HP 7500-CMW520-R6701 Release Notes • Workarounds: ○ Before upgrading to the new code, it is necessary to ensure password control is disabled. Execute the “undo password-control enable” and then save this configuration file as a backup in case you need to downgrade the software again. If it is later necessary to downgrade to earlier software, force the switch to use this backup configuration file by executing a ”startup saved-configuration (filename)” command before rebooting to the old code.
