The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

This format facilitates identifying the changes between releases when using Bug Search Tool to research software releases.
Software integrity verification
To verify the integrity of the software image you have from Cisco, you can validate the SHA512 checksum information against the checksum identified by Cisco for the software.
Image checksum information is available through Cisco.com Software Download Details. To find the checksum, hover the mouse pointer over the software image you have downloaded.
This is a sample for software integrity verification.

At the bottom, you will find the SHA512 checksum. If you do not see the whole checksum, you can expand
it by pressing "..." at the end.
To validate the information, calculate a SHA512 checksum using the information in Table 1 and verify that
it matches the provided on the software download page.
To calculate a SHA512 checksum on your local desktop, refer to the following table.
