Managing the interface modules | 4 |
Syntax: no lp
Changing the boot source
By default, the interface modules boot from the primary IronWare image located in the interface modules’ flash memory. If desired, you can change the boot source of one or all interface modules to one of the following sources:
•Management module
-PCMCIA flash card in slot 1 or 2
-Primary or secondary IronWare image in the management module’s flash memory
•Interface module
-Secondary IronWare image in interface module’s flash memory
•TFTP server
You can also specify an interactive boot, which allows you to enter a separate command after the interface module comes up. The command specifies the source from which one or all interface modules should boot.
When changing the boot source for one or all interface modules, you can specify one of the following:
•An immediate boot for one interface module from a specified source.
•An automatic boot for one or all interface modules from a specified source starting with the next software reload or system reset and each reload or reset after that.
The CLI command for specifying an immediate boot for one interface module is the same as that for specifying an automatic boot for one or all modules. The only difference is the CLI level from which you specify the command. You must specify the command for an immediate boot in the Privileged EXEC level and the command for an automatic boot in the global CONFIG level.
The following sections explain how to specify an immediate boot and an automatic boot.
Specifying an immediate boot
You can specify an immediate boot for one interface module from a specified source by entering the lp boot system command in the Privileged EXEC level. The entered command will override the default or configured boot source one time only.
Specifying an immediate boot from the management module’s PCMCIA slots
For example, to specify an immediate boot for the interface module installed in slot 1 from the management module’s PCMCIA slot 1, enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI:
BigIron RX# lp boot system slot1 primary 1
Syntax: lp boot system slot1 slot2 <filename> <slot-number>
The slot1 and slot2 keywords indicate the management module’s PCMCIA slot from which to boot the interface module.
The <filename> parameter specifies the name of the image from which to boot the interface module.
