Software image naming conventions 6

FPGA image

The FPGA image is named "MBRIDGE" and serves as the interface between the management module and the backplane. It is loaded on the management module only.

Startup configuration file

The Startup configuration file contains a default configuration that is loaded at the factory and appended with commands for the user. It is loaded on the management module only.

Software image naming conventions

This section describes the alpha-numeric scheme used to define the names of the image files used to operate a BigIron RX Series switch. Figure 48 illustrates the structure of the image names and the paragraphs that follow describe what each of the fields in the image name represents.

r = router (only used for IronWare Image) b = boot, p = Ironware

m = management, l = line card module

RX Series Software

To identify the software image, the naming conventions encode a specific meaning for each of the variables in the following syntax:

R indicates the software image is used on BigIron RX Series switches. A indicates the module type:

•If the value of A is m, the image supports a management module.

•If the value of A is l, the image supports an interface module.

B indicates the software type:

•If the value of B is r, the image contains management IronWare application software.

•If the value of B is p, the image contains interface IronWare application software.

•If the value of B is b, the image contains Boot-Monitor system software.

C is only used with IronWare management Images. it indicates:

•If the value of C is r, the image contains IronWare management application software.
