How to find out switch OS version

Hello

Quick question.

I'm investigating the use of ansible with DELL switches N15xx series. I found some documentation online where it is asking you to find the OS version of the switch. Is the OS version the same as the firmware version? My firmware version is 6.7.x.x. Does that mean my OS is 6? 

Many thanks

    Igano,

     

    The only supported OS for the N1500 series is OS6, but if you were wanting to get eyes on that information it is displayed under show tech-support.


    Let me know if this helps.

    @DELL-Marco B​ This is an old post, but it's what i found when searching so I'll go ahead and comment.  
    show tech-support | include version
    doesn't work because include filters by line and the os version output doesn't include the word version

    instead, just use the last line  (or lines if stacking switches) of the output for 
    show version

    Hi Chris, 

    Thank you for your reply. Out of curiosity where exactly does it show that?

    I tried show tech-support | include OS6 but did not output anything.

    Thank you

    Yes I got that but when I include OS6, i don't get any results in the output. Do you get any if you run

    show tech-support | include OS6 or OS9?

    thank you
