Dell EMC Networking OS 9.14(2.9)

New Dell EMC Networking OS Version 9.14(2.9) 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 respective Dell EMC System Release Notes.

● If you downgrade the Dell EMC Networking OS version from 9.14.2.9 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 EMC 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

● From 9.14(2.4P1) onwards, a new nand chip ships on the S3100 series switch. This chip supports the new UBoot version

5.2.1.10.

Upgrade Instructions

The following upgrades are available for the Dell EMC Networking operating system (OS) on S3100 series switches:

1. Upgrade the Dell EMC Networking OS image on S3100 series switches.

2. Upgrade the UBoot from Dell EMC Networking OS.

3. Upgrade the CPLD image.

4. Upgrade the PoE controller.

Upgrading the Operating Software Image

Upgrade the OS image on S3100 series switches 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 S3100 series switch, Dell EMC Networking strongly

recommends uninstalling the OA package before you upgrade the Dell EMC Networking OS image. Then reinstall a

compatible OA package. In this way, the system installs enhancements and uninstalls incompatible OA packages after the

Dell EMC Networking OS upgrade.

NOTE: Dell EMC 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

copy startup-config destination

DellEMC# copy running-config ftp: Address or name of remote host []: 10.10.10.10 Destination file name [startup-config]: startup-config User name to login remote host: host Password to login remote host: xxxx ! 5179 bytes successfully copied DellEMC#

3. Upgrade the Dell EMC Networking OS on a S3100 series switch.

EXEC Privilege mode

upgrade system {flash: | ftp: | nfsmount: | scp: | stack-unit: | tftp:| usbflash:} fileurl [A: | B:]

Where {flash: | ftp: | scp: | tftp:| usbflash:} file-url specifies the file transfer method and location of the software image file used to upgrade the S3100 series, and is in one of the following formats:

● flash://directory-path/filename — Copy from flash file system.

● ftp://user-id:password@host-ip/file-path — Copy from remote (IPv4 or IPv6) file system.

● nfsmount://mount-point/filepath — Copy from NFS mount file system.

● scp://user-id:password@host-ip/file-path — Copy from remote (IPv4 or IPv6) file system.

● stack-unit: — Synchronize image to the specified stack unit.

● tftp://host-ip/file-path — Copy from remote (IPv4 or IPv6) file system.

● usbflash://directory-path/filename — Copy from USB flash file system.

NOTE:

Dell EMC Networking recommends using FTP to copy the new image with the upgrade system command due

to the large file size.

DellEMC#upgrade system ftp: a: Address or name of remote host []: 192.168.1.1 Source file name []: FTOS-S3100-9.14.2.9.bin User name to login remote host: ftpuser Password to login remote host:

4. In case of a stack setup, upgrade the Dell EMC Networking OS for the stacked units.

EXEC Privilege mode

upgrade system stack-unit [1–12 | all] [A: | B:]

If A: is specified in the command, the Dell EMC Networking OS version present in Management unit's A: partition will be pushed to the stack units. If B: is specified in the command, the Management unit's B: will be pushed to the stack units. Upgrade of stack units can be done on individual units by specifying the unit id [1–12] or on all units by using all in the command.

DellEMC#upgrade system stack-unit all A: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Image upgraded to all DellEMC#

5. Verify the Dell EMC Networking OS has been upgraded correctly in the upgraded flash partition

EXEC Privilege mode

show boot system stack-unit [1-12 | all]

The Dell EMC Networking OS versions present in A: and B: can be viewed for individual units by specifying the stack unit id [1–12] in the command or for all the stack units by specifying all in the command.

Upgrade the UBoot from Dell EMC Networking OS

To upgrade the UBoot from Dell EMC Networking OS, perform the following steps:

1. Upgrade the S3100 Series Boot Flash (UBoot) image.

EXEC Privilege mode

Dell EMC Networking OS version 9.14(2.9) requires S3100 Series Boot Flash (UBoot) image version 5.2.1.10. The booted option is used to upgrade the Boot Flash (UBoot) image to the image version packed with the loaded Dell EMC Networking OS image. The Boot Flash (UBoot) image version packed with the loaded Dell EMC Networking OS can be found using the show os-version command in EXEC Privilege mode.

To upgrade the Boot Flash image of all stack-units, the option all can be used.
