Upgrading the BigIron RX Series software
7
Overview of tasks in the FPGA image upgrade process
Follow the steps given below to upgrade the MBRIDGE FPGA image on a BigIron RX Series
management module.
1. Determine the versions of the images currently installed on the BigIron RX Series management
module.
For information about performing this task, refer to “Determining the MBRIDGE image
versions” on page 184.
2. Copy the new image from a source to a destination.
The source from which to copy the new image is usually a TFTP server to which the BigIron RX
Series system has access or a flash card in the management module’s slot 1 or 2. The
destination to which to copy the new image is all or one specified interface module.
For information about performing this task, refer to “Upgrading the MBRIDGE FPGA image” on
page 185.
3. Reboot the interface module upon which you upgraded the MBRIDGE images.
Determining the MBRIDGE image versions
To display the versions of the MBRIDGE images currently installed on the Gigabit Ethernet modules,
enter the show version command at any level of the CLI:
BigIron RX>show version
