Creating a New Image
Creating an entirely new image is usually not necessary; however, the Image
Builder provides the option if you need it. For example, you might want to
completely reconfigure the router’s software image or perform a major upgrade
from a very old version of software to the most current version.
To create a new image:
1. In the Image Builder window, choose File > New.
The New Image window opens (Figure
6-6).
You cannot choose the New command unless the router software files are
archived in the Image Builder directory.

Confirm that the format you want is available.
The image formats that appear in the New Image window are those that you
loaded into the Image Builder. For example, the image bn.exe is in the Image
Builder, which is why you can select the BN/BNX format.
If you cannot select the image format you want, you need to load the image
associated with the image format into the Image Builder. Refer to “Loading
Image Files into the Image Builder” on page
6-7 for instructions.
