Caution: Archive Pre-F.05.17 Configuration Files
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.
