Service Manual

To validate the software image on the ash drive after the image has been transferred to the system, but before the image has been

installed, use the verify {md5 | sha256} [ ash://]img-le [hash-value] command in EXEC mode.

• md5: MD5 message-digest algorithm

• sha256: SHA256 Secure Hash Algorithm

• ash: (Optional) Species the ash drive. The default is to use the ash drive. You can just enter the image le name.

• hash-value: (Optional). Specify the relevant hash published on i-Support.

• img-le: Enter the name of the Dell Networking software image le to validate

Using HTTP for File Transfers

Stating with Release 9.3(0.1), you can use HTTP to copy les or conguration details to a remote server. Use the copy source-le-

url http://host[:port]/le-path command to transfer les to an external server.

Enter the following source-le-url keywords and information:

• To copy a le from the internal FLASH, enter ash:// followed by the lename.

• To copy the running conguration, enter the keyword running-cong.

• To copy the startup conguration, enter the keyword startup-cong.

• To copy a le on the external FLASH, enter usbash:// followed by the lename.

In the Dell Networking OS release 9.8(0.0), HTTP services are enhanced to support the VRF-aware functionality. If you want the

HTTP server to use a VRF table that is attached to an interface, congure that HTTP server to use a specic routing table. You can

use the ip http vrf command to inform the HTTP server to use a specic routing table. After you congure this setting, the

VRF table is used to look up the destination address.

NOTE: To enable HTTP to be VRF-aware, as a prerequisite you must rst dene the VRF.

You can specify either the management VRF or a nondefault VRF to congure the VRF awareness setting.

When you specify the management VRF, the copy operation that is used to transfer les to and from an HTTP server utilizes the

VRF table corresponding to the Management VRF to look up the destination. When you specify a nondefault VRF, the VRF table

corresponding to that nondefault VRF is used to look up the HTTP server.
