FTOS: Art & Measurement

FTOS or Force10 Operating System is a discontinued firmware family used on Force10 Ethernet switches. It has a similar functionality as Cisco's NX-OS or Juniper's Junos. FTOS 10 is running on Debian. As part of a re-branding strategy of Dell, FTOS was renamed to Dell Networking Operating System (DNOS) 9.x or above, while the legacy PowerConnect switches…
