<WS5100-3.0.0.0-XX.v2> to the WS5100 running the legacy switch firmware.
NOTE: If upgrading a 1.4.x version WS5100 to the new 3.0 baseline, be sure you are
using the <WS5100-3.0.0.0-XX.v1> image file. If upgrading a 2.x version
WS5100 to the new 3.0 baseline, be sure you are using the <WS5100-3.0.0.0-
