[c-nsp] any way to identify DFC on my 6500 linecards?

[David Sinn]

The output of a show module will tell you what module you have on  
each line card:

Mod Sub-Module                  Model              Serial         
Hw     Status
--- --------------------------- ------------------ ------------  
------- -------
   1 Distributed Forwarding Card WS-F6700-DFC3A     -----------    
2.0    Ok
   2 Distributed Forwarding Card WS-F6700-DFC3A     -----------    
2.0    Ok
   3 Distributed Forwarding Card WS-F6700-DFC3A     -----------    
2.0    Ok
   5 Policy Feature Card 3       WS-F6K-PFC3BXL     -----------    
1.3    Ok
   5 MSFC3 Daughterboard         WS-SUP720          -----------    
2.1    Ok

So the above box has a Sup720 with PFC3BXL, but the LC's have DFC3A's...

Mod Sub-Module                  Model              Serial         
Hw     Status
--- --------------------------- ------------------ ------------  
------- -------
   1 Distributed Forwarding Card WS-F6700-DFC3B     -----------    
2.0    Ok
   5 Policy Feature Card 3       WS-F6K-PFC3B       -----------    
2.0    Ok
   5 MSFC3 Daughterboard         WS-SUP720          -----------    
2.3    Ok
   8 Distributed Forwarding Card WS-F6700-DFC3B     -----------    
2.0    Ok

Things are a bit better on this box... ;)
