Other Changes to the Document
This edition contains only minor edits, with no changes to syntax.
Changes in the previous edition include:
Unsupported Features: The major change was to note features that were at least partially
implemented in SFTOS 2.5.2, but not supported by Dell Force10, because they were not sufficiently
tested. The Release Notes document for SFTOS 2.5.2.2 contains a list of those features, including
DSCP options in QoS commands, DVMRP, GARP, GVRP, IP subnet-based VLANs, MAC-based
VLANs, PIM-DM, protocol-based VLANs, VLAN-Stacking, and the Web UI.
The SFTOS Web User Interface (Web UI) chapter is removed from this book, and the Command
History fields of commands supporting those unsupported features are updated in this edition with the
following statement:
Version 2.5.2 Unsupported: not tested in 2.5.2
The ACL chapter now states that both MAC and IP ACLs can be applied to the same interface. See
Chapter 21, “ACL Commands,” on page 379.
The adu.iOdutagCEs commands (global and interface) are added to the DHCP Server Commands
chapter. See DHCP Server Commands on page 231.
Corrections to existing commands include a:,duEo rgE (see igmp enable (interface) on page 274)
and Og nnetnEsbaOEuCsWnC (see classofservice trust on page 329).
Changes to the previous edition of this guide for SFTOS 2.5.2 include:
