HP Switch v2 zl Modules
HP Switch v2 zl Modules
For the HP E5400 zl and E8200 zl Switches
Descriptions.   The HP Switch v2 zl Modules are the second generation zl 
modules and provide a variety of improved network connectivity options for 
any of the HP E5400 zl or E8200 zl switches. The following modules are 
currently available. 
Compatibility Mode allows the inter-operation of v2 zl modules with the older 
zl modu
les in the same chassis switch. When in Compatibility Mode, the switch 
accepts either v2 zl or zl modules. The default is Compatibility Mode enabled. 
If Compatibility Mode is disabled by executing the “no allow-v1-modules” 
command, the switch will only power up v2 zl modules. For more information 
refer to the “Enhancement titled ‘Compatibility Mode’ in the latest Release 
Notes for your switch”.
