This is a shared topic reused across multiple customer-facing FastIron and SmartZone publications. Please respect the contents and do not make changes to versions, feature names, model names, or any other substantive text unless the changes have been reviewed by at least one subject matter expert, preferably the product PM.
The following ICX switch models can be managed from SmartZone:

The following table defines ICX and SmartZone release compatibility.

Note: ICX switches must be running FastIron 08.0.80a at a minimum to connect to SmartZone.

An ICX switch running unsupported firmware can still connect to the SmartZone controller. After the switch is connected, you must upgrade it to a firmware version that is compatible with the SmartZone controller version.

Note: ICX switches with FIPS mode enabled do not support management by SmartZone.
