Verifying Device Agent Versions

You can check the agent version on an HP device using one of the following methods:

Use the device's console port interface (a non-networkconnection).

• You can connect a terminal or computer directly to the device or through a modem. Refer to the device's Installation and Reference Guide for use of the device's RS-232 console port.

• For HP devices, you can use an ASCII terminal or computer with VT 100 terminal emulation.

Use an available network application (a network connection).

• For HP devices, use an existing version of HP TopTools for Hubs & Switches or other device management utility.

Update the device's software or firmware to the current supported version.
