Brocade Communications Systems S3-1002483-03 Configuring an automatic boot from a Tftp server

4 Managing the interface modules

The all <slot-number> parameter specifies that the automatic boot applies to all interface modules in the BigIron RX Series chassis or to an interface module in the specified chassis slot number only. You can specify 1 – 4 for BigIron RX-4, 1 – 8 for BigIron RX-8 or 1 – 16 for BigIron RX-16.

Configuring an automatic Bbot from the interface module’s flash memory

For example, to configure an automatic boot from the primary IronWare image in the interface module’s flash memory for all interface modules, enter the following command at the global CONFIG level of the CLI:

BigIron RX(config)# lp boot system flash primary all

Syntax: lp boot system flash primary secondary all <slot-number>

The primary and secondary keywords specify the primary or secondary IronWare image in the interface module’s flash memory.

The all <slot-number> parameter specifies that the automatic boot applies to all interface modules in the BigIron RX Series chassis or to an interface module in the specified chassis slot number only. You can specify 1 – 4 for BigIron RX-4, 1 – 8 for BigIron RX-8 or 1 – 16 for BigIron RX-16.

Configuring an automatic boot from a TFTP server

For example, to configure an automatic boot for all interface modules from a TFTP server, enter the following command at the global CONFIG level of the CLI:

BigIron RX(config)# lp boot system tftp 123.123.123.123 primary all

Syntax: lp boot system tftp <ip-address> <filename> all <slot-number>

The <ip-address> parameter specifies the IP address of the TFTP server from which the interface modules will be booted.

The <filename> parameter specifies the name of the image from which to boot the interface modules.

The all <slot-number> parameter specifies that the automatic boot applies to all interface modules in the BigIron RX Series chassis or to an interface module in the specified chassis slot number only. You can specify 1 – 4 for BigIron RX-4, 1 – 8 for BigIron RX-8 or 1 – 16 for BigIron RX-16.

Configuring an automatic interactive boot

For example, to configure an automatic interactive boot for all interface modules, enter the following command at the global CONFIG level of the CLI:

BigIron RX(config)# lp boot system interactive all

Syntax: lp boot system interactive all <slot-number>

The all <slot-number> parameter specifies that the automatic boot applies to all interface modules in the BigIron RX Series chassis or to an interface module in the specified chassis slot number only. You can specify 1 – 4 for BigIron RX-4, 1 – 8 for BigIron RX-8 or 1 – 16 for BigIron RX-16.
