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

You can use non-Dell qualified cables, adapters, and optics in a S6100-ON switch, but Dell Networking does not guarantee their performance as the S6100-ON does not support non-Dell qualified transceivers of 25G and above. If you insert a non-Dell qualified transceiver of 25G and above into a SFP28, QSFP+, or QSFP28 port, the switch places the interface in an error-disabled (operationally down) state and generates a syslog message, such as: %S6100LC0640:8 %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.

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
In a VXLAN scenario, hybrid port is not supported.
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.
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.
File system partition:

The ONIE installer, of OS versions 9.10(0.1P9) and later, changes the file system partition scheme to facilitate the installation of certain third-party networking operating systems.
If you have installed Dell Networking OS using the ONIE install option, you cannot downgrade from Dell Networking OS 9.14(2.14) to versions earlier than 9.10(0.1P9), using the upgrade system command, due to file system partition compatibility issues.
NOTE: The above restriction is not applicable if you have upgraded Dell Networking OS using the upgrade system command, instead of theONIE install option. To downgrade Dell Networking OS version 9.14(2.14) to a version earlier than 9.10(0.1P9), follow these steps: 1. From the ONIE menu, use the ONIE uninstall option to uninstall Dell Networking OS 9.14(2.14). 2. Use the ONIE install option to install the older version of Dell Networking OS.
REST API does not support AAA authentication.
The systems shipped with OS 9.11(1.0) and above might contain one of the following chipsets: BCM56960_B1 chipset with part number F6N2R or 6N1J1. BCM56960_B0 chipset with part number KPX54 or H68CJ. You can check the part number using the show inventory command.
In a system using BCM56960_B1 chipset, you cannot downgrade from Dell Networking OS 9.14(2.14) to OS versions earlier than 9.10(0.2), due to NPU compatibility issues. NOTE: The above restriction is not applicable for systems using BCM56960_B0 chipset.
You cannot use the established keyword in an ACL rule, along with the other control flags.
While using the established keyword in an ACL rule, all the other TCP control flags are masked, to avoid redundant TCP control flags configuration in a single rule. When you use any TCP control flag in an ACL rule, established is masked and other control flags are available.
DIAG version can also be 3.25.4.1
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.
The following features are not available in Dell Networking OS: Protocol-independent multicast (PIM) equal cost multi path (ECMP) Static Internet group management protocol (IGMP) join (ip igmp static-group) IGMP querier timeout configuration (ip igmp querier-timeout) IGMP group join limit (ip igmp group join-limit)
When 1024 or more VNI profiles are configured, the system takes more time to load. Dell recommends to restrict the VNI profiles to be less than 1000.
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:
dns-server hop-limit managed-config-flag max-ra-interval mtu other-config-flag prefix ra-guard ra-lifetime reachable-time retrans-timer suppress-none
4

Changes to the Default Behavior and CLI Syntax
The following behavior and CLI changes are applicable to the S6100-ON switch with Dell Networking OS version 9.14(2.14): None.

Documentation Corrections
This section describes the errors that are 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.

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
The ONIE installer, of OS versions 9.10(0.1P9) and later, changes the file system partition scheme to facilitate the installation of certain third-party networking operating systems.
If you have installed Dell Networking OS using the ONIE install option, you cannot downgrade from Dell Networking OS 9.14(2.14) to versions earlier than 9.10(0.1P9), using the upgrade system command, due to file system partition compatibility issues. If you try to downgrade, the system displays the following error message:
DellEMC#upgrade system tftp: a: Address or name of remote host []: 10.16.127.44 Source file name []: FTOS-S6100-ON-9.10.0.1P8.bin !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! % Error: Detected System Image is incompatible with flash partition scheme.

% Error: Perform ONIE uninstall followed by onie-nos-install to upgrade to this version. % Error: Upgrade system image failed. DellEMC#Feb 21 03:39:57: %STKUNIT1-M:CP %DOWNLOAD-6-UPGRADE: Upgrade failed
To downgrade Dell Networking OS version 9.14(2.14) to versions earlier than 9.10(0.1P9), follow these steps: 1. From the ONIE menu, use the ONIE uninstall option to uninstall Dell Networking OS 9.14(2.14). 2. Use the ONIE install option to install the older version of Dell Networking OS.
You can upgrade or downgrade to any version, if you have upgraded Dell Networking OS using the upgrade system command, instead of the ONIE install option.
The systems shipped with OS 9.14(2.14) and above might contain one of the following chipsets: BCM56960_B1 chipset with part number F6N2R or 6N1J1. BCM56960_B0 chipset with part number KPX54 or H68CJ. You can check the part number using the show inventory command
In a system using BCM56960_B1 chipset, you cannot downgrade from Dell Networking OS 9.14(2.14) to OS versions earlier than 9.10(0.2), due to NPU compatibility issues.
In a system using BCM56960_B1 chipset, if you try to downgrade from OS 9.14(2.14) to OS versions earlier than 9.10(0.2) using BMP or the upgrade command, the system displays the following error message:
DellEMC#upgrade system tftp: a: Address or name of remote host []: 10.16.127.44 Source file name []: FTOS-S6100-ON-9.10.0.1.bin 00:12:47 : Discarded 1 pkts. Expected block num : 56. Received block num: 55
% Error: Detected System Image is incompatible with NPU. % Error: Upgrading Release File Corrupted. % Error: Upgrade system image failed.
You can upgrade or downgrade the OS to any version in systems using BCM56960_B0 chipset.
Follow these steps carefully to upgrade your S6100-ON systems: 1. Cancel BMP and disable BMP from the next reload:
DellEMC# stop bmp DellEMC#conf DellEMC(conf)# reload-type DellEMC(conf-reload-type)# boot-type normal-reload DellEMC(conf-reload-type)# end
2. 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.
