a version earlier than 06.02.00. The Sphereon 4700 or 4400 switches cannot be downgrade to a version earlier than 08.00.00. • If a Director 2/140 in a multiswitch fabric is downgraded to a version earlier than 06.02.00, ISLs can become segmented if there are any other switches in the fabric operating with a firmware version earlier than 06.01.00. To prevent this situation, downgrade all Director 2/140s in the fabric to 06.01.00 before downgrading any products in the fabric to 05.xx.xx. This problem only exists with Director 2/140s in the fabric. HAFM displays a warning message if a downgrade from 06.02.00 is attempted, but you can continue with the downgrade if desired. NOTE: A warning message appears when downgrading any model from 06.02.00, but only applies to downgrade operations for the Director 2/140.
