Introduction
This document provides specific procedures for downloading the firmware to the Dell™ Networking
N1108T-ON/N1124T-ON/N1148T-ON/N1108P-ON/N1124P-ON/N1148P-ON switches
IMPORTANT: Dell Networking N1100-ON Series switches support 6.4.1.3 and later
firmware (6.4.2.8)
It is recommended that this document be thoroughly reviewed prior to installing or upgrading of this product.
Global Support
For information regarding the latest available firmware, release note revisions, or additional assistance, please visit
support.dell.com.
NOTE: A TFTP server must be on the network and the switch software
must be accessible to the TFTP server before attempting to download
the switch software by TFTP.
NOTE: The following TFTP server may be used if you do not have one:

NOTE: Activate the image to use as the boot (active) image after the switch
resets. Images on the N1100-ON series switches are named active and backup.
4. Activate 6.4.2.8 firmware.
5. Reload the switch.

NOTE: By default, no network information is configured. The DHCP client is enabled on VLAN 1
by default on the N1100‐ON switches. DNS is enabled, but no DNS servers are configured. If you
assign an IP address to VLAN 1, you can connect to the switch management interface by using any of
the front‐panel switch ports. This is required to manage the N1100‐ON switches over an Ethernet
port.

NOTE: If using the serial port to update the firmware, the following output will be observed. If logged in
via telnet or SSH, rebooting the switch will close the connection. Rebooting may take several minutes to
complete and the switch may reboot itself more than once during the upgrade procedure.

6. After the switch has finished rebooting, log in and verify that the firmware has been updated to the 6.4.1.3
version using the show version command. A single switch will typically reboot in around two minutes. A
stack may take significantly longer to complete the upgrade process.

7. The switch or stack is now ready for normal operation. Verify the configuration and make any changes
needed prior to connecting the switch to the operational network.
8. On switch reload, verify the boot-code version is updated to the latest “U-Boot 2016.01-Broadcom
XLDK-3.8.1-svn1708 (Mar 17 2017 - 11:07:53 +0800) - ONIE 4.34.1.0-2 - N11XX V1.0.10)” from the

Stacking Notes
The “copy” command will take longer to complete with a stack of switches. This is due to the master
switch copying the software to the member switches. The master switch will display the line “Distributing
the code to the members of the stack!” for several minutes until the copy is done.
The “copy” command will copy the software to all the switches as “backup” image

1. Connect a serial cable to the serial console port on the switch (8-No Parity-1-115200-No Flow Control).
Use a supplied USB cable to access the serial console. The USB console port is located at the bottom right
corner of the front panel. Download and Install the terminal emulation software on your PC (for example.,
PuTTY) to access the serial console with the correct settings (default setting 115,200 baud, 8 data bits, no
parity bit, 1 stop bit, and no flow control).

2. When the boot menu appears, select 2 – Start Boot Menu within 10 seconds of the prompt appearing. If the
boot menu does not appear after power cycling the switch, check the serial port settings and the serial cable
connections. Make sure that RTS/CTS (HW flow control) and XON/XOFF (SW flow control) are disabled
on the terminal. It is preferred to use the serial cable supplied with the switch. If you do not have the

original serial cable, it may be necessary to use a NULL modem device to access the switch via the serial
cable. Check the serial cable setup with an operational switch to verify that it works properly.
3. Download 6.4.2.8 firmware to the switch using TFTP by selecting option 4 - Load new operational code
from the boot menu.
4. Verify that the firmware has been updated to the 6.4.2.8 version using the show version command.
