Description

Display the hostname and version information about the software running on the device.

The show version command output includes the Junos field, which displays the Junos OS version, including any selective upgrade (JSU) packages, running on the device. This field provides a consistent means of identifying the Junos OS version, rather than extracting that information from the list of installed sub-packages.

Starting in Junos OS Release 24.4R1, the show version command output includes the Family field. This field identifies the device family under which the device is categorized, for example, junos, junos-es, junos-ex, or junos-qfx.
