SET INSTALL

Syntax

SET INSTALL={TEMPORARY|PREFERRED|DEFAULT}

[RELEASE={release-name|EPROM}] [PATCH[=patch-name]]

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.

■ patch-name is the name of the patch file to set in this install.

Description

This command sets up release and patch information for one of the installs.

The INSTALL parameter specifies which install is to be set. The INSTALL

module is responsible for maintaining install information and loading the

correct install at boot. An install is a record identifying a release and an optional

patch. Three installs are maintained by the INSTALL module, temporary,

preferred and default.

The default install is the install of last resort. The release for the default install

can not be changed by the manager and is always the EPROM release. The

patch for the default install may be set by the manager.

The temporary and preferred installs are completely configurable. Both the

release and an associated patch may be set. The release may be EPROM or a

release stored in FFS.

The RELEASE parameter specifies the release file for this install. The release

file is either a file name of the form

device:filename.ext

for files in the file

subsystem, or EPROM, to indicate the EPROM release. The default value for

the device field is FLASH.

The PATCH parameter specifies the patch file for this install, and is a file name

of the form

device:filename.ext

. The patch file may be resident in either

NVS or FLASH. The default value for the device field is

FLASH

. If the patch

name is not given, the patch file information for a given install is removed and

only the release file will be loaded for the install.

A patch file can not be set up for an install unless a release file is already set up,

or a release file is specified in the same command. This stops the inadvertent

setting of an install to be just a patch file. When the router reboots in such a

case the particular install is ignored, which may have undesirable effects on the

router operation.

For security reasons this command will only be accepted if the user has SECURITY

OFFICER privilege.

Examples

To set up the release file 28-761.rel and patch file 28761-01.pat in FLASH as a

temporary install, use the command:

SET INSTALL=TEMPORARY RELEASE=28-761.REL PATCH=28761-01.PAT
