Using the same firmware
All directors and edge switches in the same fabric should have the same firmware
level installed—whether 1 Gbps or 2 Gbps capable, this firmware operates
correctly.
The recently released Edge Switch 2/12 had an interim firmware specific for the
Edge 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
05.01.00-24 and 05.02.00-13 used for the rest of the M-Series fabric products. The
firmware 06.02.00-22 is a common firmware for all the M-Series fabric products,
including the Edge Switch 2/12.
Firmware 06.02.00-22 includes minor bug fixes, and 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-generation Edge
Switch 2/12 and Edge Switch 2/24.
