Upgrading a Port Extender

You can update the Dell Networking operating system (OS) on a port extender manually as needed or allow it

to be automatically updated by the controlling bridge.

An automatic OS upgrade is performed when a discovered standalone PE or PE stack is running an out-of-

date or incompatible software version compared to the OS image running on the controlling bridge. In this

case, no operator intervention is necessary. The management software automatically upgrades the PE or PE

stack with the OS software version running on the controlling bridge.

To manually upgrade the OS image on a standalone PE or PE stack, follow the procedure in this section.

You can also upgrade the OS image on a PE or PE stack as part of a global upgrade of all RPMs,

line cards, and PEs by using the upgrade all command. For more information, see the Dell Networking

C9010 and C1048P Release Notes.

The configurations shown here are examples only and are not intended to duplicate any real

system or network.

From the C9010 console, upgrade the Dell Networking OS on a standalone PE or a PE stack using the

OS version running on the controlling bridge.
