After upgrading Dell Networking PC8100 Series switches to firmware version 6.0.0.8 or later (6.1.2.4); the system model ID will show as "N4000" in CLI, Web UI and SNMP interfaces.

Both Dell PowerConnect 8100 Series and Dell Networking N4000 Series switches shares the same firmware image version (for example., N4000v6.1.2.4.stk). Dell Networking PC8100 series switches can be stacked with Dell Networking N4000 series switches with the entire stack required to run 6.0.0.8 or later firmware (6.1.2.4). Dell Networking PC8100 series switches can support both 5.x and 6.x firmware versions, but Dell Networking N4000 can support only 6.0.0.8 and later firmware versions.
