Downgrading from a Higher Release
The procedure to downgrade the switch is identical to a switch upgrade, except that the image files to be
loaded are for an earlier release than the image currently running on the switch.
Prior to downgrading to a specific release, check the release notes for the current release installed on the
Note
switch, to ensure that your hardware is compatible with the specific release. There are special caveats you
must be aware of before you downgrade the switch software to a 4.0(0)-based release. See the Cisco Nexus
5000 Series and Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Release Notes for details.
To downgrade the software on the switch, follow these steps:
