Table 9: Command syntax for upgrading IronWare image on the interface module
Command syntax Description
copy tftp lp <TFTP-server-ip-addr> <image-name>
primary | secondary all
Copies the images from the TFTP server to the interface
module.
copy tftp lp <TFTP-server-ip-addr> <image-name>
primary | secondary <chassis-slot-number>
Copies the images from the TFTP server to the interface
module in the specified chassis slot.
copy slot1 | slot2 lp <image-name> primary |
secondary all
Copies the images from a flash card to the interface module.
copy slot1 | slot2 lp <image-name> primary |
secondary <chassis-slot-number>
Copies the images from a flash card to the interface module
in the specified chassis slot.
For example, to copy IronWare image from TFTP server 10.10.12.12 to the interface module, enter
BigIron RX# copy tftp lp 10.10.12.12 rlp02800a.bin primary all
NOTE: If you copy the new IronWare image to all interface modules using the all keyword, the
management module makes a copy of the image (called lp-primary-0 or lp-secondary-0) and stores it
in its code flash, thereby synchronizing the new IronWare image on both the interface and
management modules.
If you copy the new IronWare image to a specified chassis slot, the management module does not
make a copy of the image or store it. In this case, the new IronWare image on the interface module is
unsynchronized or different from the IronWare image on the management module.
For more information about synchronizing the new IronWare image or retaining unsynchronized
versions of the IronWare image on the interface and management modules, refer to the section
Rebooting the management module.
3. Verify that the new IronWare image has been successfully copied by entering the following command
at any level of the CLI:
BigIron RX# show flash
Check for the IronWare image and the date and time at which the image was built.
If you want to upgrade other software images, go to the appropriate upgrade section for information. If
you have completed upgrading the software images, you must reboot the management module to
complete the upgrade process. For more information, see Rebooting the management module.
