Software Updates
Hewlett-Packard periodically provides software updates on the HP ProCurve
web sit
e for various HP ProCurve switch models you may have in your network.
To access the latest software updates, go to the HP ProCurve we
b site at
http://www.hp.co
m/
go/hpprocurve then click on software updates to go to the “HP
ProCurve Networking Software updates” page.
Register for Automatic Notification of Updates. From the HP ProCurve web
site click on technical support. Under “Additional support” click on Software
notification registration and follow the instructions on that page for how to receive
automatic email update notices.
To determine whether you have the latest software, you can compare the software version that is
available on the web site with the version that is currently installed on your switch. Follow the
instructions below to determine the current software version on your switch.
To Determine the Current Software Version in Your Switch. Use any of the following methods
to view the version:
Start a console session with the switch. In the console login screen (the first screen
displayed), the Firmware revision line under the switch name shows the software version.
If you already have a console session going, at the prompt enter the show version command.
The resulting display lists the current software version.
In the web browser interface, click on the Identity tab. The current software version is listed
as the revision number in the Version line.
