device features, each network device must contain a compatible version of
agent software or firmware.

Verifying Device Agent Versions

You can check the agent version on an HP device using one of the following
methods:

Use the device's console port interface (a non-network connection).

You can connect a terminal or computer directly to the device or
through a modem. Refer to the device's Installation and Reference
Guide

for use of the device's RS-232 console port.

For HP devices, you can use an ASCII terminal or computer with
VT 100 terminal emulation.

Use an available network application (a network connection).

For HP devices, use an existing version of HP TopTools for Hubs &
Switches or other device management utility.

Update the device's software or firmware to the current supported version.
