2.Copy the new monitor and boot images to the BigIron RX. Enter one of the following commands at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI (example: BigIron RX#):
TABLE 27 Command syntax for upgrading the monitor and boot images on the interface module

interface modules or to the specified interface module | |
|

Copies the latest monitor and boot images from the TFTP server to all interface modules or to the specified interface module
For information about the image name to specify, refer to Table 22.
3.Verify that the new images were successfully copied to code flash by entering the following command at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI:
BigIron RX# show flash
Check for the monitor image, boot image, and the date and time at which the new images were built.
