Starting with Software version F.05.50, FEC trunks (Cisco Systems’ FastEtherChannel for aggregated links) are no longer supported, and generation of CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol) packets are no longer supported. In their place are IEEE standards based LACP aggregated links (as well as statically configured trunks) and generation of LLDP packets for device discovery.

Caution: Archive Pre-F.05.17 Configuration Files

A configuration file saved while using release F.05.17 or later software is not backward-compatible with earlier software versions. For this reason, ProCurve recommends that you archive the most recent configuration on switches using software releases earlier than F.05.17 before you update any switches to software release F.05.17 or later.
