Examples
Installing a Standard Release using TFTP
This example assumes that the router is correctly configured to allow TFTP to
function. This means that IP has been configured and the router is able to
communicate with the designated TFTP server. The TFTP server is assumed to
be functioning correctly and the release and patch files are assumed to be
present in the server’s TFTP directory. The router has no release or patch files,
and is running the EPROM Software Release 7.6.0. The IP address of the server
is 172.16.1.1. The name of the release file being loaded is
8-761.rel
and the
name of the patch file is
8761-01.pat
.
To install a standard release:
1. Configure the loader.
The LOADER module is set up with defaults to make the process of
downloading files in future simpler. All release and patch files in this
router will be stored in FLASH.
SET LOADER SERVER=172.16.1.1 DEST=FLASH
2. Download the release file to the router.
The release file is downloaded to the router with the command:
LOAD FILE=8-761.REL
The process of downloading a release file can take some time, even if the
router and the TFTP server are connected by high speed links. An
indicative time for downloading a release over Ethernet is 5 to 10 minutes.
The progress of the download can be monitored with the command:
SHOW LOAD
When the download has completed, the presence of the file in FLASH can
be displayed with the command:
SHOW FILE
This shows the file 8-761.rel is present.
3. Enter the licence information for the release.
To allow this file to be used as a release file, a licence must be entered with
the command:
ENABLE RELEASE=8-761.REL PASSWORD=ce645398fbe NUMBER=7.6.1
The password is provided by your distributor or reseller and is unique for
the release number (in this case 7.6.1), the file name and the router’s serial
number.
4. Test the release.
The release can now be tested, using the command:
SET INSTALL=TEMPORARY RELEASE=8-761.REL
