Software Management

A configuration file saved while using release F.05.17 or later software is not backward-compatible 
with earlier software versions. For this reason, HP recommends that you archive the most recent 
configuration on switches using software releases earlier than F.05.17 before you update any switches 
to software release F.05.17 or later.
