You must download and install the switch RCF file to each switch in the MetroCluster IP configuration.
Before you begin
This task requires file transfer software, such as FTP, TFTP, SFTP, or SCP, to copy the files to the switches.
About this task
These steps must be repeated on each of the IP switches in the MetroCluster IP configuration.
There are four RCF files, one for each of the four switches in the MetroCluster IP configuration. You must use the correct RCF files for the switch model you are using.
| Switch | RCF file | | |
| IP_switch_A_1 | BES-53248_v1.32_Switch-A1.txt | | |
| IP_switch_A_2 | BES-53248_v1.32_Switch-A2.txt | | |
| IP_switch_B_1 | BES-53248_v1.32_Switch-B1.txt | | |
| IP_switch_B_2 | BES-53248_v1.32_Switch-B2.txt | | |
- Download the MetroCluster IP RCF files for the Broadcom switch.
- Copy the RCF files to the switches:
- Copy the RCF files to the first switch: copy sftp://user@FTP-server-IP-address/RcfFiles/switch-specific-RCF nvram:script BES-53248_v1.32_Switch-A1.txt nvram:script BES-53248_v1.32_Switch-A1.scr
Example
In this example, the BES-53248_v1.32_Switch-A1.txt RCF file is copied from the SFTP server at 50.50.50.50 to the local bootflash. You need to use the IP address of your TFTP/SFTP server and the file name of the RCF file that you need to install.
(IP_switch_A_1) #copy sftp://user@50.50.50.50/RcfFiles/BES-53248_v1.32_Switch-A1.txt nvram:script BES-53248_v1.32_Switch-A1.scr
