60 Switch Feature Overview
If the switch detects an IP address conflict on the management interface, it
generates a trap and sends a log message.
For information about configuring basic network information, see "Setting
the IP Address and Other Basic Network Information " on page 165.
IPv6 Management Features
Dell Networking N-Series switches provide IPv6 support for many standard
management features including HTTP, HTTPS/SSL, Telnet, SSH, syslog,
SNTP, TFTP, and traceroute on both the in-band and out-of-band
management ports.
Dual Software Images
Dell Networking N-Series switches can store up to two software images. The
dual image feature enables upgrading the switch without deleting the older
software image. One image is designated as the active image and the other
image as the backup image.
For information about managing the switch image, see "Images and File
Management " on page 469.
File Management
Files, such as configuration files and system images, can be uploaded and
downloaded using HTTP (web only), TFTP, Secure FTP (SFTP), or Secure
Copy (SCP). Configuration file uploads from the switch to a server are a good
way to back up the switch configuration. A configuration file can also be
downloaded from a server to the switch to restore the switch to the
configuration in the downloaded file.
Files can be copied to and from a USB Flash drive that is plugged into the
USB port on the front panel of the switch. Or, the switch can be automatically
upgraded by booting it with a newer firmware image on a USB drive plugged
in to the switch. Dell Networking N-Series switches support file copy
protocols to both IPv4 and IPv6 servers.
For information about uploading, downloading, and copying files, see "Images
and File Management " on page 469.
