Dual-stage configuration mode in Nexus 92348GC-X Switch

[ssajiby2k]

Hi,

I have updated one Nexus 92348GC-X Switch to version 10.3.4a.

I was hoping I can use the "configuration dual-stage" mode after the upgrade.

But - when I type "configuration dual-stage" from execution mode, I getting this message -

"command supported in dual-stage mode" and the switch remains in execution mode.

Does Cisco limits this dual-stage mode only for certain models of Nexus switches only?

Or am I doing something wrong?

Per the NX-OS feature support matrix, two-stage is supported on the model in question in v. 10.1(2) and later, https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/Website/datacenter/platform/platform.html.

Can you attach a screenshot?

Regards,

Joe

Here comes the screenshot. The switch refuses to go to two-stage mode -

The dual-stage configuration depends on DME support. However, N9K-C92348GC-X does not support DME in version 10.3.4a. You can upgrade to either version 10.4(3) or 10.5(1), and it should be supported.

Many thanks for a quick resolution. I didn't know that dual-stage is based on dme and different model got dme in different version. Even Cisco product support matrix is not updated correctly. Now verified this works with ver 10.5.1.

Thank you for your feedback. I have collaborated with the doc team to include this limit in the configuration guide:
