Verify the software inventory

This section provides information about how to verify the level of software components and obtain
updates to your software inventory. For information about applying software updates, please refer
to the BCM50 Administration Guide (NN40020-600).

Viewing the inventory of BCM50 software

BCM50 software is organized into software components that you can individually update as
required. The version of each software component is tracked so that you can determine the exact
software release level of a BCM50 to the component level.
You can view the complete inventory of software installed on the BCM50. The Software
Inventory table displays all the software components installed on the system, the functional group
and the software version of each component.
