To upgrade the management module IronWare image (primary or secondary), you must perform
the following steps:
1. Place the new IronWare image on a TFTP server to which the BigIron RX system has access or
on a PCMCIA flash card inserted in slot 1 or 2.
2. Copy the new IronWare image from the TFTP server or a flash card in slot 1 or 2 to the
management module's code flash or a flash card in slot 1 or 2.
To perform this step, enter one of the following commands at the Privileged EXEC level of the
CLI:
•
copy tftp flash <TFTP-server-ip-addr> <image-name> primary | secondary
•
copy tftp slot1 | slot2 <TFTP-server-ip-addr> <image-name> primary | secondary
•
copy slot1 | slot2 flash <image-name> primary | secondary
