instructions below to determine the current software version in your switch.
To Determine the Current Software Version in Your Switch. For the Series 4200vl Switch, use
any of the following methods to view the current software version:
■ Start a console session with the switch. In the console login screen (the first screen
displayed), the Firmware revision line under the switch name shows the software version.
■ If you already have a console session going, at the prompt enter the show version command.
The resulting display lists the current software version.
■ In the web browser interface, click on the Identity tab. The current software version is listed
in the Version line.

methods for downloading new operating system software. For instructions on how to download the
