3.
Verify that the new images were successfully copied to code flash by entering the following command at the
Privileged EXEC level of the CLI:
•
show flash
Check for the monitor image, boot image, and the date and time at which the new images were built.
4.
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.
Upgrading the Interface Module’s IronWare Image
To upgrade the IronWare image (primary or secondary) on all interface modules or an interface module in a
specified chassis slot, you must perform the following steps:
1.
Place the new IronWare image on a TFTP server to which the router has access or on a PCMCIA flash card
inserted in slot 1 or 2.
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: NetIron
#
):
•
copy tftp lp
<ip-addr> <image-name>
primary | secondary all
•
copy tftp lp
<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 information about the image name to specify, see Table 7.1.
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” on
page 7-26.
3.
Verify that the new IronWare image has been successfully copied by entering the following command at any
level of the CLI:
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” on page 7-26.
Upgrading the Management and Interface Module IronWare Images Together
Beginning with release 03.5.00 of the Multi-Service IronWare software, you can download a single
xm
<xxxxx> file
that contains the
xmr
<xxxxx> and
xmlp
<xxxxx> files for both the Management and Interface modules using the
copy tftp
image command.
The combined image never upgrades an FPGA. If an FPGA upgrade is required for a release, you must use the
copy tftp lp
command to download the new FPGA image to the interface module as described for earlier
releases.
