generate command.
Upgrading images independently
Using the unified image upgrade is the preferred method for upgrading images, since it is an
easier, one single step process. However, if you do not want to use the unified image upgrade
method, you can upgrade your module boot, monitor, and system images separately.
Upgrading software releases prior to release 02.2.01
If your BigIron RX is running a release prior to Release 02.2.01, you must upgrade the management
module and interface module images separately. Follow the steps given below for this upgrade.
1. Upgrade the monitor and boot images on the management and interface modules. See the
following sections:
•
“Upgrading the management module monitor and boot images”
•
“Upgrading the IronWare image on a management module”
•
“Upgrading the monitor and boot images on interface modules”
•
“Upgrading the interface module’s IronWare image”
2. Upgrade the MBRIDGE FPGA. Refer to
“Upgrading the MBRIDGE FPGA on the management
3. Reboot the management module. Refer to
“Rebooting the management module”
4. If you are using SSH v2, clear and regenerate a new crypto key.
