MLXe chassis showing as MLX (( Netiron ))

[VPLS]

Hello , 

I have a strange problem ,  MLXe 4 chassis think it’s MLX Chassis, 

I tried upgrading it to different version with no avail , 

telnet@SE-LAB#sh version
System Mode: MLX
Chassis: NetIron 4-slot (Serial #: *******,  Part #: *******)
NI-X-HSF Switch Fabric Module 1 (Serial #: ******,  Part #: ****)

any way I can fix this identity crisis ?

No  Iam not talking about the chassis mode , 

Iam talking about the chassis line it reads Netiron , 

[joergkost]

Oh, do you mean the line with “System Mode: MLX”?

That is normal, when the system boots up with older linecards and management boards. If you run e.g. the -X line- and management cards only, it will print out “Sysetm Mode: XMR”.

Can you still send the output of show chassis ?

I am more concerned about the chassis line from the version command, it shall read MLXE-4 even in MLX mode. Can you pm me the serial # of the chassis?

[VPLS]

Yea Iam very sure  , it is hard printed  on the chassis MLXe and it was working as MLXe before but now it reads MLX 

the current version is 5.7e

[joergkost]

Are you very sure, that this is a MLXe? Is there a  red Brocade logo and a written “Brocade”-label or a white “Extreme”-label  and a big white MLXe-4 label on the front?

What is the output of the show chassis command? It shall print out 

*** MLXe 4-slot Chassis ***

Also which OS version are you running?
