[c-nsp] 6500 Rommon version

[Brad Gould]

Hi all,

I'm going to upgrade a 6500 next week, and going through the list I've 
seen a couple of great posts by Charles Spurgeon about his issues with 
ROMMON.

So - how do I determine the ROMMON version of a 6500 when its in production?

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/hw/routers/ps368/prod_release_note09186a00801fc897.html
... tells me all I need to know about upgrading it, it just doesnt tell 
me how to find out what I'm running without reloading the router and 
going into ROMMON.

Digging I've found:

cor3.adl2#sh module
....
Mod MAC addresses                       Hw    Fw           Sw 
Status
--- ---------------------------------- ------ ------------ ------------

   1  0013.c38c.47cc to 0013.c38c.47e3   2.3   12.2(14r)S5  12.2(18)SXF4 Ok
   5  000d.2910.3f3c to 000d.2910.3f3f   4.1   8.4(2)       12.2(18)SXF4 Ok
   7  0013.c473.2590 to 0013.c473.25bf   2.3   12.2(14r)S5  12.2(18)SXF4 Ok

Suggests that the card in slot 5 (the Sup720-3BXL) has a FW revision of 
8.4(2) - which makes sense, and seems to be the ROMMON version, but I'd 
like to see someone confirm it.

Thanks

Brad
