To upgrade the MBRIDGE FPGA image on the BigIron RX management module, perform the following
general steps:
1. Determine the versions of the images currently installed on the BigIron RX management module
using the show version command.
2. Place the new MBRIDGE FPGA image on a TFTP server to which the BigIron RX system has access
or on a PCMCIA flash card inserted in slot 1 or slot 2.
3. Copy the MBRIDGE FPGA image from the TFTP server or a flash card in slot 1 or slot 2 to all
management modules or a management module in a specified chassis slot. To perform this step, enter
one of the following commands at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI (For example:
):
RX#
•
copy tftp mbridge <TFTP-server-ip-addr> <image-name> MBRIDGE
•
copy slot1 | slot2 mbridge <image-name> MBRIDGE
4. After the MBRIDGE upgrade is complete, the management module must be reloaded.
5. Verify that the MBRIDGE image(s) have been successfully copied to the specified interface
module(s) by entering the following command at any level of the CLI:
BigIron RX# show version
Check for the MBRIDGE image version numbers in the output. For more information on the software
images installed on BigIron RX, see MBRIDGE.

Rebooting the management module

After upgrading one or more software images on the management or interface module, you must reboot
the management module. After the management module reboots, it in turn reboots the interface modules.
To reboot the management module, enter one of the following commands:
•
reload (this command boots from the default boot source, which is the primary code flash)
•
boot system flash primary | secondary
During the management module reboot, the following synchronization events occur:
•
If you have a standby management module, the active management module compares the standby
module's monitor, primary, and secondary images to its own. If you have updated these images
on the active module, the active module automatically synchronizes the standby module's images
with its own.
