Policy Switches and BayStack 450 and/or BayStack 410 switches.
This appendix covers the following topics:

Setting up your mixed stack configuration on page340
Compatibility with BayStack 450 switches
The BPS 2000 software version 1.2 is compatible with BayStack 450 software
version 4.1.
When you are using a local console to access the BPS 2000 software version 1.2
features with a Hybrid, or mixed, stack (BPS 2000 and BayStack 450 and 410
switches in the same stack), you must plug your local console into a BPS 2000
unit.
To find out which version of the BPS 2000 software is running, use the console
interface (CI) menus or the Web-based management system:
CI menusFrom the main menu of the console, choose Systems
Characteristics menu. The software currently running is displayed in
sysDescr.
Web-based management systemOpen the System Information page, which
is under Administration on the main menu. The software currently running is
displayed in the sysDescription field.
