PAGE 219
Managing interface modules Configuring interface module boot parameters Ethernet interface modules contain independent copies of system software and boot after the management module boots. By default, the following boot-related events occur: • The router synchronizes, or prompts you to synchronize, the software image on the interface modules with the software on the management module.
PAGE 220
Managing interface modules Syntax: lp cont boot sync slot-number Syntax: lp cont boot no sync slot-number Specifying an immediate synchronization To immediately synchronize software images between the management module and one or all interface modules, enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level. device# lp sync all Syntax: lp sync [ all|slot-number] • The all keyword indicates that the immediate synchronization applies to all interface modules in the router.
PAGE 221
Managing interface modules The CLI command for specifying an immediate boot for one interface module is the same as that for specifying an automatic boot for one or all modules. The only difference is the CLI level from which you execute the command. You must specify the command for an immediate boot in the Privileged EXEC level and the command for an automatic boot in the global CONFIG level. The following sections explain how to specify an immediate boot and an automatic boot.
PAGE 222
Managing interface modules • The slot-number parameter specifies the slot number that contains the interface module that will undergo an immediate boot.You can specify 1 - 4 for 4-slot devices, 1 - 8 for 8-slot devices, 1 - 16 for 16-slot devices, or 1 - 32 for 32-slot devices. Specifying an immediate boot from a TFTP server To specify an immediate boot for the interface module installed in slot 1 from a TFTP server, enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI.
PAGE 223
Managing interface modules • The all | slot-number parameter specifies that the automatic boot applies to all interface modules in the device or to an interface module in the specified device slot number only. You can specify 1 - 4 for 4-slot devices, 1 - 8 for 8-slot devices, 1 - 16 for 16-slot devices, or 1 - 32 for 32-slot devices.

Using alarms to collect and monitor device status History Release version Command history R05.7.00b This command was introduced. Using alarms to collect and monitor device status Beginning in the Extreme NetIron software R05.3.00, the software keeps two logs; one of hardware status currently available to the system, and another of hardware status history. The current alarm log keeps only entries for current information; when a hardware status is no longer valid, the entry is cleared.
PAGE 229
Using alarms to collect and monitor device status Configuring alarm logging You can configure the system to log only specific level alarms for specific devices using the alarm command. The configuration setting applies to both logs, the current and history alarm logs. The level you set is the minimum level of alarms that will be logged. For example, if you set the configuration to log a minimum of minor level events, all minor, major and critical events will be logged.

IPv6 ND Proxy IPv6 ND Proxy Enabling the ND proxy feature causes the router to reply on behalf of the target host (if the target host exists). For nodes on different segments, the NS request for resolving the neighbor may not reach another host. The reply will contain the linklocal address of the router interface which is sending the reply, instead of the link-local address of the target host.
PAGE 237
IPv6 ND Proxy IPv6 ND Proxy Configuration Tasks The IPv6 ND Proxy is configured through the tasks of turning on the proxy capability for the node (ipv6 nd proxy), and defining the IPv6 destination network (ipv6 route). This configuration requires defining the outgoing interface as ethernet (with the slot or port), or ve (with the ve-id).
