SupportAssist: Secure Connect Gateway Using this feature, SupportAssist can connect to the SupportAssist server through a Secure Connect Gateway.
NOTE: SCG 5.1 or later is required to support this feature.
CLI enhancement: show system 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 N3248TE-ON platform.
New CLIs to disable PBR in VLT Domain Support for the following commands to disable or reenable IPv4 or IPv6 policy-based routing (PBR), and to display the configuration:
  • ip pbr disable
  • ipv6 pbr disable
  • show vlt domain-id pbr
DHCP relay custom source IP This feature enables DHCP relay agents to forward a DHCP client packet with the source IP address set to the IP address of the outgoing interface of the DHCP server.
Table 2. New in 10.5.3.1Releases and document revisions.
Revision Date Feature Description
A02 2021-12-10 Support for PowerEdge MX Ethernet I/O modules For latest information on the features and functionality of the PowerEdge MX networking switches, see Dell PowerEdge MX Networking Deployment Guide.
Table 3. New in 10.5.3.0Releases and document revisions.
Revision Date Feature Description
A01 2021-12-07 PowerSwitch S5448F-ON Added support for PowerSwitch S5448F-ON platform.
A00 2021-10-12 ARP suppression This feature provides support to configure ARP-suppression on the switch.
Network load balancing Network load balancing (NLB) is a feature in Microsoft Windows servers using which you can manage two or more servers as a single virtual cluster.
Support for north-bound interfaces Using this feature, you can enable or disable Layer 2 host-wide mode or narrow mode on a SmartFabric OS10 switch.
Scheduled reload This feature provides support to schedule reload of the switch. You can schedule the reload of the switch after a specific amount of time or at a particular date and time.
Port security on VLT This feature provides port-security support on VLT topologies.
LACP individual This feature allows the individual ports to be available for normal traffic flow even though they remain as inactive members of the parent port channel.
BGP unnumbered The BGP unnumbered feature supports route exchange for advertising IPv4 NLRI with IPv6 next-hop.
Multicast route optimization This feature supports 8000 audio streams and 600 video streams that are identified by the multicast group addresses in SmartFabric OS10 network switches.
HTTPS support for HTTP services OS10 switches support HTTP protocol for different services such as file copy, image upgrade, and so on. This feature provides a secure HTTP (HTTPS) option for all those services.
BFD tracking support in VRRP groups VRRP supports the tracking of BFD session objects in addition to tracking of interface state objects.
PKI certificate validation The PKI certificate validation feature enables you to perform validation of the PKI certificate and host certificates.
Support for OSPFv3 route summarization This feature enables administrators to summarize OSPFv3 routes at Autonomous System Boundary Router (ASBR) level - summary-address and at Area Boundary Router (ABR) level - area range.
EVPN route selection based on AS path length This feature enables the routes learnt or configured on each border leaf switch on a site to be advertised through BGP EVPN to other border leaf switches and also to other VTEP leaf switches in two sites in a VXLAN BGP EVPN configuration; where, these two sites, each containing its own border leaf switch, are interconnected.
BFD in VLT Domain Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) detects communication failures on an interface that is a part of a VLT port channel.
Wider ID range support for port channels The valid range for the port-channel parameter is 1–2000 in Full Switch mode. The port-channel ID 1000 is reserved for VLT interconnect (VLTi). You can create a maximum of 128 port-channels.
Routing on the host with BGP Routing on the host with BGP allows host to advertise single host IPv4 addresses (/32 IP address) directly into the routing domain. If a server or host is required to be relocated, its IP address moves along with it and the route to that IP address is maintained at its new physical location.
DNS Search List Domain Name System Search List (DNSSL) is an IPv6 router advertisement (RA) option that allows IPv6 devices to advertise DNS configuration in networks where hosts are autoconfigured through IPv6 Stateless Address Auto-configuration (SLAAC).
Recursive DNS server addresses Recursive DNS server (RDNSS) contains the address of recursive DNS servers that help in DNS name resolution in IPv6 hosts. The devices advertise the configured recursive server addresses through IPv6 router advertisement (RA) messages.
Support for G.8275.2 telecom profile OS10 supports the G.8275.2 PTP profile.
SyncE and hybrid clocking Support for SyncE and hybrid clocking on PowerSwitch Z9264F-ON.
CLI to reset access VLAN membership The no switchport access vlan command resets access VLAN membership on a range of interfaces or an individual interface.
Symmetric hashing Symmetric hashing forces the bi-directional traffic flows to take the same physical ports even when the traffic flows enter the switch through different ingress ports.
SupportAssist: CLI to generate Universal key Support for establishing a connection between OS10 and SupportAssist server. The connection is established using the Universal key, which is generated using the Access key and PIN.
CLI to run SupportAssist on management VRF The support-assist generate universal-key <access-key> <pin> CLI is used to generate the universal key and the vrf management CLI is used to run SupportAssist on management VRF.
