Downgrading OME-Modular is not recommended. OME-Modular firmware downgrade to earlier versions does not support

restoration of any configuration or settings.

NOTE: Updating the MXG610s FC IOM is not supported from the OME-Modular user interface.

NOTE: Updating MX9116n or MX5108n using catalog method is not supported. However, the catalog compliance is reported

as "compliant" as it has no means to compare the IOM versions.

impact to existing workloads. It is recommended that the updates are applied only during a regular single maintenance

window.
