Displaying the Management Software Version Number
This procedure explains how to display the version number of the
AlliedWare Plus operating software on the active controller card in the
chassis. The two chassis of the stack must have the same version of
operating system. To display the management software version number,
perform the following procedure:
1. Start a local or remote management session on the switch. For
instructions on how to start a local session, refer to “Starting a Local
Management Session” on page 234.
2. When prompted, enter the manager name and password to log on.
The default values are “manager” and “friend,” respectively.
The switch displays the User Exec mode prompt, shown here:
awplus>
3. Enter the ENABLE command to move from the User Exec mode to the
Privileged Exec mode:
awplus> enable
awplus#
4. In the Privileged Exec mode, enter the SHOW SYSTEM command.
awplus# show system
5. Examine the output of the command for the lines in Figure 190.

6. Do one of the following:
 If the management software is version 5.4.5 or later, continue with
the next step.
 If the management software is version 5.4.4, Allied Telesis
recommends upgrading the controller card to version 5.4.5 or later.
You have to use AT-Stack/OP transceivers to build a stack with the
release 5.4.4 of the AlliedWare Plus Operating System. This
restriction no longer applies with release 5.4.5 or later. You may
use any direct connect twinax cables or SFP+ transceivers for the
trunk so long as the cables or transceivers are from Allied Telesis
and have been approved for the SFP+ slots. For further
information, refer to “Stack Trunk” on page 303.
