The chassisshow command can also be run on the console or from within a supportshow. The output gives you the model almost in clear text.
Example:
A 200E switch returns the following:
Part Num: SLKWRM0000200
A Brocade 5000 returns the following:
Part Num: SLKWRM0000500
A Brocade 5100 gives you Part Num:
SLKWRM0000510
A Brocade 4100 gives you Part Num:
SLKWRM0000410
and so on.
