The <image-name> variable is the name of the unified software image you want to download
to the switch. Image names are assigned as follows:
The lp-boot parameter specifies that you want to download the new interface module boot
image.
The lp-sec parameter specifies that interface image be copied to the secondary location in
flash.
The mbridge parameter tells the BigIron RX to copy the MBRIDGE image. It will now include
two MBRIDGES; one for BigIron RX-16/8/4 (mbridge21.xsvf) and one for the BigIron
RX-32(mbridge32.xsvf).
The mp-boot parameter specifies that you want to download the new management module
boot image. The mp-sec parameter specifies that management image be copied to the
secondary location in flash.
2. Reboot the management module using the reload command. (Refer to “Rebooting the
management module” on page 183.)
3. If you are using SSH v2, you must clear the crypto key using the crypto key zeroize command
after you upgrade. Then, regenerate a new crypto key using the crypto key generate command.
Unified software image upgrade to upgrade release 02.2.01 to 02.5.00
BigIron RX software release 02.2.01 to 02.5.00 can be upgraded using the Unified Software Image
Upgrade procedure. This new procedure removes the need to copy multiple images in separate
steps. In addition, you can set parameters to limit the images being copied and to direct images to
be copied to the secondary image location to a later release by doing the following.
1. Copy the unified software image (rx02700.bin) from a TFTP server to the switch.
For example, to copy the entire unified software image from a TFTP server at IP address
10.10.12.12, use the following command.
BigIron RX#copy tftp image 10.10.12.12 rx02500.bin
Syntax: copy tftp image <TFTP-server-ip-addr> <image-name> [lp-no-boot | lp-sec mp-no-boot
| mp-sec | no-mbridge]
The <TFTP-server-ip-addr> variable is the IP address for the TFTP server you are downloading
the image from.
The <image-name> variable is the name of the unified software image you want to download
to the switch. Image names are assigned as follows:
The lp-no-boot parameter specifies that you do not want to download the interface module
boot image.
