The following section discuss how to manage the IronWare image synchronization in these
situations.
Synchronizing the interface modules IronWare images during bootup
By default, the BigIron RX Series checks the IronWare images in the interface module's flash
memory during boot to ensure they are is the same as the IronWare images in the management
module's flash memory. If an interface module does not have an IronWare image, the system
automatically downloads the image from the management module's flash memory to the interface
module's flash memory.
If an interface module has different IronWare images, the system prompts you to do the following:

Specifying an immediate synchronization
You can immediately synchronize the IronWare images between the management module and one
or all interface modules. For example, to immediately synchronize the IronWare images between
the management module and all interface modules, enter the following command at the Privileged
EXEC level:
BigIron RX# lp sync all
Syntax: lp sync all | <slot-number>
The all keyword indicates that the immediate synchronization applies to all interface modules in the
BigIron RX Series.
The <slot-number> parameter specifies the BigIron RX Series slot number that contains the
interface module to which the immediate synchronization applies. You can specify 1 – 16.
Disabling or re-enabling an automatic check and synchronization
By default, the BigIron RX Series checks the IronWare images in the interface module's flash
memory during bootup to ensure it is the same as the IronWare images in the management
module's flash memory. For information about what the system does if the interface module does
not currently have a IronWare image or if the image is different from that of the management
module,refer to
page 197.

You want to initiate an immediate synchronization; for example, you want an immediate update
of the IronWare images on one or all interface modules.
You want to disable synchronization; for example, you have upgraded the IronWare image of
one interface module but want to continue running the older image on all other interface
modules.
If you want to update the primary and secondary IronWare images in the interface module's
flash memory with the images in the management module's flash memory, enter the lp
cont-boot sync <slot-number> command at the Privileged EXEC prompt.
If you want to retain the IronWare images in the interface module's flash memory, enter the lp
cont-boot no-sync <slot-number> command at the Privileged EXEC prompt.
