Logging in to the Virtual Console of a C9010
Component
You must log in to the virtual console of a C9010 component in order to re-configure its boot variables. By
default, you log in to a C9010 console port, which is identified as RPM0 CP or RPM1 CP.
•
To log in to the RPM RP: Hold down the Ctrl key and type geo. Then release the Ctrl key and type r.
•
To log in to the RPM LP: Hold down the Ctrl key and type geo. Then release the Ctrl key and type l.
•
To log in to a line-card processor: Hold down the Ctrl key and type geo. Then release the Ctrl key and
type the line-card slot number 0 to 9.
•
When you finish, log back in to the RPM CP: Hold down the Ctrl key and type geo. Then release the Ctrl
key and type x.
Booting the C9010 from an Image on a Network
Server
If you can configure an RPM to boot from a system image stored on a network server, all C9010 components
are automatically configured to boot from the RPM CP image. This automatic boot configuration ensures that
all components run the same image as the RPM CP.
To configure the RPM CP to boot from an image on a network server, use the boot system command:
boot system {rpm0 | rpm1} {default | primary |secondary [ftp://filepath | system:
{A: | B:} | tftp://filepath]}
Where:
•
The FTP file path is ftp://userid:password@host-ip-addr/filepath.
•
The TFTP file path is tftp://host-ip-addr/filepath.
Configuring C9010 Components to Boot from
the RPM CP Image
By reconfiguring boot variables and resetting a component, you should be able to resolve most issues
resulting from mismatched system images.
To display the boot variables for a C9010 component that you need to configure so that a component boots
with the RPM CP image, enter the show bootvar command at the BOOT_USER# prompt.
The following examples display boot variables and C9010 internal IP addresses for the RPM0 route processor,
RPM0 line-card processor, and line card installed in slot 3.
BOOT_USER# show bootvar
