Unified software image upgrade to upgrade release 02.2.01 to 02.5.00

BigIron RX software release 02.2.01 to 02.5.00 can be upgraded using the Unified Software Image Upgrade procedure. This new procedure removes the need to copy multiple images in separate steps. In addition, you can set parameters to limit the images being copied and to direct images to be copied to the secondary image location to a later release by doing the following.

1. Copy the unified software image (rx02700.bin) from a TFTP server to the switch.

For example, to copy the entire unified software image from a TFTP server at IP address 10.10.12.12, use the following command.

BigIron RX# copy tftp image 10.10.12.12 rx02500.bin

Syntax: copy tftp image <TFTP-server-ip-addr><image-name>[lp-no-boot lp-sec mp-no-boot mp-sec no-mbridge]

The <TFTP-server-ip-addr> variable is the IP address for the TFTP server you are downloading the image from.

The <image-name> variable is the name of the unified software image you want to download to the switch. Image names are assigned as follows:
