2. Copy the new IronWare image from the TFTP server or a flash card in slot 1 or 2 to all interface modules or an interface module in a specified chassis slot. To perform this step, enter one of the following commands at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI (example: BigIron RX#): • copy tftp lp primary | secondary all • copy tftp lp primary | secondary • copy slot1 | slot2 lp primary | secondary all • copy slot1 | slot2 lp primary | secondary For example, to copy the interface module's IronWare image from TFTP server 10.10.12.12, enter BigIron RX#copy tftp lp 10.10.12.12 rlp02702a.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, see 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. Upgrading MBRIDGE FPGA on the management module BigIron RX management modules contain an upgradable FPGA images called MBRIDGE and SBRIDGE. The MBRIDGE and SBRIDGE image installed must be compatible with the software version you are running on the BigIron RX.

2.
Copy the new IronWare image from the TFTP server or a flash card in slot 1 or 2 to all interface
modules or an interface module in a specified chassis slot. To perform this step, enter one of the
following commands at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI (example: BigIron RX#):
copy tftp lp
<TFTP-server-ip-addr> <image-name>
primary | secondary all
copy tftp lp
<TFTP-server-ip-addr> <image-name>
primary | secondary
<chassis-slot-
number>
copy slot1 | slot2 lp
<image-name>
primary | secondary all
copy slot1 | slot2 lp
<image-name>
primary
| secondary
<chassis-slot-number>
For example, to copy the interface module’s IronWare image from TFTP server 10.10.12.12,
enter
BigIron RX#copy tftp lp 10.10.12.12 rlp02702a.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, see 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.
Upgrading MBRIDGE FPGA on the management module
BigIron RX management modules contain an upgradable FPGA images called MBRIDGE and
SBRIDGE. The MBRIDGE and SBRIDGE image installed must be compatible with the software version
you are running on the BigIron RX.
The following table describes the MBRIDGE FPGA versions required for the 02.7.02a versions.
