This function checks the software
versions of member switches for already
inconsistency with the master enable
switch. If a subordinate switch is on
using a different software version existing
than the master, the function Nokia
propagates the current software switch
images of the master to the
subordinate as main startup
software version inconsistency
from causing the IRF setup failure.
