Correct. As to 0.9.0.A, that would be my belief - that they moved to a hex style system, instead. I'd need to double check, but I'm confident enough that I'd have to have a helping of humble pie, if that's not the case.   I personally don't much care for moderation bots, but I do think it helps keep the community forum a little bit more welcoming. There's obviously a tradeoff involved there, but I think it's helped give a good environment for our long term users, too.   If you're interested, you're welcome to message me the service tag of your switch and I can check the warranty status on it. I've got a buddy on the team who says that this sort of user/admin education type call is something they enjoy handling. You're obviously more than welcome to keep talking with me here, but I did want to make sure that you didn't miss out on something that could potentially help.
So the first thing that needs to be said is that I am not a networking guy.  I'm a software guy who happens to be in charge of a small lab with a few enterprise switches.  Thus, things that may be screamingly obvious to folks who interact with networking gear all the time are not at all obvious to me. With that ... I've got a couple of new S3048-ONs that I am trying to update to the latest software and firmware levels before deploying them.  I've managed to update ONIE and DCLI to the latest versions, and the BIOS update looks relatively straightforward.  The CPLD update, however, is giving me trouble. In fact, it's not the update per se (as I understand that the "firmware" update should take care of both the BIOS and the CPLD).  The thing that's driving me crazy are the CPLD version numbers. For example, the Troubleshooting Guide here says that the showSystemInfo command (at the DCLI prompt) should give me something like this: CPLD Info:System CPLD Version: xx.xMaster CPLD Version: xxSlvae CPLD Version : x Packed CPLD image Info:Packed System CPLD Version : xx.xPacked Master CPLD Version : xxPacked Slave CPLD Version : x And the Release Notes here note a minimum required CPLD version of 9.7. But the output that I get from showSystemInfo doesn't look like either of those: CPLD Info:        Module CPLD Version   : 7       System CPLD Version   : 9Packed CPLD image Info:       Packed Module CPLD Version   : 9       Packed System CPLD Version   : 10 How am I supposed to interpret what I'm seeing on my switch?
