1. Download Dell Networking OS software image le from the iSupport page to the local (FTP or TFTP) server. The published

hash for that le is displayed next to the software image le on the iSupport page.

2. Go on to the Dell Networking system and copy the software image to the ash drive, using the copy command.

3. Run the verify {md5 | sha256} [ ash://]img-le [hash-value] command. For example, verify sha256 ash://FTOS-

SE-9.5.0.0.bin

4. Compare the generated hash value to the expected hash value published on the iSupport page.

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
