New Dell Networking OS Version 9.10(0.1) Features
The following features have been added to the S4048-ON with Dell Networking OS version 9.10(0.1):
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Internal BGP next hop self | Dell Networking OS enhances the capability of route reflector to set its own IP address as the next hop for both iBGP and eBGP-learned routes. |
Restrictions
You can use non-Dell qualified cables, adapters, and optics in a S4048-ON switch, but Dell Networking does not guarantee their performance as the S4048-ON does not support non-Dell qualified 40G transceivers. If you insert a non-Dell qualified 40G transceiver into a S4048-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:
Dell# show inventory media Slot Port Type Media Serial Number F10Qualified 1 49 UNKNOWN UNKNOWN No** 1 50 QSFP 40GBASE-LR4 USC1D6J 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
Dell# show interfaces fortyGigE 1/49 fortyGigE 1/49 is up, line protocol is down(error-disabled[Transceiver Unsupported])
When configuring CAM ACL using the cam-acl 12acl 2 ipv4acl 2 ipv6acl 0 ipv4qos 1 12qos 2 12pt 0 ipmacacl 0 vman-qos 0 ecfmacl 2 fcoeacl 4 iscsioptacl 0 command and reloading, the system fails due to a limitation in the BCM SDK 6.3.4.
Dell Networking OS does not support encapsulated remote switched port analyzer (ERSPAN) and remote switched port analyzer (RSPAN) in a VLT setup.
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.
Changes to Default Behavior and CLI Syntax
Autoneg is enabled by default for the 1G interfaces.
Autoneg is disabled by default for the 40G cr4 interface.
The S4048-ON system supports Dell-qualified transceivers and only some of the non Dell-qualified transceivers. If the system displays an error message similar to the following, the transceiver is not Dell-qualified. The Dell Networking OS places the interface in error-disabled (operationally down) state.
Apr 29 05:09:16: %S4048-ON:1 %IFAGT-2-TRANSCEIVER UNSUPPORTED ERROR: Transceiver in slot 1 port 50 unrecognized, putting interface in operat ional-down state
The following command output displays that the interface is in error-disabled state:
Dell#show interfaces fortyGigE 1/50 fortyGigE 1/50 is up, line protocol is down(error-disabled[Transceiver Unsupported]) Hardware is DellEth, address is 34:17:eb:f2:25:c6 Current address is 34:17:eb:f2:25:c6 Non-qualified pluggable media present, QSFP type is 40GBASE-SR4 Wavelength is 850nm No power Interface index is 2103813 Internet address is not set Mode of IPv4 Address Assignment : NONE DHCP Client-ID : 3417ebf225c6 MTU 1554 bytes, IP MTU 1500 bytes LineSpeed 40000 Mbit <output truncated for brevity>
For information about which optics and transceivers are supported, contact your Dell representative.
Dell Networking OS enhances the show hardware drops command to display the number of dropped packets in the ingress buffer.
For SCP, FTP, and HTTP copy operations done through external servers, the password you specify can be a string of up to 32 characters in length.
Dell Networking OS enhances the show hardware stack-unit command to display the data plane or management plane input and output statistics of the designated component of the designated stack member.
Dell Networking OS enhances the show hardware buffer interface command to display the buffer statistics for a specific interface.
Dell Networking OS enhances the show hardware buffer-stats-snapshot command to display the buffer statistics tracking resource information for a specific interface.
Dell Networking OS enhances the show hardware stack-unit buffer-stats-snapshot command to view the buffer statistics tracking resource information depending on the type of buffer information. The buffer information comprises of device-level details, port-level counters, queue-based snapshots, or priority group-level snapshot in the egress and ingress direction of traffic.
Dell Networking OS enhances the show hardware counters interface command to display the counter information for a specific interface.
Dell Networking OS displays whether there is a change in privilege or role to the administrator's account since last login.
Documentation Corrections
This section describes the error identified in the current releases of the Dell Networking OS.
- The Dell Networking OS Command Line Reference Guide incorrectly mentions a note on multi-process OSPF. It will be corrected in the next release by including the following note:
- The Dell Networking OS versions 9.4(0.0) and 9.7(0.0) introduce support for VRF on OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 respectively. The multi-process OSPF feature supported on Dell Networking OS version 7.8.1.0 is modified. In earlier versions, multiple OSPF processes were created without VRF (prior to 9.4(0.0)). In the Dell Networking OS versions 9.4(0.0) and 9.7(0.0) (for OSPFv3), multiple OSPF processes can be created on a router, but with only one OSPF process per VRF. However, there can be one OSFPv2 and one OSPFv3 on the same VRF.
- The following note will be added to Open Shortest Path First (OSPFv2 and OSPFv3) topic of the Dell Networking OS Command Line Reference Guide:
- OSPFv2 is supported on IPv6 tunnels only and OSPFv3 is supported on IPv4 tunnels only.
- The following Usage Information will be added to router ospf command of the Dell Networking OS Command Line Reference Guide:
- You can create only one OSPFv2 process per VRF.
The Dell Command Line Reference Guide for the S4048-ON System and Dell Configuration Guide for the S4048-ON System mention that the system supports up to eight ACL VLAN groups. But the system supports up to 31 ACL VLAN groups.
Deferred Issues
Issues that appear in this section were reported in Dell Networking OS version 9.10(0.1) as open, but have since been deferred. Deferred caveats are those that are found to be invalid, not reproducible, or not scheduled for resolution.

| 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. | |||
| Synopsis | Synopsis is the title or short description of the issue. | ||

Upgrading ONIE on the S4048-ON
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 and the DIAG installer for your system to the TFTP/HTTP server. Configure the DHCP options using the ONIE specifications shown at the following link: http://opencomputeproject.github.io/onie/docs/design-spec/updater.html
- S4048-ON image >>>> onie-updater-x86_64-dell_s4000_c2338-r0
- 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. The supported URL types are: HTTP, FTP, TFTP, and FILE.
- S4048-ON image >>>> onie-updater-x86_64-dell_s4000_c2338-r0
- UPGRADING ONIE ON AN EXISTING S4048-ON SYSTEM.
The following example uses HTTP to upgrade ONIE.

Installing Dell Networking OS on the S4048-ON using ONIE
NOTE: The Dell Networking OS installer package, ONIE-FTOS-SK-9.10.0.1.bin, is required for installing Dell Networking OS on S4048-ON that has only ONIE.
To install the Dell Networking OS version 9.10(0.1) on to the new S4048-ON device, perform the following steps:
- Boot the system to the ONIE prompt. The following ONIE prompt appears:
ONIE:/ #
- Stop the ONIE discovery process using the following command:
ONIE:/ # onie-discovery-stop
The following message appears:Stopping: discover... done.
ONIE:/ #
- Configure an interface and assign an IP address to that interface using the following command:
ONIE:/ # ifconfig eth0 ip-address/prefix up
- Enter the following command to begin the installation process:
ONIE:/ # onie-nos-install tftp://10.16.127.35/ONIE-FTOS-SK-9.10.0.1.bin
NOTE: After the Dell Networking OS installation is complete, the system automatically reboots.
Following is the installation and boot log of Dell Networking OS:
