SupportAssist Performance transfer Provides support to collect and transfer
performance data to the support-assist server at
five-minute intervals.
CLI basics show system command The show system command displays the
following additional information:
● Firmware details of the switch.
● Input power, average input power, and
average power start time per power supply
unit (PSU) on the N3248TE-ON switch.
Policy-based routing (PBR) CLIs to disable PBR in virtual Support for the following commands to disable
link trunking (VLT) domain or reenable IPv4 or IPv6 PBR, and to display the
configuration:
● ip pbr disable
● ipv6 pbr disable
● show vlt domain-id pbr

Known Software Behavior - OS10

NOTE: The software behaviors that are mentioned here are applicable to OS10.5.3.

Flow control configuration

● If a flow control change is performed on an autonegotiation enabled port, the port flaps once for the change to take effect.
● If a DAC (25G/40G/50G/100G/200G/400G) is connected to a switch, autonegotiation is enabled by default.

OS10 upgrades
● When upgrading from 10.5.0 to 10.5.2 or later, the upgrade goes through the ONIE install process and displays an ONIE
update log. This does not indicate an upgrade failure. Do not interrupt the upgrade process as it proceeds automatically.
