Provides CLI commands to determine which software image is running on the access point and check the operating mode.

The access point OS supports two different software images: Catalyst Wi-Fi (AP) and UIW. Use CLI commands to determine which software is running and verify the operating mode.

Use the show version command to determine which software is running and look for the indicated platform code:

Device# show version
Cisco AP Software, (ap1g6j), C9167, RELEASE SOFTWARE

APFC58. 9A16.E464 uptime is 1 days, 3 hours, 58 minutes
Last reload time : Wed Sep 7 11:17:00 UTC 2022

If the show version command displays ap1g6a or ap1g6b , it means that the access point OS is running. If the show version displays ap1g6j or ap1g6m , it means the UIW software is running.

To check if the access point is running in URWB mode, use this CLI command:

Device#show iw-service status

If the command exists, then the access point is running in URWB mode, otherwise the access point is running in WGB mode.
