Syntax: lp boot system flash [ primary | secondary ] slot-number
• The primary and secondary keywords specify the primary or secondary image in the interface module flash memory.
• The slot-number parameter specifies the slot number that contains the interface module that will undergo an immediate
boot.You can specify 1 - 4 for 4-slot devices, 1 - 8 for 8-slot devices, 1 - 16 for 16-slot devices, or 1 - 32 for 32-slot
devices.
Specifying an immediate boot from a TFTP server
To specify an immediate boot for the interface module installed in slot 1 from a TFTP server, enter the following command at the
Privileged EXEC level of the CLI.
device# lp boot system tftp 123.123.123.123 primary 1
Syntax: lp boot system tftp ip-addressfilenameslot-number
• The ip-address parameter specifies the IP address of the TFTP server from which the interface module will be booted.
• The filename parameter specifies the name of the image from which to boot the interface module.
• The slot-number parameter specifies the slot number that contains the interface module that will undergo an immediate boot.
You can specify 1 - 4 for 4-slot devices, 1 - 8 for 8-slot devices, 1 - 16 for 16-slot devices, or 1 - 32 for 32-slot devices.
Specifying an immediate interactive boot

• The slot-number parameter specifies the slot number that contains the interface module that will undergo an immediate boot.
You can specify 1 - 4 for 4-slot devices, 1 - 8 for 8-slot devices, 1 - 16 for 16-slot devices, or 1 - 32 for 32-slot devices.
After you enter this command, the system enters monitor mode on the interface module. To boot from the primary image in flash
memory on the interface module, enter the following command at the monitor prompt.
LP MONITOR> boot system flash primary
Configuring an automatic boot
To configure an automatic boot for one or all interface modules from a specified source, enter the lp boot system command in the global
