Why do the software version numbers that the show module command output displays from the Supervisor Engine command-line interface (CLI) and the version numbers that Software Management uses fail to match in some cases?
A. ATM module software for Cisco Catalyst devices uses Cisco IOS Software code as a basis. The software release for Truckee ATM modules as well as ATM software releases 3.2(7) and later use the Cisco IOS Software version-number scheme. Software Management does not recognize the Cisco IOS Software version-number scheme for Catalyst ATM software images. Use the simple version-number scheme that appears in the table in this document. (See the Version to Input in Software Management column.) Output of the show module command of the Supervisor Engine CLI and the show command on the ATM module can display different versions. If the software that runs on the Supervisor Engine is earlier than 4.1, the Supervisor Engine software does not recognize the Cisco IOS Software version-number scheme of ATM images. Therefore, the Supervisor Engine displays a different version number than the output of the show version command on the ATM module.
