firmwareShow
to verify that the firmware version has been updated and that the versions are the same on the

If you have one or more port or extension blades in the device, the Fabric OS automatically detects mismatches
between the active CP firmware and the blade's firmware and triggers the auto-leveling process. This auto-leveling
process automatically updates the application blade firmware to match the active CP blade. At the end of the auto-
leveling process, the active CP and extension blades will run the same version of the firmware.
