The lp-no-bootparameter specifies that you do not want to download the interface module boot image.

The lp-secparameter specifies that interface image be copied to the secondary location in flash.

The mp-no-bootparameter specifies that you do not want to download the management module boot image.

The mp-secparameter specifies that management image be copied to the secondary location in flash.

The no-mbridgeparameter tells the BigIron RX not to copy the MBRIDGE image.

2.Reboot the management module using the reload command. (Refer to “Rebooting the management module” on page 139.)

3.If you are using SSH v2, you must clear the crypto key using the crypto key zeroize command after you upgrade to Release 02.2.01. Then, regenerate a new crypto key using the crypto key generate command.

Upgrading images independently

Using the unified image upgrade is the preferred method for upgrading images, since it is an easier, one single step process. However, if you do not want to use the unified image upgrade method, you can upgrade your module boot, monitor, and system images separately.

Upgrading software releases prior to release 02.2.01

If your BigIron RX is running a release prior to Release 02.2.01, you must upgrade the management module and interface module images separately. Follow the steps given below for this upgrade.

1.Upgrade the monitor and boot images on the management and interface modules. See the following sections:

“Upgrading the management module monitor and boot images” on page 136

“Upgrading the IronWare image on a management module” on page 137

“Upgrading the monitor and boot images on interface modules” on page 137

“Upgrading the interface module’s IronWare image” on page 138

2.Upgrade the MBRIDGE FPGA. Refer to “Upgrading the MBRIDGE FPGA on the management module” on page 140.

3.Reboot the management module. Refer to “Rebooting the management module” on page 139.

4.If you are using SSH v2, clear and regenerate a new crypto key.
