Syntax
ENABLE RELEASE=release-name [PASSWORD=password]
NUMBER=release-number
where:
■ release-name is the name of a release file, of the form
device:filename.ext
. Valid characters are the lowercase letters (a–z),
digits (0–9) and the hyphen character (-). Wildcards are not allowed.
■ password is the password to licence this release, expressed as a string of
hexadecimal characters (A–F, 0–9). It is not case sensitive.
■ release-number is the release number for this release.
Description
This command enables a release file in the router.
The RELEASE parameter specifies the name of the release file. If the device
field is not specified, the default is
FLASH
.
The PASSWORD parameter specifies the password for this release, encoded as
a sequence of hexadecimal digits. The password is supplied by your distributor
or reseller, and is specific to a particular release and router serial number. The
password enables the release with either a full licence or a 30-day licence.
If the PASSWORD parameter is not present, the router looks for a reason to be
able to generate a password for this release. Valid reasons include the router
EPROMs having the same major and minor version numbers as the release
being licenced, or a valid release licence being found with the same major and
minor version numbers as the release being licenced. If either of these reasons
is found the router will generate a password internally, otherwise the
command will not complete. If the EPROMs or a valid FULL release licence are
found to provide the reason for generating a release licence, a FULL licence will
be generated. If the only valid release licences found are 30 day trial licences, a
30 day trial licence will be generated.
The NUMBER parameter specifies the software release for the release file being
licenced. This is entered in dotted decimal form, like “7.6.1”.
To enable a release for Software Release 7.6.0 or later on a router running
Software Release 7.4 or earlier, the following procedure must be used:
1. If the interim release number of the release being enabled is "0" (for
example, release 7.6.0), enter the release number without the interim release
number (e.g. NUMBER=7.6).
2. If the interim release number is not "0" (for example, 7.6.1), enter the release
number as two numbers, the first number being the major release number
and the second number being 65536*<interim-number>+<minor-number>.
For example, for release 7.6.1, enter NUMBER=7.65542)."
