Description

This compressed, Zip-format file contains software version G.07.107 for the ProCurve Series 4100gl Switches. This software release is described in detail in the document: Release Notes Version G.07.107 (PDF: 445 KB) on the ProCurve Networking Web site. The compressed file contains a Read Me First file, the switch software itself (G_07_107.swi), and the release notes (4100gl-RelNotes-G07107-59903067.pdf).
CAUTION: Archive Pre-G.07.20 Configuration Files

A configuration file saved while using release G.07.20 (or greater) is not backward-compatible with earlier releases. For this reason, HP recommends that you archive the most recent configuration on switches using software releases earlier than G.07.20 before you update any switches to software release G.07.20 or later.

Software Update Notice
Check the ProCurve Networking Web site frequently for free software updates for the various ProCurve switches you may have in your network (see Release Notes).

Connectivity Note Regarding Gigabit-SX and -LX Port Settings for Links Between a ProCurve Series 4100gl Switch and Other Switch Models:

In the ProCurve 1600M/2400M/2424M/4000M/8000M switches, and also in other vendors' switches, the default port mode setting for the Gigabit-SX and Gigabit-LX ports is forced 1000FDx (Gigabit full-duplex). However, the default port mode for the Gigabit-SX and -LX ports in the ProCurve 4108gl is Auto. In earlier software releases, the ProCurve 4108gl tolerated this mismatch and allowed SX and LX links with these other switches to exist. The ProCurve 4108gl (when running software release G.04.04 or greater) now complies with the Gigabit-SX and -LX standard that disallows linkbeat to be enabled when there is a mismatch. (The ProCurve 4104gl, introduced with software release G.05.01, also complies with this requirement.) Thus, mismatched links between Gigabit-SX and -LX ports on a ProCurve Series 4100gl switch and the ProCurve 1600M/2400M/2424M/4000M/8000M switches or other switches that were formerly allowed will now fail. To avoid this problem either reconfigure the Gigabit-SX and -LX ports to Auto on the HP 1600M/2400M/2424M/4000M/8000M switches or other switches, or reconfigure the Gigabit-SX and -LX ports on the ProCurve Series 4100gl switches to 1000FDx.
IMPORTANT

Starting with software version G.07.79, FEC trunks (Cisco Systems’ Fast EtherChannel for aggregated links) are no longer supported, and generation of CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol) packets are no longer supported. In their place are IEEE standards-based LACP aggregated links (as well as statically configured trunks) and generation of LLDP packets for device discovery. For more information, see the ProCurve Networking statement on standards-based configuration for link aggregation and device discovery.

G.7.70 or later is required to support the new ProCurve Gigabit 1000Base-T Mini-GBIC (J8177B). You must upgrade the software on your Switch 4100gl chassis and then reboot to properly recognize this new Mini-GBIC.

IMPORTANT

Starting with software version G.07.65, the Series 4100gl switches detect and disable non-genuine ProCurve transceivers and mini-GBICs discovered in switch ports. When a non-genuine device is discovered, the switch disables the port and generates an error message in the Event Log. For more information, see ProCurve Networking policy on third party connectivity accessories.
