Table 1-1 Minimum Firmware Versions for ProCurve Switches

ComponentMinimum Firmware Version
ProCurve Switch 2650

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.

  • 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.

ProCurve Switch 2848/2824

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.

  • 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 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.
