OFTWARE VERSION AND MODEL
It is possible to read the router‟s model through the command
show model
:
root@IMOLA>
show model
Tiesse Imola 5262 Multiprotocol Router
The command
show version
shows the software‟s version.
root@IMOLA>
show version
Imola version: 5.4.3-2
The version number adopts the naming convention:
5.x.y-N
The
first number
identifies the hardware platform used in the production.
The value of
x
indicates the major number, which changes in case of relevant functionality.
For example, with the support of protocol IPv6 it is possible to pass from release 4.3.1 to
release 4.4.0.
The value of
y
indicates the minor number, which increases when other independent
functionality, which do not affect other software‟s functions, are added. For example, with
the addition of the Tacacs support it is possible to pass from release 4.3.0 to release 4.3.1.
The suffix
N
indicates the build number. It increases in case of small bug-fixing which do
not require non-regression tests. For example, by making a correction in the module
managing IP SLA‟s functions it is possible to pass from release 4.3.1-0 to 4.3.1-1.
In addition to the router with version 5.x.y-N, we produced router whose version is 1.x.y-N type,
router with versions 2.xy-N type and 4.x.y-N version. There is no difference from a functional point
of view.
