Displaying the Hardware Status and AlliedWare Plus Version Number

This section contains the procedure for displaying the version number of
the AlliedWare Plus software on the switch. This procedure is important if
the switches contain the AT-StackQS or AT-x9EM/XT4 Card, or you plan
to use copper or SFP Gigabit ports for the trunk. The procedure verifies
that the version of the software supports the hardware features.
To verify support for the hardware features, perform the following
procedure:
1. Power on one of the switches by doing one of the following:
If the switch has an AC power supply, connect the AC power cord

to the power supply on the back panel and to an AC power source.
if the switch has two power supplies, you need to power on only
one of them for this procedure.
If the switch has the DC AT-PWR250-80 Power Supply, power on

the DC circuit and the On/Off switch on the power supply. (If you
have not yet wired the DC connector on the power supply, refer to
Chapter 9, "Wiring the DC Connector on the AT-PWR250-80
Power Supply" on page 137.)
2. Wait one minute for the switch to initialize its management software.
3. Start a local management session on the switch. For instructions, refer
to "Starting a Local Management Session" on page 142.
4. In the User Exec or Privileged Exec mode, enter the SHOW SYSTEM
ENVIRONMENT command to display hardware status. Check the
Status column. All components should have the "OK" status.
5. In the User Exec mode, enter either the SHOW SYSTEM or SHOW
VERSION command.
6. Compare the Software Version field in the command with the
information in Table 20 on page 146 to determine whether the switch
supports the hardware options and whether you need to update its
software. For example, if you are building a VCStack with AT-StackQS
Cards and AT-QSFPSR Transceivers, you need to update the
software if it is earlier than 5.4.5-1.
