Before you Begin
Before you begin, ensure that you perform the following actions:
•
Before proceeding, upgrade the C9010 to Dell Networking OS version 9.11(0.0) or later.
•
Before converting the N20xx or N30xx switch to a port extender, upgrade the N20xx or N30xx switch to Dell Networking OS version
6.3.0.16 or later.
•
If you convert an N-series port extender back to a Dell N20xx or N30xx switch, connect the PE to the C9010 as you can only perform
the conversion on the C9010 console.
•
You do not have to use the license file for conversion on the switch.
