Displaying Version Information
Use the show version command to display version information for all installed operating system
packages, signature packages, and IPS processes running on the system. To view the configuration for
the entire system, use the more current-config command.
Note The CLI output is an example of what your configuration may look like. It will not match exactly due to
the optional setup choices, sensor model, and IPS 7.1 version you have installed.
Note For the IPS 4500 series sensors, the show version command output contains an extra application called
the SwitchApp.
To display the version and configuration, follow these steps:
Step 1 Log in to the CLI.
