Displaying Version Information
You can display version information for a NetIron MLX Series or NetIron MLX Series router using the show version
command. Beginning with version 3.8.00, the show version command is enhanced to display the management
modules or a specified line card, as shown in the following:
NetIron#(config)# show version
HW: NetIron MLX Router
Backplane (Serial #: Not Exist, Part #: Not Exist)
NI-X-SF Switch Fabric Module 1 (Serial #: Not Exist, Part #: Not Exist)
FE 1: Type fe200, Version 2
NI-X-SF Switch Fabric Module 3 (Serial #: PR25050068, Part #: 31548-100A)
FE 1: Type fe200, Version 2
Boot Image
Indicates the boot image installed in the interface module’s boot flash. The
image must be xmlprm <xxxxx>. The output displays the following
information about the image:
•
Version – “3.5.00Txxy” indicates the image version number. The
“Txxy” is used by Foundry for record keeping. The “xx” indicates the
hardware type, while the “y” indicates the image type.
•
Size – The size, in bytes, of the image.
•
Check sum – A unique ID for the image. If the contents of the image
change, the check sum changes also.
•
Compilation date and time – The date and time that Foundry compiled
the image.
FPGA Version Information
The output displays the following information about the field-
programmable gate array (FPGA) images that is stored in Flash for
installation on the interface modules:
•
PBIF image information – The version number of the PBIF image.
This image is installed on both Ethernet and POS Interface modules
but from different image files. The versions installed on Ethernet and
POS Interface modules can differ and should reflect the correct image
for your release as described in the relevant Multi-Service IronWare
release notes.
•
XPP image information – The version number of the XPP image. This
image is installed on both Ethernet and POS Interface modules but
from different image files. The versions installed on Ethernet and POS
Interface modules can differ and should reflect the correct image for
your release as described in the relevant Multi-Service IronWare
release notes.
•
STATS image information – The version number of the STATS image.
This image is only installed on POS Interface modules.
•
XGMAC image information – The version number of the XGMAC
image. This image is only installed on the 10 Gbps interface module.
NOTE:
The FPGA version installed on your module should be the
correct one for the version of Multi-Service IronWare you are running.
Images compatible with each version and Interface module are
described in the relevant Multi-Service IronWare release notes.
