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-congure its boot variables. By default, you log in to a C9010
console port, which is identied 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 congure an RPM to boot from a system image stored on a network server, all C9010 components are automatically congured
to boot from the RPM CP image. This automatic boot conguration ensures that all components run the same image as the RPM CP.
To congure 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.
Conguring C9010 Components to Boot from the RPM CP
Image
By reconguring 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 congure 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.
