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.
• The slot-number parameter
species the slot number that contains the interface module to which the immediate
synchronization applies. 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 shutdown
The management module takes approximately 16-20 seconds to shutdown all interface modules in a device after a reload is issued.
During this time, the interface module continues sending packets. Enter the lp fast-powerdown command to immediately shut down all
interface modules in a device after a reload is issued.
device(config)# lp fast-powerdown
If you do not enter this command, by default, the interface module continues to forward packets for an extended time after the router is
reloaded.
NOTE
You do not need to change the state of the interface module, or synchronize this shutdown with the standby management
module.
Changing the boot source
By default, the interface modules boot from the primary image located in ash memory. You can change the boot source of one or all
interface modules to one of the following sources:
• Management module
– auxiliary ash card in slot 1 or 2
– Primary or secondary image in the management module ash memory
• Interface module
– Secondary image in interface module ash memory
• TFTP server
You can also specify an interactive boot, which allows you to enter a separate command after the interface module comes up. The
command species the source from which one or all interface modules should boot.
When changing the boot source for one or all interface modules, you can specify one of the following:
• An immediate boot for one interface module from a specied source
• An automatic boot for one or all interface modules from a specied source starting with the next software reload or system reset
and each reload or reset after that
