Verify that the directory holds the correct software image for
your router (Ta b le 2 -4 ).
Booting with the ti.cfg File
To prepare new routers for initial configuration, you first boot the router with the
ti.cfg file. The ti.cfg file is an initial configuration file containing only the minimal
information needed to boot the router. You then run the installation script or use
BCC commands to add configuration information about your first IP interface.
When you complete the Quick-Start procedure, you save your new configuration
information to a file called startup.cfg. Do not edit the ti.cfg file or overwrite it
with another configuration file.
If the installation fails, you must reboot the router with ti.cfg before retrying the
Quick-Start procedure. You also should boot with the ti.cfg file if:
• The router is currently booted from a configuration file other than ti.cfg and
you want to reconfigure the router from scratch.
• You change the initial IP connector (port) that you use to communicate with
the configuration workstation.
