About this Guide

This guide describes the protocols and features the Dell Networking Operating System (OS) supports and

provides configuration instructions and examples for implementing them. For complete information about all

the CLI commands, see the Dell Command Line Reference Guide for your system.

The S3100 series consists of S3124P, S3148P, S3124F, S3124 platforms. These platforms are available with Dell

Networking OS version 9.8.(2.0) and later.
