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. This can be achieved using the switch firmware upgrade option in the Switch Group or by selecting one or more switches and performing the upgrade.

Note: FastIron 09.0.10a and later releases support management by SmartZone 6.1 and later.

Apply conditions as needed to remove data for unreleased versions. Rows at the end of the table can be conditioned out without format issues. Confirm the output looks correct, however, if conditions have been applied.
Note: ICX switches with FIPS mode enabled do not support management by SmartZone.
