There are two switch versions available for
each of the ProCurve Switch 5400s, ProCurve
Switch 3500yl-24G-PWR, and ProCurve Switch
3500yl-48G-PWR—the Intelligent Edge switch
and the Premium Edge switch. All the 5400
and 3500 switches ship as Intelligent Edge
switches. An Intelligent Edge switch can be
upgraded to a Premium Edge switch via the
optional Premium Edge license. Product
numbers for the two Premium Edge license
products are:
• J8993A ProCurve Switch 3500yl Premium
Edge License
• J8994A ProCurve Switch 5400zl Premium
Edge License
Each Intelligent Edge switch that is upgraded
to a Premium Edge switch requires its own
license product. Intelligent Edge switches
can be upgraded at any time. A license can
later be removed from a Premium Edge
switch (making it an Intelligent Edge switch)
and used to upgrade another Intelligent Edge
switch of the same type to a Premium Edge
switch.
The update process can be done manually
through the MyProCurve Portal Web site using
the registration ID included with the Premium
Edge license, along with some information
obtained from the switch to be upgraded. The
portal will provide a license key that is
entered into the switch being upgraded,
making it a Premium Edge switch.
ProCurve Manager (PCM) or ProCurve
Manager Plus can also be used to make the
upgrade process a little easier. Provide the
registration ID from the Premium Edge
license and tell PCM which switch to upgrade.
PCM will communicate with the MyProCurve
Portal directly and upgrade the switch
without user intervention.
