V1R1

CCIs

Discussion

Network devices running an unsupported operating system lack current security fixes required to mitigate the risks associated with recent vulnerabilities.

Check Content

Verify the OS10 Switch complies with this requirement by entering the following command: 

OS10# show version

Verify the release is still supported by Dell. All OS10 releases supported by Dell can be found at https://www.dell.com/support.

If the OS10 Switch is not running an operating system release that is currently supported by Dell, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Upgrade the network device to the latest version of the desired LTS version of OS10 available from Dell support.
