Converting an Image for Other Software Versions
You may have Bay Networks routers in a network that use different versions of
router software. To run the same image on all routers, you can create an image for
a router running one software version and convert the image for routers running
other software versions.
For example, you might want to run the same image on routers running Version
11.00 software and routers running Version 12.00 software. You can create an
image with Version 12.00 files and convert the image to use with Version 11.00
files.
You can use this feature only to convert images to software versions that you
previously loaded into the Image Builder.
To convert an image to a different software version:
1. In the Image Builder window, choose File > Change Release.
A list of software versions opens.
2. Confirm that the release version you want is available.
If you cannot select the version you want, you need to load the associated
image for that version into the Image Builder. Refer to “Loading Image Files
into the Image Builder” on page
6-7 for instructions.
3. Select a version from the list.
The image changes to the software version you selected.
4. Save the modified image.
Refer to “Sa
ving a Modified Image” on page 6-14.
