Based on this link, Cisco ACI is actually based on the Cisco Nexus 9000 family.
The hardware for it is based on the Cisco Nexus 9000 family of switches.
https://www.sdxcentral.com/data-center/definitions/what-is-cisco-aci/
But when Cisco Nexus or IOS do have show version command, why don't Cisco ACI have similar command?
I would like to know more about this device, like model number, software version etc.
What is the right command for Cisco ACI? Probably something equivalent to Cisco IOS show version?

Try the below command :
apic1# show firmware repository
apic1# show firmware repository detail
or full information :
apic1# configure
apic1(config)# firmware
apic1(config-firmware)# show version
Role Id Name Version
---------- ---------- ----------------- -----------
controller 1 apic1 1.2(1a)
controller 2 apic2 1.2(1a)
controller 3 apic3 1.2(1a)
leaf 101 leaf1 n9000-11.2(1a)
leaf 102 leaf2 n9000-11.2(1a)
leaf 103 leaf2 n9000-11.2(1a)
spine 201 spine1 n9000-11.2(1a)
spine 202 spine2 n9000-11.2(1a)

Unfortunately, those commands are not working on this ACI
aci# show firmware repository Incorrect command "show firmware repository" aci#
aci# show firmware repository detail
Incorrect command "show firmware repository detail"
aci#
aci# configure bash: configure: command not found

Hi @fc00::/7 ,
You have a conceptual problem. You are TRYING to do stuff with the ACI switches.
STOP thinking this way
ACI is a centralised controller paradigm
You do everything from the controller (APIC) unless you are into specific troublshooting on chips or the like.
Checking the version is something done from the APIC - and as others have told you, the command is (surprise) show version
apic1# show version Role Pod Node Name Version ---------- ---------- ---------- ------------------------ -------------------- controller 1 1 apic1 5.1(3e) spine 1 1101 Spine1101 n9000-15.1(3e) leaf 1 1201 Leaf1201 n9000-15.1(3e) leaf 1 1202 Leaf1202 n9000-15.1(3e)
If you want MORE output, stay with the APIC, and prefix the command with fabric <node-range>

This tells you what code is in the boothflash and thus what version its running.
