2. Specify main
or backup
startup images
for the standby
MPU.
• Method 1:
boot-loader file ipe-filename slot
slot-number { backup | main }
• Method 2:
boot-loader file boot
boot-package system
system-package [ feature
feature-package&<1-30> ] slot
slot-number { backup | main }
• Method 3:
boot-loader update slot
slot-number
• Method 4: See "Enabling software
synchronization from the active
MPU to the standby MPU at
startup."
When you use method 3, make sure you
understand the following requirements and
upgrade results:
• If the active MPU started up with main
startup images, its main startup images are
synchronized to the standby MPU,
regardless of whether any change has
occurred to this set of startup images.
• If the active MPU started up with backup
startup images, its backup startup images
are synchronized to the standby MPU,
regardless of whether any change has
occurred to this set of startup images.
• Startup image synchronization will fail if
any software image being synchronized is
corrupted or not available.
3. Save the
running
configuration.
save
This step makes sure any configuration you
have made can survive a reboot.
4. Reboot the
device.
reboot
At startup, the MPUs read the preloaded Boot
ROM image to RAM, load the startup images in
the file, and set the images as both current
software images and startup software images.
5. (Optional.)
Verify the
software
image
settings.

Verify that the current software images are the
same as the startup software images.
Enabling software synchronization from the active
MPU to the standby MPU at startup
The following matrix shows the feature and chassis compatibility:

Software synchronization
from the active MPU to the
standby MPU.
No No Yes
When the standby MPU starts up, this feature examines its startup software images for version
inconsistency with the current software images on the active MPU. If the software versions are different,
the standby MPU copies the current software images of the active MPU, specifies them as startup
software images, and reboots with these images.
