View the Command History

The command-history trace feature captures all commands entered by all users of the system with a time stamp and writes these

messages to a dedicated trace log buer.

The system generates a trace message for each executed command. No password information is saved to the le.

To view the command-history trace, use the show command-history command.

Example of the show command-history Command

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.

Upgrading and Downgrading the Dell Networking OS

NOTE: To upgrade the Dell Networking OS, refer to the Release Notes for the version you want to load on the system.

Using Hashes to Validate Software Images

You can use the MD5 message-digest algorithm or SHA256 Secure Hash Algorithm 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. The validation calculates a hash

value of the downloaded image le on system’s ash drive, and, optionally, compares it to a Dell Networking published hash for that

le.

The MD5 or SHA256 hash provides a method of validating that you have downloaded the original software. Calculating the hash on

the local image le, and comparing the result to the hash published for that le on iSupport, provides a high level of condence that
