Hi @SandroAlvesBR,

 

If you do not have any mixed model stack groups, you can download the latest version, which is 6.8. Also, I've removed your link due to as it is directing the page to your service tag details.

I've successfully booted my N1148T-ON HW Version 5 onto the N1100v6.7.1.10 image.  I have been running 0 days, 01h:53m:05s without problem on my slightly complex set of broadcast domains.  The limit is 512, and I'm using maybe 12.  I also have an N1124T-ON HW Version 4 running on the same version.  If Dell could indicate which of the next image versions work on these hardware versions, it would support me in my enterprise.

I see that the filename format varies[1] between the 6.7 branch and the 6.8 branch.  The ones that say Dell EMC Networking N1100-ON Series Switches have worked for me, but the ones with format Upgrading Dell Networking N1100-ON Series Switches complain that this hardware will not run this image version.

I have now tried the N1100v6.7.1.22.stk image.  each of the devices are in the route path for the TCP socket over which I am submitting this post.  

24-port: System Up Time: 0 days, 00h:07m:44s

48-port: System Up Time: 0 days, 00h:08m:16s

I approve of 6.7.1.22[1] in my AS on:

* N1124T-ON HW Version 4

* N1148T-ON HW Version 5
