Determining the Software Version Number from Filenames
Determining the Software Version Number from Filenames
The following version management commands require a version number to be entered in a specific
format as follows:
• abortrev
• burnboot
• commitrev
• loadrev
• runrev
• setrev
In most cases, you will find the correct firmware version numbers in the Release Notes for
Cisco MGX 8850 and MGX 8830 Software Version 3 (PXM45/B and PXM1E) or the Release Notes for
Cisco MGX 8950 Software Version 3. If the release notes are not available, you can use the firmware
filename to determine the version number as described below.
Step 1 Establish a configuration session at any access level.
Step 2 To view the files on the switch hard drive, you can enter UNIX-like commands at the switch prompt. To
change directories to the firmware directory (FW), enter the cd command as follows:
mgx8850a.7.PXM.a > cd C:/FW
Note Remember that UNIX directory and filenames are case sensitive.
Step 3 To list the contents of the directory, enter the ll command:
mgx8850a.7.PXM.a > ll
The following example shows an ll command display:
pop20one.7.PXM.a > ll
