Starting in Junos OS Evolved Release 19.1R1, on PTX10003-80C and PTX10003-160C routers, the show system firmware command displays information based on the accessibility of the device and not the FRU state. The firmware information is cached in the FRU online state if the device is accessible. This cached information is displayed even when the FRU is in error or offline condition.

show system firmware (SRX1600, SRX2300, and SRX4300)

Starting in Junos OS Release 23.4R1, the show system firmware command is supported on SRX1600, SRX2300 and SRX4300 devices.
