Firmware versions compatibility

[Andres Olmedo]

Hello,

I have a fabric built in with two 1Gb/16 ports switches and one 2Gb/16 EL ports switch.

I have a doubt :
Are fully compatibles the firmware version of my old switches (ver 2.6.0c) and my new switch (ver 3.0.2f) to built the same fabric?

It's imperative that yoo check the SAN design guide. There is a section on the interoperability between the different switches.

Some of the older 1 Gbit ones are not compatible with newer versions. They might work together in the same fabric, but they are not supported together. There is a difference.
