The current versions should be FPGA 1.1.38 and CPLD 1.1.16. If you have a VIM installed, the current version is VPLD1.1.12, and there is no update required.

If the firmware is out of date, run the install firmware {force} {slot slot-number} command to update the firmware. Running the update can take three to four minutes. Reboot the switch after updating it to activate the firmware.
