Deployment Guide

○ (OPTIONAL) To clear unknown source address (SA) drop counters when you configure the MAC learning limit on the
interface, enter the keywords learning-limit.
When you enter this command, confirm that you want Dell EMC Networking OS to clear the interface counters for that
interface.

Enhanced Validation of Interface Ranges
You can avoid specifying spaces between the range of interfaces, separated by commas, that you configure by using the
interface range command. For example, if you enter a list of interface ranges, such as interface range hu
1/1/1,fo 1/3/1, this configuration is considered valid. The comma-separated list is not required to be separated by spaces
in between the ranges. You can associate multicast MAC or hardware addresses to an interface range and VLANs by using the
mac-address-table static multicast-mac-address vlan vlan-id output-range interface command.
Compressing Configuration Files
You can optimize and reduce the sizes of the configuration files.
You can compress the running configuration by grouping all the VLANs and the physical interfaces with the same property.
Support to store the operating configuration to the startup config in the compressed mode and to perform an image downgrade
without any configuration loss are provided.
You can create groups of VLANs using the interface group command. This command will create nonexistent VLANs
specified in a range. On successful command execution, the CLI switches to the interface group context. The configuration
commands inside the group context will be the similar to that of the existing range command.
Two existing exec mode CLIs are enhanced to display and store the running configuration in the compressed mode.
show running-config compressed and write memory compressed
The compressed configuration will group all the similar looking configuration thereby reducing the size of the configuration. For
this release, the compression will be done only for interface related configuration (VLAN & physical interfaces)
The following table describes how the standard and the compressed configuration differ:
