HP Switch v2 zl Modules

For the HP E5400 zl and E8200 zl Switches

Descriptions. The HP Switch v2 zl Modules are the second generation zl

modules and provide a variety of improved network connectivity options for

any of the HP E5400 zl or E8200 zl switches. The following modules are

currently available.

Compatibility Mode allows the inter-operation of v2 zl modules with the older

zl modules in the same chassis switch. When in Compatibility Mode, the switch

accepts either v2 zl or zl modules. The default is Compatibility Mode enabled.

If Compatibility Mode is disabled by executing the “no allow-v1-modules”

command, the switch will only power up v2 zl modules. For more information

refer to the “Enhancement titled ‘Compatibility Mode’ in the latest Release

Notes for your switch”.
