Compatibility with BayStack 450 switches
The BPS 2000 software version 1.2 is compatible with BayStack 450 software
version 4.1.
When you are using a local console to access the BPS 2000 software version 1.2
features with a Hybrid, or mixed, stack (BPS 2000 and BayStack 450 and 410
switches in the same stack), you must plug your local console into a BPS 2000
unit.
To find out which version of the BPS 2000 software is running, use the console
interface (CI) menus or the Web-based management system:
• CI menus—From the main menu of the console, choose Systems
Characteristics menu. The software currently running is displayed in
sysDescr.
• Web-based management system—Open the System Information page, which
is under Administration on the main menu. The software currently running is
displayed in the sysDescription field.
