Upgrading the MBRIDGE FPGA image
Follow the steps given below to upgrade one or more MBRIDGE FPGA images on a BigIron RX
Series management module.
1. Place the new MBRIDGE FPGA image on a TFTP server to which the BigIron RX Series system
has access or on a PCMCIA flash card inserted in slot 1 or 2.
2. Copy the MBRIDGE FPGA image from the TFTP server or a flash card in slot 1 or 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 (example:
BigIron RX
#
):
•
copy tftp mbridge <ip-addr> <image-name> MBRIDGE
•
copy slot1 | slot2 mbridge <image-name> MBRIDGE
3. After the MBRIDGE upgrade is complete, the management module must be power-cycled.
4. Verify that the MBRIDGE images have been successfully copied to the specified interface
modules by entering the following command at any level of the CLI:
•
show version
Check for the MBRIDGE image version numbers in the output.
