To Determine the Current Software Version in Your Switch. Use any of the following methods to
view the software version:
■ Start a console session with the switch. In the console login screen (the first screen displayed), the
Firmware revision line under the switch name shows the software version.
■ If you already have a console session going, at the prompt enter the show version command. The
resulting display lists the current software version.
■ In the web browser interface, click on the Identity tab. The current software version is listed as the
revision number in the Version line.

installed on your switch. If the software version does not match or is W.14.10 or later, please follow
the below procedure to upgrade the switch.
