Upgrading the MBRIDGE FPGA image

Follow the steps given below to upgrade one or more MBRIDGE FPGA images on a BigIron RX Series management module.

1.Place the new MBRIDGE FPGA image on a TFTP server to which the BigIron RX Series system has access or on a PCMCIA flash card inserted in slot 1 or 2.

2.Copy the MBRIDGE FPGA image from the TFTP server or a flash card in slot 1 or 2 to all management modules or a management module in a specified chassis slot. To perform this step, enter one of the following commands at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI (example: BigIron RX#):

copy tftp mbridge <ip-addr><image-name>MBRIDGE

copy slot1 slot2 mbridge <image-name>MBRIDGE

3.After the MBRIDGE upgrade is complete, the management module must be power-cycled.

4.Verify that the MBRIDGE images have been successfully copied to the specified interface modules by entering the following command at any level of the CLI:

show version

Check for the MBRIDGE image version numbers in the output.
