-ON that has only ONIE.
To install the Dell Networking OS version 9.14(2.14) on to the new S3048-ON device, perform the following steps:

Boot the system to the ONIE prompt.The following ONIE prompt appears:
ONIE:/ #
Stop the ONIE discovery process using the following command:
ONIE:/ # onie-discovery-stop
The following message appears:
Stopping: discover… done.
ONIE:/ #
Configure an interface and assign an IP address to that interface using the following command:
ONIE:/ # ifconfig eth0 ip-address/prefix up
Enter the following command to begin the installation process:
ONIE:/ # onie-nos-install tftp://10.16.127.35/ONIE-FTOS-SG-ON-9.14.2.14.bin

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 S3048-ON systems:

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.
NOTE: If you are upgrading from Dell Networking OS version 9.10.0.1P5 or earlier, you cannot directly upgrade to version 9.10.0.1P13 or above. Upgrade to version 9.10.0.1P8 first and then upgrade to the required version.
