Query HW version from cmd or GUI

Hi All,

 

 

Just wondering if you could suggest something to remotely query the hardware version of the F5 via either the GUI or the command line.

 

I tried tmsh on v11, the GUI and SNMP, but found no trace of any HW version output.

 

 

Thank you!

 

 

George

  • Hi Hamish,

     

     

    Thank you for your help.

     

    Is the output from a v11 host? The command is working ok on a v10 server, but looks different on v11:

     

     

    (tmos) sh sys vers

     

     

    Sys::Version

     

    Main Package

    On v10 however I have the following:
