Table 1-1 Minimum Firmware Versions for ProCurve Switches
Minimum Firmware VersionComponent
The minimum firmware version is H.07.02.
However, be aware that the discovery protocol changed with
firmware version H.08.77. All switches on an XC network must
support the same discovery protocol.
ProCurve Switch 2650
• Firmware Version H.07.02 supports the Cisco discovery protocol
(CDP). If one switch is installed with this firmware version, all
switches must be running this firmware version or an earlier
version.
• In Firmware Version H.08.77, the protocol changed from CDP
to the link layer discovery protocol (LLDP). If one switch is
installed with this firmware version or a later version, and thus
is using the LLDP protocol, all switches must be running this
firmware version or a later version.
If your switch or switches support LLDP, you must log in to the
ITRC
1
and download and install the patch that contains the
hptc-cluconfig-3–37.4.5sp RPM to obtain the patch to
the discover command that supports the LLDP protocol.
The minimum firmware version is I.07.56.
However, be aware that the discovery protocol changed with
firmware version I08.74. All switches on an XC network must
support the same discovery protocol.
ProCurve Switch 2848/2824
• Firmware Version I.07.56 supports the Cisco discovery protocol
(CDP). If one switch is installed with this firmware version, all
switches must be running this firmware version or an earlier
version.
• In Firmware Version I.08.74, the protocol changed from CDP to
the link layer discovery protocol (LLDP). If one switch is
installed with this firmware version or a later version, and thus
is using the LLDP protocol, all switches must be running this
firmware version or a later version.
If your switch or switches support LLDP, you must log in to the
