Dell N Series 6.2.6.6 firmware
Hey guys,
been having a few issues the past few weeks with port-channels and OSPF convergence and apparently the latest version of Dell's firmware for their brand-new N series switches fixes a long list of issues.
If anyone here has been having performance issues with their N series switches, the difference is noticeable.
