Booting the Switch
ARX-500 Hardware Installation Guide 3 - 9
If the failed switch was a member of a RON, you can enter the show ron
command from any other RON member. The output from this command
shows the UUID even if the chassis is no longer online.
In the following example, the show ron command (run on another switch in
the RON) shows the UUID for a failed chassis, provA . Again, the UUID is
bolded.

Applying the UUID
As shown in the preceding example, the initial-boot script has a prompt for
the UUID. Enter the UUID of the replaced switch at this prompt as in the
following example.
...
11.
Enter the switch's UUID
in the format
xxxxxxxx ‐ xxxx ‐ xxxx ‐ xxxx ‐ xxxxxxxxxxxx.(default=d7270d56 ‐ 9e39 ‐ 11d8 ‐ 83e1
‐ a21e0cbcc384) # db922942 ‐ 876f ‐ 11d8 ‐ 9110 ‐ 8dtu78fc8329
...
Important
No two running chassis should ever share the same UUID. Enter the UUID
only in a switch-replacement scenario.
