cally receive email notice of new updates for your managed ProCurve networking

To determine whether you have the latest software, you can compare the software version that is

available on the web site with the version that is currently installed on your switch. Follow the

instructions below to determine the current software version in your switch.

To Determine the Current Software Version in Your Switch. For the Series 5300xl Switches,

use any of the following methods to view the current software version:

■ Start a console session with the switch. In the console login screen (the first screen

displayed), the Firmware revision line under the switch name shows the software version.

■ If you already have a console session going, at the prompt enter the show version command.

The resulting display lists the current software version.

■ In the web browser interface, click on the Identity tab. The current software version is listed

as the revision number in the Version line.

Software Release E.09.22 Is Included with Your Module, however E08.42

and greater supports these modules as well.

Switch xl Module (J4820B, J4821B, or J4878B). This version is the latest switch software that pro-

vides support for these modules. For ProCurve Series 5300xl Switches that have switch software
