• If you want to retain the IronWare images in the interface module’s code flash, enter the lp
cont-boot no-sync <slot-number> command at the Privileged EXEC prompt.
After the management module finishes booting, do the following:
• Enter the show module command at any CLI level, and verify that the status of all interface
modules is CARD_STATE_UP.
• Enter the show version command at any CLI level, and verify that all management and
interface modules are running the new software image version.
If you find that an interface module is in a waiting state or is running an older software image, then
you may have forgotten to enter the lp cont-boot sync <slot-number> command at the Privileged
EXEC prompt.
Upgrading the MBRIDGE FPGA on the management
module
BigIron RX Series management modules contain an upgradable FPGA image called MBRIDGE.
The MBRIDGE image installed must be compatible with the software version you are running on the
BigIron RX Series. Refer to the Software Release Notes for compatibility information.
NOTE
You will not need to upgrade the MBRIDGE FPGA image with every Multi-Service software upgrade.
Only upgrade this image if specified in the release notes.
Overview of tasks in the FPGA image upgrade process
Follow the steps given below to upgrade the MBRIDGE FPGA image on a BigIron RX Series
management module.
1. Determine the versions of the images currently installed on the BigIron RX Series management
module.
For information about performing this task, refer to “Determining the MBRIDGE image
versions” on page 140.
2. Copy the new image from a source to a destination.
The source from which to copy the new image is usually a TFTP server to which the BigIron RX
Series system has access or a flash card in the management module’s slot 1 or 2. The
destination to which to copy the new image is all or one specified interface module.
For information about performing this task, refer to “Upgrading the MBRIDGE FPGA image” on
page 141.
3. Reboot the interface module upon which you upgraded the MBRIDGE images.
Determining the MBRIDGE image versions
To display the versions of the MBRIDGE images currently installed on the Gigabit Ethernet modules,
enter the show version command at any level of the CLI:
BigIron RX> show version
