7.
Upgrade and verify PROMs on the router.
The router’s programmable read-only memory (PROM) contains software
images for its bootstrap and diagnostic code. Bootstrap and diagnostic PROM
code is included on the BayRS release media.
Bay Networks strongly recommends that you upgrade PROMs in a router to
implement the latest software or hardware features before booting with a new
version of router software. For instructions on upgrading PROMs, see the
upgrading guide for your version of BayRS.
8.
Boot the router with the customized image.
After you successfully transfer the customized image to the router and
upgrade the PROMs, you can boot the router with the customized image.
The first time that you successfully boot an ASN
™
router from a new image,
the boot time may be longer. After the initial boot, you can shorten the boot
interval by changing the default Netboot settings (see Connecting ASN
Routers to a Network).
9.
Upgrade the existing configuration file.
You need to upgrade existing configuration files to support new BayRS
features. Optionally, you can create a new Version 13.xx configuration file to
replace your existing configuration file for the router.
Using the Configuration Manager, upgrade your existing configuration file by
booting the router with the current configuration file (config) and then saving
it in dynamic mode. This procedure updates the configuration file’s version
stamp to match the new version of BayRS.
10.
Transfer Technician Interface script files to the router.
You must transfer a minimum set of Technician Interface script files to the
router. For the list of these files, see the upgrading guide for your version of
BayRS.
