the Business Policy Switch 2000 Command Line Interface Software

stack or a Hybrid stack.
The stacking software compatibility requirements are as follows:
• Pure BPS 2000 stack—All units must be running the same software version.

version.
• Hybrid stack:
— All BPS 2000 units must be running the same software version.
