Upgrading the Boot Code
To upgrade the boot code on a management module, use the same methods as for any other management
module.
USING THE CLI
To upgrade MP boot code from a TFTP server, enter a command such as the following:
BigIron# copy tftp flash 192.168.1.170 M2B07108.bin boot
Syntax: copy tftp flash <ip-addr> <image-file-name> boot
USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE
You cannot perform this procedure using the Web management interface.
Upgrading the Flash Code
To upgrade the flash code on a management module, use either of the following procedures.
USING THE CLI
To initiate transfers of software images to and from a TFTP server from the CLI, enter one of the following
commands from the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI:
• copy flash tftp <tftp-ip-addr> <filename> primary | secondary – Use this command to upload a copy of the
software image to a TFTP server.
• copy tftp flash <tftp-ip-addr> <filename> primary | secondary – Use this command to download a copy of
the software image from a TFTP server into the device’s flash.
For example, to upgrade the flash code from a TFTP server, enter a command such as the following:
BigIron# copy tftp flash 192.168.1.170 B2R07100.bin primary
This command copies flash code from a TFTP server into the primary flash memory area of the management
module. When you reload the software, the device will boot using the new code.
Syntax: copy tftp flash <ip-addr> <image-file-name> primary | secondary
To copy flash code from one flash memory are to the other, enter a command such as the following:
BigIron# copy flash flash secondary
This command copies the flash code in the primary flash memory area to the secondary flash memory area for the
module.
Syntax: copy flash flash primary | secondary
The primary parameter copies the image in the secondary flash area to the primary flash area.
The secondary parameter copies the image in the primary flash area to the secondary flash area.
