NOTE: For information on non-Dell OS versions, refer the Release Notes for the Hardware Platform S4048­ON.

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 S4048-ON switch, but Dell Networking does not guarantee their performance as the S4048-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: %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.

 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 9.14.2.0 version or later of the OA packages :
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 9.14.2.0 or later version of the OA package 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, refer 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.  REST API does not support AAA authentication.  The following features are not available in the Dell Networking OS:
 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.  If you use a 1 G SFP, disable autonegotiation on both peer ends. If you do not disable autonegotiation, the link does not come up.  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.

3

 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  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.
 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.

Changes to Default Behavior and CLI Syntax
The following behavior and CLI changes are applicable to the S4048­ON switch with Dell Networking OS version 9.14(2.14): None

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.

Deferred Issues

Issues that appear in this section were reported in Dell 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.

Upgrading the sub-components
It is recommended to upgrade the sub-components in the following order and reload the switch where necessary, before proceeding with the next sub-component upgrade.
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 Networking OS, perform the following steps: 1. Upgrade the S4048-ON Boot Selector image.
EXEC Privilege Mode
Dell Networking OS version 9.14(2.14) requires S4048-ON Boot Selector image version 3.21.0.0-6 or higher. The booted option is used to upgrade the Boot Selector image to the image version packed with the loaded Dell Networking OS image. The Boot Selector image version packed with the loaded Dell Networking OS can be found using the show os-version command in EXEC Privilege mode.

NOTE: Do not power off the system while FPGA upgrade is in progress. For any queries, contact technical support.
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. 1. Zero touch (dynamic): Copy the updated 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: https://github.com/ opencomputeproject/onie/wiki/Design-Spec-SW-Image-Discovery.
S4048-ON image >>>> onie-updater-x86_64-dell_s4000_c2338-r0.3.21.1.0-5
2. 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.

Upgrading the S4048-ON Dell Networking OS Image using the Dell Networking OS CLI
NOTE: If you are upgrading from Dell Networking OS version 9.9(0.0P18) or earlier, you cannot directly upgrade to version 9.14(2.14) or above. Upgrade to version 9.10(0.0) or above first and then upgrade to the required version.
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
