Getting Information About the Network

Verifying Software Versions

Each data communications product consists of a variety of software

modules. Each module has an individual version number.

The software modules of all Hewlett-Packard data communications

products use a standard version stamp, with the following format:

v The version number of the software. This corresponds

to a major revision or a version for a new or revised

system environment.

u The update level of the software. This corresponds to a

signiﬁcant revision in product functionality.

f The ﬁx level of the software. This corresponds to a new,

supported revision of the software.

i The internal ﬁx level of the software. This is for

differentiating special releases of software that do not

correspond to a normal release cycle.

A subsystem is a grouping of software modules. The software modules

within each subsystem usually have a common or similar function.

NS 3000/iX is grouped into the following subsystems:

• The Network Services.

• Network transport.

• Node management services.

• Link support services.

• Node management conﬁgurator.

The vuuff version stamp ﬁelds of the software modules must be the same

for all conﬁgured software, but the internal ﬁx iii ﬁelds may differ.
