Upgrading PowerConnect Switches from Version 2.x.x.x or 3.x.x.x or
4.x.x.x or 5.x.x.x to 5.1.9.3 Firmware
8. Verify that the 5.1.9.3 version of firmware is loaded on the switch. The switch or stack is now ready for
normal operation. Verify the configuration and make any changes needed prior to connecting the switch to
the operational network.
Firmware Downgrade
Downgrading from 5.1.9.3 to an earlier release is supported on all PowerConnect series switches. But migration of
configuration information from a later release to an earlier release is not supported. The existing configuration may
or may not work with downgraded firmware, therefore, it is best to be physically present at the switch site and to be
prepared to access the switch over the serial port if necessary when downgrading firmware.
Auto-downgrade of a stack is enabled by default. To avoid accidentally downgrading a stack, be sure to disable
auto-downgrade (CLI command: no boot auto-copy-sw allow-downgrade).
Boot Code Downgrade
Never downgrade the boot code! The 5.1.9.3 boot code supports all earlier versions of firmware and never needs
downgrading.
