6 Scheduling a system reload
Specifying an immediate synchronization
You can immediately synchronize the IronWare images between the management module and one or all interface modules. For example, to immediately synchronize the IronWare images between the management module and all interface modules, enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level:
BigIron RX# lp sync all
Syntax: lp sync all <slot-number>
The all keyword indicates that the immediate synchronization applies to all interface modules in the BigIron RX Series.
The
Disabling or
By default, the BigIron RX Series checks the IronWare images in the interface module’s flash memory during bootup to ensure it is the same as the IronWare images in the management module’s flash memory. For information about what the system does if the interface module does not currently have a IronWare image or if the image is different from that of the management module,refer to “Synchronizing the interface modules IronWare images during bootup” on
page 153.
To disable the automatic check and synchronization during bootup, enter the following command at the global CONFIG level:
BigIron RX(config)# lp
Syntax: lp
Provided that you save this configuration by entering the write memory command, the system will disable the automatic check and synchronization of the IronWare images starting with the next software reload or system reset and each reload or reset after that.
To
BigIron RX(config)# no lp
Syntax: no lp
Scheduling a system reload
In addition to reloading the BigIron RX Series system manually, you can configure the system to reload itself at a specific time or after a specific amount of time has passed.
NOTE
The scheduled reload feature requires the system clock. You can use a Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) server to set the clock or you can set the device clock manually.
