About this Guide

This guide describes the protocols and features supported on Dell Networking switches and routers by the Dell Networking

operating system (OS) and provides configuration instructions and examples for implementing them.

The S5000 switch is available with Dell Networking OS version 9.1(1.0) and later version. It also supports stacking.

Though this guide contains information on protocols, it is not intended to be a complete reference. This guide is a reference

for configuring protocols on Dell Networking systems. For complete information about protocols, refer to other documentation

including IETF Requests for Comment (RFCs). The instructions in this guide cite relevant RFCs, and the Standards Compliance

chapter contains a complete list of the supported RFCs and Management Information Base files (MIBs).
