XOS version on the download and release notes page

[Ronald_Dvorak]

I'm not an expert on XOS but the version name of the software is very confusing on the download / release note page.

i.e. if I run a "sh version" the switch shows...
Image : ExtremeXOS version 22.4.1.4 by release-manager

Why does the download/release notes page show 22.4 or 21.1.4.Patch1-6.

Could we make it a X.X.X.X format like the output of "sh ver" or did I miss something here !?

Thanks,
Ron

I'd like to beat this death horse a little more.....

I just prepare a switche upgrade and pre-loaded the software so I'd only need to do a reboot during the maintenance window.

Is it FAD that the image is shown without the patch information - I've loaded 22.3.1.4-patch1-8 on the primary slot but as you'd see the output is 22.3.1.4.

The same goes for XMC, it only shows the x.x.x.x without the patch information (Device View, column Firmware) - the correct information is only shown in the description column.

I'm pretty sure when you reboot you'll see the extra line under "primary" that shows the patch version. I remember hearing a reason for this behavior once upon a time, but I don't recall it now.
If you do

code:

show version images

, you'll see the filename and it will have the full patch information. Without doing some more testing, that's all I have for you right now.

Hmm - my switch shows the full string and the release on a "show ver"
Image : ExtremeXOS version 16.1.3.6 16.1.3.6-patch1-11 by release-manager
Image : ExtremeXOS version 22.3.1.4 22.3.1.4-patch1-4 by release-manager

I actually like that the patch version is broken out like "-patch1-8". Makes it easier to parse visually, imo. Release 16.1.3, version 6, patch 1-11 (or that's at least how I read it until I followed the link above) Way easier than Intel chip numbers, and shorter than OIDs 😉
