Using the same ﬁ

All directors a

nd edge switches in the same fabric should have the same ﬁrmwar e level

installed—wh

ether 1 Gb ps or 2 Gbps capable, this ﬁrmware operates correctly.

The recently released Edge Switch 2/12 had an interim ﬁrmware speciﬁcfortheEdge

Switch 2/12, 05.05.00-12. This ﬁrmware cannot be used for any other edge switch

or director. This interim version is compatible with the M-Series ﬁrmware 05 .02.00-13

used for the rest of the M-Series fabric products. The ﬁrmware 07.00.00-84 is a common

ﬁrmware for a

ll the M-Series fabric products, including the Edge Switch 2/12.

Firmware 06

.02.00-22 provides support for second-generation Edge Switch 2/12 and

Edge Switch

2/24 switches. This is the minimum M-Series ﬁrmware supported on the

second-ge

neration Edge Switch 2/12 and Edge Switch 2/24.
