the path to the version

Checking connected switches
If the switch to be upgraded is running version 4.1.0 firmware or later, HP recommends that all switches
directly connected to it be running versions no earlier than 2.6.1, 3.1.0, or 4.1.0. If some connected
switches are running earlier firmware versions, upgrade them to at least the earliest recommended version
(shown in
) before upgrading firmware on your switch. HP recommends that you download the
latest firmware; to download firmware, see ”
