BigIron RX# lp boot system tftp 123.123.123.123 primary 1
Syntax: lp boot system tftp <ip-address> <filename> <slot-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 BigIron RX Series chassis slot number that contains
the interface module that will undergo an immediate boot. You can specify 1 – 4 for BigIron RX-4, 1
– 8 for BigIron RX-8 or 1 – 16 for BigIron RX-16.
Specifying an immediate interactive boot
To specify an immediate interactive boot for the interface module installed in slot 1, enter the
following command at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI:
BigIron RX# lp boot system interactive 1
Syntax: lp boot system interactive <slot-number>
The <slot-number> parameter specifies the BigIron RX Series chassis slot number that contains
the interface module that will undergo an immediate boot. You can specify 1 – 4 for BigIron RX-4, 1
– 8 for BigIron RX-8 or 1 – 16 for BigIron RX-16.
After you enter this command, the system enters the interface module's monitor mode. For
example, to boot from the primary IronWare image in the interface module's flash memory, enter
the following command at the monitor prompt:
LP MONITOR> boot system flash primary
Configuring an automatic boot
You can configure an automatic boot for one or all interface modules from a specified source by
entering the lp boot system command in the global CONFIG level. Provided that you save this
configuration by entering the write memory command, the system will implement the automatic
boot starting with the next software reload or system reset and each reload or reset after that.
Configuring an automatic boot from the management module's PCMCIA slot
For example, to configure an automatic boot for all interface modules from the management
module's PCMCIA slot 1, enter the following command at the global CONFIG level of the CLI:
BigIron RX(config)# lp boot system slot1 primary all
Syntax: lp boot system slot1 | slot2 <filename> all | <slot-number>
The slot1 and slot2 keywords indicate the management module's PCMCIA slot from which to boot
the interface modules.
The <filename> parameter specifies the name of the image from which to boot the interface
modules.
