About This Document
This guide describes how to configure, monitor, and maintain Dell
Networking N2000/N3000/N4000 switches by using web-based Dell
OpenManage Switch Administrator utility or the command-line interface
(CLI).
NOTE:
Switch administrators are strongly advised to maintain Dell Networking
switches on the latest version of the Dell Networking Operating System (DNOS).
Dell Networking continually improves the features and functions of DNOS based
on feedback from you, the customer. For critical infrastructure, prestaging of the
new release into a non-critical portion of the network is recommended to verify
network configuration and operation with any new version of DNOS switch
firmware.
