Logging in to the Virtual Console of a C9010 Component
You must log in to the virtual console of a C9010 component in order to re-congure its boot variables. By default, you log in to a C9010
console port, which is identied as RPM0 CP or RPM1 CP.
• To log in to the RPM RP: Hold down the Ctrl key and type geo. Then release the Ctrl key and type r.
• To log in to the RPM LP: Hold down the Ctrl key and type geo. Then release the Ctrl key and type l.
• To log in to a line-card processor: Hold down the Ctrl key and type geo. Then release the Ctrl key and type the line-card slot number 0
to 9.
• When you nish, log back in to the RPM CP: Hold down the Ctrl key and type geo. Then release the Ctrl key and type x.
Booting the C9010 from an Image on a Network Server
If you can congure an RPM to boot from a system image stored on a network server, all C9010 components are automatically congured
to boot from the RPM CP image. This automatic boot conguration ensures that all components run the same image as the RPM CP.
To congure the RPM CP to boot from an image on a network server, use the boot system command:
boot system {rpm0 | rpm1} {default | primary |secondary [ftp://filepath | system: {A: | B:} |
tftp://filepath]}
Where:
• The FTP le path is ftp://userid:password@host-ip-addr/filepath.
• The TFTP le path is tftp://host-ip-addr/filepath.
Conguring C9010 Components to Boot from the RPM CP
Image
By reconguring boot variables and resetting a component, you should be able to resolve most issues resulting from mismatched system
images.
To display the boot variables for a C9010 component that you need to congure so that a component boots with the RPM CP image, enter
the show bootvar command at the BOOT_USER# prompt.
The following examples display boot variables and C9010 internal IP addresses for the RPM0 route processor, RPM0 line-card processor,
and line card installed in slot 3.
