Understanding the Image Version String
The image version string contains build information for each version of ExtremeWare. You can use

show version
or
show switch
command to display the ExtremeWare version running on
your switch.
Depending on the CLI command, the output is structured as follows:
•
show version
Version <major>.<sub_major>.<minor> (Build<build>) {[branch | beta | tech |
patch]{<image_version>}.<image_description>-r<branch_revision>}
•
show switch
