Old Code version for HP2626

[KevinW_1]

How can I obtain code for the 2626 that still has full CDP?

I think I need H.08.53 but not higher than H.08.77

I need this for a short while to play nicely with over switches until we migrate to higher platforms.

thanks.

Hi

You can still play very nicely with LLDP :)

I don't think you can get it anyway from ProCurve site, anymore, but let me check, i usually keep the old firmwares somewhere for SUCH NICE SITUATIONS.

If i find i will try to upload it here, unless HP has any objections :)

Good Luck !!!

Yep, I know about LLDP but the other players are 2524's and they are "crippled". They receive but don't send LLDP packets.

As funds become available we are upgrading 2524's to 2626's which have full LLDP.

Why HP decided to move away from CDP is a good discussion topic but why they took away a fully implemented service and replace it with a svc that is only half down is beyond me.

I'm happy to use LLDP as long as it is fully there.

So........ until we're completely 2626 we would like the 2626s to play nice with the 2524s with full CDP.

I'm hoping I can get older code from someone out there who "saves everything".

thanks.
