RELEASE NAMING CONVENTION
RELEASE NAMING CONVENTION:
Normally, the X-Pedition product family supports two active release lines. The older line is always in maintenance
only mode and receives only maintenance improvements—the newer line receives maintenance improvements
and introduces new features. For a brief time, however, the X-Pedition will support a special third line—E9.0.8.
This line introduces the Security Attack Monitor (SAM) feature on the E9.0 code base. E9.0.8 is a maintenance
only line with end of maintenance scheduled for December 2003.
The new E9.0.8 line does not alter the maintenance only characteristics of the E9.0.7.X releases as no new
features including SAM will be introduced in this line. SAM will be incorporated into the normal development line
in release E9.1.8.0.
E9.0 is the maintenance only line to which only bug fixes are provided. E9.1 is the development line that receives
new features and bug fixes. The figure below illustrates the relationships between these lines. Support for E9.0 as
the maintenance only line and E9.1 as the development line will be extended briefly beyond that shown below to
permit the release of E9.1.8.0.

EOD or “end of development” signifies the point at which no new features will be added to the release line. EOM
or “end of maintenance” signifies the point where bug fixes are no longer applied to the line.
The naming convention is as follows.
E<R1>.<R2>.<D>.<M>
Where:
R1 – Release line digit 1
R2 – Release line digit 2
D – A release during the development period
M – A release during the maintenance-only period

RELEASE NAMING CONVENTION
A release line is defined by the first two digits in the name, e.g. E9.0 and E9.1. The third digit increments with
each release during the development phase of a line. For example, E9.0.7.0 is the seventh development release
for the E9.0 line. The fourth digit is incremented with each release during the maintenance-only period of a
release line. Thus E9.0.7.4 is the fourth maintenance-only release for the E9.0 line.
Should a bug fix be required between regularly scheduled releases, a patch release is provided. Patch releases
are designated with a trailing letter. For example, E9.0.6.0B is the second patch to the sixth development release
of the E9.0 line. E9.0.7.2A is the first patch to the second maintenance-only release of the E9.0 line.

HARDWARE / FIRMWARE COMPATIBILITY
HARDWARE / BOOT FIRMWARE/ SYSTEM FIRMWARE COMPATIBILITY:
The Minimum Boot Firmware Version is a function of:
• The hardware installed in the system (as listed below).
• The version of VFS used. For more information on VFS versions see the “PCMCIA Card VFS Version” sub-
section in the “INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION NOTES” section of the X-Pedition Boot Firmware
Release Notes.
•The need for new features or corrections that are provided in a specific version.
The issue of determining minimum Boot Firmware version can be avoided by installing version E3.2.0.0 (or later)
of the Boot Firmware.
NOTE: In some cases, the Minimum System Firmware Version depends upon the revision of a particular model
number. The revision number appears on the serial number sticker attached to the front of all Enterasys Networks
hardware assemblies. These numbers are interpreted as follows:
AAAA XXXX XXXX XXRR
Two Letter Assembly Revision Number
Four Digit “940” Assembly Number
Example:
3570 0000 0000 000A
This number is broken down as follows:
• Assembly number 9403570 (In this case, the SSR-POS21-04)
• The assembly has a revision number of “0A”
For the two SSR-PCMCIA part numbers listed below, sub-part numbers (e.g., 35-028-02) are also listed. Find the
sub-part number on the SSR-PCMCIA card. Match it with a sub-part number to aid in determining the minimum
System Firmware and Boot Firmware versions.
For detailed information on managing the Boot Firmware, please refer to version E3.2.0.0 (or later) of the
X-Pedition Boot Firmware Release Notes.
