To upgrade monitor and boot images for all interface modules or a specified interface module
perform the following steps.
1. Place the new monitor and boot images on a TFTP server that the router can access, or on a
2. Copy the new monitor and boot images to all interface modules, or to a specified interface
3. Verify that the new images were successfully copied by entering the show flash command.
To upgrade other software images, refer to the appropriate upgrade section. When you have
completed your upgrade, you must reboot the management module. Refer to "Rebooting the
Management Module."
Upgrading interface modules using the combined FPGA image

copy tftp lp <tftp_srvr> xmlb05100.bin monitor all |<slot-number> - copies the latest monitor
image from the TFTP server to all interface modules or to a specified interface module.
copy tftp lp < tftp_srvr > xmlprm05100.bin boot all | <slot-number> - copies the latest boot
image from the TFTP server to all interface modules, or to a specified interface module.
copy slot1 | slot2 lp <ip-address> xmlb05100.bin monitor all |<slot-number> - copies the
latest monitor image from the flash card to all interface modules or to a specified interface
module.

The <file-name> variable specifies the file name of the bundled image for a specific software
release.
The <slot-num> variable specifies the slot number.
The <module-type> variable specifies the interface module where the FPGA is to be upgraded.
