To obtain Cisco IOS XR software and version information, use the Cisco IOS XR Software Selector tool
on the following website:
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Software/IOXPlanner/planner-tool/ioxplanner.cgi?
Some software offered through the Cisco IOS XR Software Selector tool is provided in files with a .tar
Note
or a .vm filename extension. TAR files are compressed files that can contain both package files (PIE
files) and .vm files. For more information on TAR and .vm files, refer to
Guide."
The Cisco IOS XR Software Selector tool allows you to browse for your software upgrade from a single
interface. You can display and select software by package name, release, and platform. The tool also
includes XML schemes. Choosing a platform, release, or software feature automatically limits the
choices based on your selection, until you arrive at your preferred software.
