NOTE
In practice, the TFTP server is also used as the terminal server to see the CLI output.
1. Connect a console cable from the console port to the terminal server.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from the management port (port located under the console port on the
device) to the TFTP server.
3. On the TFTP server, assign an IP address to the connected NIC; for example, 10.10.10.1 mask
255.255.255.0.
4. Reboot the device, and go to the boot monitor mode by pressing "b "; for example:
BOOT INFO: RESET ACTIVE
master arbitrate : become primary arbitrator.
BOOT INFO: Become active CPU module
M2 BI Boot Code Version 07.06.05
Enter 'b' to go to boot monitor ...
BOOT MONITOR>
5. Set a temporary IP address from the same subnet as the TFTP server NIC for the device
management port using the ip address command; for example:
BOOT MONITOR> ip address 10.10.10.2/24
BOOT INFO: set ip addr to 10.10.10.2, ip mask to 255.255.255.000
6. Test the connectivity from the device to the TFTP server using the ping command to ensure a
working connection; for example:
BOOT MONITOR> ping 10.10.10.1
Reply from 10.10.10.1 : bytes=100 time=1ms TTL=64
7. Enter the following command to boot from the image on a TFTP server that hosts a valid software
image:
boot system tftp ip-address image-file-name
For example:
Brocade # boot system tftp 192.168.1.200 FCXR08000.bin
You will get an output similar to the following:
BOOT MONITOR>
BOOT MONITOR> boot system tftp 192.168.1.200 FCXR08000.bin
BOOT INFO: try to boot thru tftp 192.168.001.200, FCXR08000.bin
BOOT INFO: tftp copy successful!
BOOT INFO: bootparam at 27ffffe0, mp_flash_size = 002d022b
BOOT INFO: code decompression completed
BOOT INFO: start with hardware reset
BOOT INFO: branch to 20000104
