New Dell Networking OS Version 9.14(2.11) Features

The following features are integrated into the Dell EMC Networking 9.14.2 branch through this release:
None.
Restrictions

• Prerequisite steps to upgrade the Dell EMC 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 EMC 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 EMC 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 EMC 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 EMC Networking OS and OA package, refer the espective Dell EMC System Release Notes.

• If you downgrade the Dell EMC Networking OS version from 9.14.2.11 to 9.11.0.0 or any older versions, the system displays the following error message even though there is no functional impact:
  C D B b o o t e r r o r : C . c d b f i l e f o r m a t

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:

• 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 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 EMC Networking OS from version 9.7(0.0):
  ○ PIM ECMP
  ○ Static 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)

• 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 S6010–ON switch with Dell EMC Networking OS version 9.14(2.11):
None.

Documentation Corrections

This section describes the errors identified in the current release of the Dell Networking OS.

• The r o u t e r b g p 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.

Bare Metal Provisioning
NOTE: If you are using Bare Metal Provisioning (BMP), see the Bare Metal Provisioning topic in the Dell EMC Networking OS Configuration Guide or the Open Automation Guide.
Manual Upgrade Procedure
Follow these steps carefully to upgrade your S6010-ON systems:

1. Dell EMC Networking recommends that you back up your startup configuration and any important files and directories to an external media prior to upgrading the system.

2. Upgrade the Dell EMC Networking OS in flash partition A: or B:
   EXEC Privilege Mode
   u p g r a d e s y s t e m [ f l a s h : | f t p : s t a c k – u n i t < 1 – 6

   | t f t p : | s c p : | u s b f l a s h : ] [ A : | B : ]

3. Verify that the Dell EMC Networking OS has been upgraded correctly in the upgraded flash partition.
   EXEC Privilege Mode
   s h o w b o o t s y s t e m s t a c k – u n i t [ 1 – 6 ] | a l l ]

4. Upgrade the S6010-ON Boot Flash and Boot Selector images.
   EXEC Privilege Mode
   u p g r a d e b o o t [ a l l | b o o t f l a s h – i m a g e | b o o t s e l e c t o r – i m a g e ] s t a c k – u n i t [ 1 – 6 | a l l ] [ b o o t e d | f l a s h : | f t p : | s c p : | t f t p : | u s b f l a s h : ] The Boot Flash and Boot Selector images can be upgraded together by selecting all in the command. If you want to upgrade Boot Flash image or Boot Selector image separately, use the b o o t f l a s h – i m a g e or the b o o t s e l e c t o r – i m a g e options
   separately. Use the b o o t e d option to upgrade the Boot flash and Boot Selector images to the image versions packed with the loaded Dell EMC Networking OS image. You can find the Boot Flash and Boot Selector image versions packed with the loaded Dell EMC Networking OS using the s h o w o s – v e r s i o n command in the EXEC PRIVILEGE mode. D e l l # u p g r a d e b o o t a l l s t a c k – u n i t 1 b o o t e d

5. Change the Primary Boot Parameter of the S6010-ON to the upgraded partition A: or B: CONFIGURATION Mode
   b o o t s y s t e m s t a c k – u n i t 1 p r i m a r y s y s t e m : [ A : | B : | t f t p : | f t p : ]

6. Save the configuration so that the configuration will be retained after a reload using w r i t e m e m o r y command.
   EXEC Privilege Mode
   w r i t e m e m o r y

7. Reload the unit.
   EXEC Privilege Mode
   r e l o a d

8. Verify that the ONIE has been upgraded to the Dell EMC Networking OS version 9.14(2.11).
   EXEC Privilege Mode
   s h o w v e r s i o n

9. Verify that the ONIE has been upgraded to the latest Boot Flash and Boot Selector images.
   EXEC Privilege Mode
   s h o w s y s t e m s t a c k – u n i t [ 1 – 6 ]

Upgrading the CPLD

The S6010-ON system with Dell EMC Networking OS Version 9.14(2.11) requires System CPLD revision 12, Master CPLD revision 12, and Slave CPLD revision 5.
Verify that a CPLD upgrade is required
Use the following command to identify the CPLD version:

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

Upgrading the CPLD Image
NOTE: The u p g r a d e f p g a – i m a g e s t a c k – u n i t 1 b o o t e d 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 3.26.0.0-4. You can verify this version using show system stack-unit 1 command.
To upgrade the CPLD image on S6010-ON, follow these steps.

1. Upgrade the CPLD image.
   EXEC Privilege Mode
   u p g r a d e f p g a – i m a g e s t a c k – u n i t b o o t e d

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 p o w e r – c y c l e s t a c k – u n i t < 1 – 6 > command as follows:

3. The CPLD version can be verified using s h o w r e v i s i o n command output:
   EXEC Privilege Mode
   s h o w r e v i s i o n
