[f-nsp] NI-MLX-10Gx8-D falls to CARD_STATE_INTERACTIVE mode

[Jeroen Wunnink | Atrato IP Networks]

Your application image doesn't match then most likely.

Somehow the linecard doesn't recognize the difference between some 5300x 
and 5400x application images, so it doesn't do an automatic lp sync on 
boot. Also attempting a manual lp sync doesn't see a problem.

Boot the card in interactive/monitor mode ('rcon lp 3' from console to 
get into the linecard shell and hit the b when it says so) and then make 
sure you upgrade the lp monitor, boot, application, xpp, sp2 and xgmac 
images from the generic commandline in your XMR. Then powercycle the 
linecard with a power-off and power-on and and it should work.
