IMPORTANT:

3400cl switches MUST be running ROM version I.08.12 prior to loading M.10.20 or newer software. If your switch is using a software version earlier than M.10.10, you need to install and boot the M.10.10 software (included in the M.10.41 software package) to load the I.08.12 ROM version, before installing M.10.20 or newer.

Security Note:

Downloading and booting software release M.08.89 or greater for the first time automatically enables SNMP access to the hpSwitchAuth MIB objects. If this is not desirable for your network, ProCurve recommends that you disable it after downloading and rebooting with the latest switch software. For more information, refer to “Enforcing Switch Security” on page 10 and “Using SNMP To View and Configure Switch Authentication Features” on page 35.

Configuration Compatibility Caution:

Configuration files created or saved using version M.10.65 or higher are NOT backward-compatible with previous software versions. The user is advised to save a copy of the pre-M.10.65 startup-config file BEFORE UPDATING to M.10.68 or greater, in case there is ever a need to revert back to an earlier version of software.
