● If you downgrade the Dell Networking OS version from 9.14.2.9 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

● 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 from version 9.7(0.0):

○ Static IGMP join (ip igmp static-group)

○ IGMP querier timeout configuration (ip igmp querier-timeout)

○ IGMP group join limit (ip igmp group join-limit)

● Half-Duplex mode is not supported.

● When FRRP is enabled in a VLT domain, no flavor of Spanning tree should concurrently be enabled on the nodes of that
