Identifying the NFM-P software release and patch level
Overview
You can include the <version xmlns="xmlapi_1.0"/> element within the body of your XML request to determine the software load installed on the NFM-P. The NFM-P returns the software load information in an XML response that has the following format:
NFM-P Version <version>.<major.minor>.<build_number>.<patch_number>The NFM-P does not return patch information in the XML response if there are no issued patches for the software.
