Supported Hardware
The following hardware is supported with this platform:
Six fixed QSFP+ ports supporting either one port of 40G or four ports of 10G in breakout mode
Two PSUs
Four fan modules
One MicroUSB serial console port
One universal serial bus (USB Type-A) port for additional file storage
Management Ethernet interface
RS-232 Serial interface
Dual core 1.7GHz Rangeley central processing unit (CPU) system
Temperature monitoring
Software-readable thermal monitor
Real time clock (RTC) support
Two hot pluggable redundant power supplies
Power management monitoring
Four removable fans
Standard 1U chassis
The following lists the individual Dell S4048T–ON system hardware components that are available to order:
Table 2. Hardware Components Available to Order
Fan with airflow from I/O side to PSU side (red — normal air flow direction)
Fan with airflow from PSU side to I/O side (blue — reversed air flow direction)
AC or DC power supply with airflow from I/O side to PSU side
AC or DC power supply with airflow from PSU side to I/O side
NOTE: Fan modules and power supplies are field replaceable units.
NOTE: All fans and PSUs must have the same airflow direction. If you mix the airflow direction, the switch detects the
discrepancy, issues an alarm, and may auto-shutdown to avoid heat damage to components. You must correct the mixed
airflow direction.

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:
FeatureDescription
OSPFv3 area range supportThe new area range CLI command allows filtering and
summarizing of OSPFv3 routing information, and advertises
the aggregated route. You can configure multiple area range
statements under the OSPFv3 process context.
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:
● In a VXLAN scenario, hybrid port is not supported.
3
● 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.
● You can use non-Dell qualified cables, adapters, and optics in a S4048T-ON switch, but Dell EMC Networking does
not guarantee their performance as the S4048T-ON does not support non-Dell qualified 40G transceivers. If you
insert a non-Dell qualified 40G transceiver into a S4048T-ON 40GbE port, the switch places the interface in an
error-disabled (operationally down) state and generates a syslog message, such as: %S4048LC0640:8 %IFAGT-2-
TRANSCEIVER_UNSUPPORTED_ERROR: Transceiver in slot 1 port 49 unrecognized, putting
interface in operational-down state.
To verify the error-disabled status of an interface, enter any of the following show commands.
DellEMC# show inventory media
Slot Port Type Media Serial Number F10Qualified
------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 49 UNKNOWN UNKNOWN USC1D6J No**
1 50 QSFP 40GBASE-LR4 UQ90C7B No**
1 51 QSFP 40GBASE-SR4 7503835V009Y Yes
1 52 QSFP 40GBASE-CR4 10190002 No
1 53 QSFP 40GBASE-SR4 FE2429470007 Yes
1 54 Media not present or accessible
** Interface is down(error disabled) as transceiver is not F10Qualified
DellEMC# show interfaces fortyGigE 1/49
fortyGigE 1/49 is up, line protocol is down(error-disabled[Transceiver Unsupported])
...
● 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 group join limit (ip igmp group join-limit)
● You can use the negotiation auto command to turn auto-negotiation on or off only on fiber interfaces operating at 1G
speed.
● If you use the interface range command to select multiple interfaces that are added to the management VRF, the
ipv6 address command does not display the autoconfig option. You can configure the autoconfig command on
individual interfaces.
● If you use the interface range command to select multiple interfaces that are added to the management VRF, the
ipv6 nd command displays the following options but they do not take effect if you use them:
● Do not configure the vxlan-instance command on the port, which is configured with the portmode hybrid
command. Do not configure the vxlan-instance enabled port as a member of VLAN, which does not have VXLAN-VNI
configuration.
● 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 S4048T–ON switch with Dell EMC Networking OS version
9.14(2.9):
None.
Documentation Corrections
This section describes the errors identified in the current release of the Dell EMC Networking OS.
None.
Deferred Issues
Issues that appear in this section were reported in Dell EMC 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 scheduled for resolution.
Deferred issues are reported using the following definitions.

Work around
Description
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.
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.

1. Upgrade the BIOS or Boot-selector - using the upgrade boot bootselector-image stack-unit 1 booted
command.
2. Upgrade the GRUB or Bootflash - using the upgrade boot bootflash-image stack-unit 1 booted command.
3. Upgrade the CPLD - using the upgrade fpga-image system cpld stack-unit 1 booted command.
Upgrade the BIOS or Boot Selector
To upgrade the BIOS or Boot Selector from Dell EMC Networking OS, perform the following steps:
Dell EMC Networking OS version 9.14(2.9) requires S4048T-ON Boot Selector image version 3.27.0.0-4 or higher. The

Upgrading the ONIE Package for the S4048T-ON System
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 for your system to the TFTP/HTTP server. Configure the DHCP
options using the ONIE specifications shown at the following link: https://github.com/opencomputeproject/onie/wiki/
Design-Spec-SW-Updating-ONIE.
● 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 (onie-updater-x86_64-s4048t_c2338-r0). The supported URL
types are: HTTP, FTP, TFTP, and FILE.
To upgrade ONIE, perform the following steps:
