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.
After you enter this command, the system enters monitor mode on the interface module. To boot from the primary image in flash
memory on the interface module, enter the following command at the monitor prompt.
LP MONITOR> boot system flash primary
Syntax: boot system flash primary
Configuring an automatic boot
To configure an automatic boot for one or all interface modules from a specified source, enter the lp boot system command in the global
CONFIG level. If you save this configuration by entering the write memory command, the system implements the automatic boot starting
with the next software reload or system reset and each reload or reset after that.
Configuring an automatic boot from the auxiliary flash slot on the management module
To configure an automatic boot for all interface modules from auxiliary flash slot1 on the management module, enter the following
command at the global CONFIG level of the CLI.
Brocade(config)# lp boot system slot1 primary all
Syntax: lp boot system [slot1 | slot2] <filename> [all | <slot-number>]
•
The slot1 and slot2 keywords indicate the auxiliary flash slot on the management module from which to boot the interface
modules.
•
The filename parameter specifies the name of the image from which to boot the 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.
Configuring an automatic boot from flash memory on the management module
To configure an automatic boot from the primary image in flash memory on the management module for all interface modules, enter the
following command at the global CONFIG level of the CLI.
Brocade(config)# lp boot system mp primary all
Syntax: lp boot system mp [primary | secondary] [all | <slot-number>]
•
The primary and secondary keywords specify the primary or secondary image in flash memory on the management module.
•
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.
Configuring an automatic boot from flash memory on the interface module
To configure an automatic boot from the primary image in flash memory on the interface module for all interface modules, enter the
following command at the global CONFIG level of the CLI.
Brocade(config)# lp boot system flash primary all
Syntax: lp boot system flash [primary | secondary] [all | <slot-number>]
•
The primary and secondary keywords specify the primary or secondary image in the interface module flash memory.
•
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 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.
