New Dell Networking OS Version 9.14(2.16) 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 S6000-ON switch, but Dell Networking does not guarantee their performance as the S6000-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: %S6000LC0640:8 %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 9.14.2.16 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:
Dell#write memory Dell#delete flash://confd_cdb.tar.gz.version Dell#delete flash://confd_cdb.tar.gz Dell#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.
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 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)
You can use the negotiation auto command to turn auto-negotiation on or off only on fiber interfaces operating at 1G speed.
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-ra
3

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.

Changes to Default Behavior and CLI Syntax
If you are upgrading from an earlier OS9 version to 9.14.2.x, ensure you first upgrade to version 9.13.0.0 before upgrading to the required version of 9.14.2.x to prevent any issues during the upgrade procedure.

Upgrading the CPLD
The S6000-ON system with Dell Networking OS Version 9.14(2.16) requires System CPLD revision 10, Master CPLD revision 12, and Slave CPLD revision 10.

Verify that a CPLD upgrade is required

NOTE: If your CPLD revisions are higher than the ones shown here, DO NOT make any changes. If you have questions regarding the CPLD revision, contact technical support.
Use the following command to identify the CPLD version:

Dell#show revision
— Stack unit 0 -S6000 SYSTEM CPLD
S6000 MASTER CPLD
S6000 SLAVE CPLD

: 10 : 12 : 10

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.
