Illumio Core Administration Guide 24.2.20 and 24.2.10

About This Guide

The following sections provide useful information to help you get the most out of this guide.

CLI Tool Versioning

Illumio Core CLI Tool version 1.4.2 is compatible with Illumio Core PCE versions:

PCE 19.3.6-H2 (LTS)

PCE 21.2.4 (LTS)

PCE 21.5.20 (LTS)

PCE 22.1.1 (Standard)

PCE 22.2.0 (Standard)

The CLI Tool version numbering is independent of PCE and VEN's release and version numbering. The CLI Tool works with multiple versions of the PCE and the VEN and does not necessarily need software changes in parallel with releases of the PCE or the VEN.
