Dell Networking N2000 Series, Firmware Version 6.3.2.6

Both Dell Networking N2000 and N3000 Series switches share the same firmware image file (N3000_N2000v6.3.2.6.stk). If your N2000 series switch has an earlier version of firmware (6.0.0.7 or 6.0.0.8 or 6.0.1.3), upgrade your switch to the latest version of firmware 6.3.2.6 as it contains multiple bug fixes.

New CPLD version 15 is available in this release for both N3000 and N2000 Series switches. After upgrading the switches to FW version 6.3.2.6, the CPLD can be updated to version 15 from CLI using the command - update cpld. To update CPLD on stack members, run - 'devshell cpldUpdate' command from serial console. Please DO NOT power-cycle the switch when CPLD update is in progress. After CPLD update is complete, it's required to do manual switch power-cycle. Verify CPLD Version with the command - 'show version' from CLI after power-cycle.
