Only the listed features are mutually exclusive while other features exist in both the variants of the builds. Please note the feature requirement and select the Firmware to download and run on N3000 Ethernet switch. Please note that since the features present in one variant of the firmware does not exist in other variant, the configuration specific to those exclusive features will fail configuration migration when switching between the firmware variants on N3000 Ethernet switch.

New CPLD version 15 is available in this release for both N3000 and N2000 Series switches. After upgrading the switches to FW version 6.3.2.3, the CPLD can be updated to version 15 from CLI using the command - 'update cpld'. To update CPLD on stack members, run - 'devshell cpldUpdate' command from serial console. Please DO NOT power-cycle the switch when CPLD update is in progress. After CPLD update is complete, it's required to do manual switch power-cycle. Verify CPLD Version with the command - 'show version' from CLI after power-cycle.
