Setup Guide
This loop will be broken based on the data trac or control PDUs received at the PE. In the event of data trac at the PE and continuous
station moves between the PE and LM interface, the PE interface will be brought down.
In case there is no data trac on the LAN, control PDUs received at the PE will be used to break the loop.
Upgrading a Port Extender
You can update the Dell Networking operating system (OS) on a port extender manually as needed or allow it to be automatically updated
by the controlling bridge.
Auto-Upgrade of the OS Image
An automatic OS upgrade is performed when a discovered standalone PE or PE stack is running an out-of-date or incompatible software
version compared to the OS image running on the controlling bridge. In this case, no operator intervention is necessary. The management
software automatically upgrades the PE or PE stack with the OS software version running on the controlling bridge.
Manually Upgrading the OS Image
To manually upgrade the OS image on a standalone PE or PE stack, follow the procedure in this section.
NOTE
: You can also upgrade the OS image on a PE or PE stack as part of a global upgrade of all RPMs, line cards, and PEs by
using the upgrade all command. For more information, see the
Dell Networking C9010, C1048P, and N20xx/N30xx Release
