Standard Pie Filenames And Version Numbers - Cisco CRS-1 - Carrier Routing System Router Getting Started Manual

Chapter 6 Managing Cisco IOS XR Software Packages

Standard PIE Filenames and Version Numbers

There are two formats for the standard PIE filenames, one for composite package PIEs and one for
single-package PIEs. A composite package file is a nonSMU PIE file that contains multiple packages
(SMUs have a different filename format). The format for a composite package filename is:
comp-platform-composite_name.pie-major.minor.maintenance
The "comp" prefix indicates that the file is a composite of multiple packages. The other filename
components are described in
Table 6-3

A major release is the least frequent release
•
and may require a router reboot.
