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 <slot-number> parameter specifies the BigIron RX Series slot number that contains the
interface module to which the immediate synchronization applies. You can specify 1 – 16.

Disabling or re-enabling an automatic check and synchronization

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 disable-lp-sync-check
Syntax: lp disable-lp-sync-check
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 re-enable the automatic check and synchronization of the IronWare images during bootup, enter
the following command at the global CONFIG level:
BigIron RX(config)# no lp disable-lp-sync-check
Syntax: no lp disable-lp-sync-check
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.
