Yesterday I had to replace a 2X 10Gb module in one of my XMRs. The card itself was running a lower version of code than the box itself. At first I could see the LC loading of the software, but after that the card was not able to boot.
I tried loading the software onto the card again, but the box says the card needs to be either UP or in Interactive mode. You’re stuck in a bit of a catch-22 here where you can’t load anything unless the card is in interactive mode.
First you need to figure out which module it is you want to boot. This is easy as line card 1 = 1 and so on. For this example I’m using module 3.
XMR-4000#conf t
XMR-4000(config)#lp boot system interactive 3
XMR-4000(config)#end
This tells the box to boot the card in interactive mode. You will now need to actually reboot the module:
XMR-4000#power-off lp 3
XMR-4000#power-on lp 3
Slot 3 is powering on.
SYSLOG: <13>Jan 11 10:02:11 XMR-4000 System: Module 3 powered on
Slot 3: booted to Interactive Mode.
We’ve been told that the card has been booted into interactive mode, but let’s confirm anyway:
XMR-4000#sh module | include S3
S3: NI-XMR-1Gx20-GC 20-port 10/100/1000 Copper Module CARD_STATE_INTERACTIVE
Now that the card is in interactive mode we can load the software on. In this particular example I’m loading 5.4b so change the filenames for your version
XMR-4000#copy tftp lp 192.168.1.80 xmlb05400.bin monitor 3
XMR-4000#copy tftp lp 192.168.1.80 xmlprm05400.bin boot 3
XMR-4000#copy tftp lp 192.168.1.80 lpfpga05400b.bin fpga-all 3
Once the software is loaded, we need to configure the box to not boot the card into interactive mode:
XMR-4000#conf t
XMR-4000(config)#no lp boot system interactive 3
XMR-4000(config)#end
Finally let’s reboot the card again:
XMR-4000#power-off lp 3
XMR-4000#power-on lp 3
Slot 3 is powering on.
SYSLOG: <13>Jan 11 10:07:12 XMR-4000 System: Module 3 powered on
We should be good to go now:
XMR-4000#sh module | include S3
S3: NI-XMR-1Gx20-GC 20-port 10/100/1000 Copper Module CARD_STATE_UP
