[f-nsp] NI-XMR-MR Management Module - Firmware

Sun May 3 09:26:45 EDT 2020

Hey James,

That's correct, Gen1 cards like the NI-XMR-10Gx4 or the NI-XMR-1Gx20-SFP are not supported beyond the 5600 firmware train. Gen1.1 cards like the BR-MLX-10Gx4-X or the BR-MLX-1GFX24-X and newer should upgrade past the 5600 firmware train just fine.

Since nowadays none of the aforementioned cards can hold a full IPv4 -and- IPv6 DFZ table at the same time it should be dirt cheap to pick up some refurbished cards from your vendor of choice to upgrade to the firmware you want. Realistically though, you are probably able to earn back your investment for a newer 1RU sized device on power consumption savings alone..

Best regards,
Martijn

I have some MLXe devices (1st gen) which were from what I can tell just a XMR with a new label from brocade called a MLXe

I was able to boot up 6.3c firmware but it didn’t let me configure anything saying firmware needs to be downgraded to below 5.8 ie 5.6

Kindest Regards
