Usage Guidelines
This command displays information about the Cisco IOS software version currently running on a device, the ROM Monitor and
Bootflash software versions, and information about the hardware configuration, including the amount of system memory. Because
this command displays both software and hardware information, the output of this command is the same as the output of the
show
hardware command. (The show
hardware command is a command alias for the show
version command.)
Specifically, the show
version command provides the following information:
-
Software information
- Main Cisco IOS image version
- Main Cisco IOS image capabilities (feature set)
- Location and name of bootfile in ROM
- Bootflash image version (depending on platform)
-
Device-specific information
- Device name
- System uptime
- System reload reason
- Config-register setting
- Config-register settings for after the next reload (depending on platform)
-
Hardware information
- Platform type
- Processor type
- Processor hardware revision
- Amount of main (processor) memory installed
- Amount I/O memory installed
- Amount of Flash memory installed on different types (depending on platform)
- Processor board ID
The output of this command uses the following format:

See the Examples section for descriptions of the fields in this output.
Entering show version displays the IOS XE software version and the IOS XE software bundle which includes a set of individual packages that comprise
the complete set of software that runs on the switch.
The show version running command displays the list of individual packages that are currently running on the switch. When booted in installed mode,
this is typically the set of packages listed in the booted provisioning file. When booted in bundle mode, this is typically
the set of packages contained in the bundle.
The show version provisioned command displays information about the provisioned package set.
Examples
The following is sample output from the show version command on a Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switch:
