Installation Guide

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 dierence 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.
Specifying an immediate boot
You can specify an immediate boot for one interface module from a specied source by entering the lp boot system command in the
Privileged EXEC level. The entered command will override the default or congured boot source one time only.
Specifying an immediate boot from the auxiliary ash slots on the management module
To specify an immediate boot for the interface module installed in slot 1 from the auxiliary ash slot on the management module, enter
the lp boot system command at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI.
device# lp boot system slot1 primary 1
Syntax: lp boot system [ slot1 | slot2 ] lename slot-number
• The slot1 and slot2 keywords indicate the auxiliary ash slot on the management module from which to boot the interface
module.
• The lename parameter species the name of the image from which to boot the interface module.
• The slot-number parameter species the device 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 management module ash memory
To specify an immediate boot from the primary image on the management module for the interface module installed in slot 1, enter the
following command at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI.
device# lp boot system mp primary 1
Syntax: lp boot system mp [ primary | secondary ] slot-number
• The primary and secondary keywords specify the primary or secondary software image in ash memory on the management
module.
• The slot-number parameter species the device 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 ash memory on the interface module
To specify an immediate boot from the primary image in ash memory on the interface module installed in slot 1, enter the following
command at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI.
device# lp boot system flash primary 1
Syntax: lp boot system
ash [ primary | secondary ] slot-number
• The primary and secondary keywords specify the primary or secondary image in the interface module ash memory.
