Add a 3.x switch to the fabric. Add a 2.x switch to the fabric. You have a fabric of switches that use 3.x firmware only. Add an additional 3.x firmware switch to the fabric. Add a 2.x switch to the fabric. Add a 4.x switch (Core Switch 2/64 or SAN Switch 2/32) to the fabric. Required Action No action is required.
