    Hi,

    I try to get my hands on the latest release for A5820. Looking at https://h10145.www1.hp.com/downloads/SoftwareReleases.aspx?ProductNumber=JC102A R1206 is provided.
    But as we all know this switch is H3C, there´s a more updated firmware release ( R1211 ) provided here: http://www.h3c.com/portal/Technical_Support___Documents/Software_Download/Switches/H3C_S5800_5820X_Series_Switches/H3C_S5800_5820X_Series_Switches/

    The problem. I can´t get access on that portal. Perhaps you know how one can get that one downloaded?
