On the BlackDiamond switch, you can take the master MSM configurations and images
and replicate them on the slave MSM using the following command:
synchronize
In addition to replicating the configuration settings and images, this command also
replicates which configuration or image the MSM should use on subsequent reboots.
This command does not replicate the run-time configuration. You must use the
save
configuration
command to store the run-time configuration first. It also does not
replicate the BootROM imaged stored on the MSM.

The BootROM of the switch initializes certain important switch variables during the
boot process. If necessary, BootROM can be upgraded, after the switch has booted,
using TFTP. In the event the switch does not boot properly, some boot option functions
can be accessed through a special BootROM menu.

Upgrading BootROM is done using TFTP (from the CLI), after the switch has booted.
Upgrade the BootROM only when asked to do so by an Extreme Networks technical
representative. To upgrade the BootROM, use the following command:
download bootrom [<host_name> | <ip_addr>]

MENU
Interaction with the BootROM menu is only required under special circumstances, and
should be done only under the direction of Extreme Networks Customer Support. The
necessity of using these functions implies a non-standard problem which requires the
assistance of Extreme Networks Customer Support.
To access the BootROM menu, follow these steps:
1 Attach a serial cable to the console port of the switch.
2 Attach the other end of the serial cable to a properly configured terminal or terminal
emulator, power cycle the switch while depressing the spacebar on the keyboard of
the terminal.
