• FiberChannel ports are excluded from the ALL Devices group for the default
interface monitor. Monitors do not retrieve information from FiberChannel
ports, so including them would distort monitoring results. (23033)
• Stacking with 35xx series may have timeout issues when trying SNMP get to walk
thru all the ports and related details (monitoring). (19394)
• For devices running firmware older than 4.1.x.x, you must use a non-default
enable access method or save an enable password in the startup configuration
before upgrading to the newer versions to access privileged exec (enable) mode
via telnet or SSH after the upgrade. The 4.x.x.x firmware emulates industry
standard behavior for privileged exec (enable) mode authentication over SSH and
telnet. In 4.1.x.x, the enable authentication method requires a password and the
default list for telnet and SSH (enableNetList) contains only the enable method
with no password. If the configuration being upgraded does not have an
alternative enable authentication method defined (for example TACACS), setting
an enable password allows one to access privileged exec mode after the firmware
upgrade. (19387, 19512)
• When a device does not have the enable mode enabled, a benign error may
appear on login. You can safely ignore this error. (18492)
• Deploying a firmware image on an Access Point is not supported. (18637)
• In the Image Repository portlet, clicking on Download > Firmware for Dell
PowerConnect may download out of date firmware for Dell PowerConnect classic
devices. Workaround: OpenManage Network Manager has the latest firmware
pre-seeded for devices and you can download firmware for each device from the
Dell support site. (16561)
• Some Dell devices and firmware revisions may not support the collection of
Service Tag and Asset Tag by Dell OpenManage Network Manager. This includes
recent firmware revisions of PowerConnect B-Series, and W-series along with
older revisions of PowerConnect firmware. (16098)
• When ACLs are configured on Dell Networking FTOS S4810 devices, when
copying a restored configuration to the running configuration, an error may
appear during restoration. (18905)
• For Dell Networking FTOS devices, interfaces like management and loopback may
appear as both ports and interfaces. (18309)
• For Dell PowerConnect M8024-k and 8024/F user ports that are used for stacking
ports do not appear in the Network View. (16944, 16951)
• 8024/F fibre channel link discovery is not supported. (16943)
• Some devices do not respond to commands unless they are in the correct state.
For example, some Dell devices must not be in “Simple” mode to respond to
Adaptive CLIs. (17153)
• Some devices, including the Dell Networking FTOS C-Series and E-Series, will
allow then drop telnet connections during deployment or file restoration when
you select restart as part of the process. This can take from six to eight minutes,
though it can take as long as fifteen minutes for a fully populated chassis. During
that time, you can ping the device; however, Dell OpenManage Network Manager
cannot log in to the device until the reboot is complete. (18277)
• Due to the change made in Model name, the Dell Networking C- Series Devices
group filtering criteria no longer shows the correct managed devices in the group.
Therefore, before upgrading to OMNM v.6.0 Service Pack 3, you must either
