Configuring Node-Level Parameters

Except for adding a user and creating a password, all the tasks described in this section can be
performed through the CiscoView application. For descriptions of the commands you enter at the
CLI, see the Cisco MGX 8850 Wide Area Edge Switch Command Reference. A representation of the
feeder application of the MGX 8850 switch appears in Figure 5-1. A representation of the
stand-alone application of the switch appears in Figure 5-2.
Quit the tftp application, then go to the ASCII terminal connected to the control port:
>quit
At the ASCII terminal, cd to FW directory on the hard drive.
List the contents to confirm that the firmware resides in the FW directory:
>cd "c:/FW"
>ll
Note these required quote marks are absent when you use the CLI after you reboot the
PXM with its runtime image (see "Configuring Node-Level Parameters").
Enter the following:
>setPXMPrimary "version"
where version is the version number of the firmware. The name of a PXM firmware file
has the format pxm_version.fw. For example: in PXM_1.0.03.fw, version is 1.0.03.
Reboot the system again:
>reboot
A login prompt appears on the ASCII terminal. The PXM is now the same as a PXM that
Cisco ships with a runtime firmware image.
