[c-nsp] Sup7203BXL in 7600 versus 6509

[Todd Graham]

FYI, we were recently told by TAC that 12.2SXF17 on the 6500 is EOL'd and they will not provide support or fix a known bug we have encountered. We were told to upgrade to 12.2SXI3. However, this same train isn't available and we were advised to look at 12.2(33)SRE. Up to this point we had tried to stay on the same 12.2SX versions on both our 6500's and 7600's that both use sup7203bxl's.

Thanks for the input folks... This is indeed 12.2SXF so it looks like I'm
good....

Thanks!
