Line 7: ===DNOS3=== * DNOS 3.x: This is a family of firmware for the campus access switches that can only be managed using a web based GUI or run as unmanaged device. ===DNOS6=== * DNOS 6.x: This is the operating system running on the Dell Networking N-series (campus) networking switches. It is the latest version of the 'PowerConnect' operating system, running on a Linux Kernel. It is available as upgrade for the PowerConnect 8100 series switches (which then become a Dell Networking N40xx switch) and it also is installed on all DN N1000, N2000 and N3000 series switches. It has a full web-based GUI together with a full CLI (command line interface) and the CLI will be very similar to the original PowerConnect CLI, though with a range of new features like PVSTP (per VLAN spanning tree), Policy Based Routing and [[MLAG]]. Line 15 ⟶ 16: Only the PowerConnect 8100 will be able to run on DNOS 6.x: all other PowerConnect ethernet switches will continue to run its own PowerConnect OS (on top of VxWorks) while the PowerConnect W-series run on a Dell specific version of ArubaOS. The Dell Networking S- xxxx and Z9x00 series will run on DNOS where the other Dell Networking switches will continue to run FTOS 8.x firmware. ===OS10=== OS10 is a Linux -based open networking OS that can run on all ONIE switches. As it runs directly in a Linux environment network admins can highly automate the network platform and manage the switches in a similar way as the (Linux) servers. OS10 is still under development, but available for testing and development. ==Hardware Abstraction Layer== Line 55 ⟶ 57: ==Alternative OS== On some models Dell Networking switches (currently the S3048-ON, S4048-ON, S4810-ON, S6000-ON and Z9100) it is possible to run an alternative network OS: [[Cumulus Networks#Cumulus Linux\|Cumulus Linux]]. This will run instead of DNOS on top of NetBSD. Cumulus Linux is a complete Linux distribution which uses the full TCP/IP stack of Linux.<ref>IT Online: [http://it-online.co.za/2014/02/07/dell-decouples-hardware-and-software/ Dell decouples hardware and software], 7 February, 2014. visited: 28 April, 2014</ref> ==Sources and references==
