Checking Software and Firmware Before Joining the Pair
At this point, the switch is ready for configuration through the GUI or CLI.
Before proceding, confirm that the replacement switch is running software
and firmware compatible with its peer. This ensures a proper rendezvous
with the redundant peer. If the replacement ARX is running a lower release
or outdated firmware, upgrade it before you proceed.
Go to the redundant peer of the switch you are replacing and check the
software version there. To find this information, you can log into the CLI
and use the
show version command, or you can log into the GUI and access
the Status page.
For example, the following CLI session shows the running software on an
ARX named
stoweA . The version number is highlighted in bold.
