2. Download the release files to the router.
The compressed release files are downloaded to the router with the
commands:
LOAD FILE=8-761.REZ
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 files in FLASH can
be displayed with the command:
SHOW FILE
This shows the file 8-761.rez is present.
3. Enter the licence information for the release.
To allow these file to be used as release files, a licence must be entered for
each file, with the commands:
ENABLE RELEASE=8-761.REZ 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.REZ
The install information can be checked with the command:
SHOW INSTALL
The router is then rebooted, and the install is checked again. This display
should indicate, in the install history, that the temporary install was
loaded.
5. Make the release the default (permanent) release.
If the router operates correctly with the new release, the release may be
made permanent with the command:
SET INSTALL=PREFERRED RELEASE=8-761.REZ
Every time the router reboots from now on, the new release will be loaded
from FLASH.
Installing a Compressed Patch
This example illustrates how to install a compressed patch on a router running
base EPROMs for Software Release 7.6.1 or later.
To install a compressed patch:
1. Download the patch files to the router.
Download the patch file 8761-01.paz into the router with the command:
LOAD FILE=8761-01.PAZ
This download takes a lot less time than the download of the release files,
and is verified by showing the files in FLASH.
