Verify the software inventory
This section provides information about how to verify the level of software components and obtain updates to your software inventory. For information about applying software updates, please refer to the BCM450 Administration and Security Guide
Viewing the inventory of BCM450 software
BCM450 software is organized into software components that you can individually update as required. The version of each software component is tracked so that you can determine the exact software release level of a BCM450 to the component level.
