Installation Notes
Step 4 When asked if you want to continue, choose yes.
Step 5 When the Catalyst 8500 CSR is connected, select Download Router Configuration in the
Router Software Loader dialog box.
Step 6 Select the appropriate file and click the radio button beside Copy configuration to the router
nonvolatile memory. The Catalyst 8500 CSR should now contain the startup configuration it had
before the initial RSL connection.
Step 7 Exit RSL.
Note In the steps above, the Catalyst 8500 CSR configuration register (config-register 0xnnnn)
is not restored.
Note If you press Ctrl-Alt-Delete to quit RSL, the router configuration and the configuration
register are not restored. However, the configuration file is not deleted from the PC. To
restore the configuration file, follow the steps above, beginning with Step 2.
Alternatives to RSL
RSL is designed to work with a PC running Microsoft Windows 95 and is the recommended method for
downloading software to the Catalyst 8500 CSR; however, you can install the software using the TFTP
process described in the following section.
Note The sample prompts and output shown in the following sections might not be identical to
the prompts displayed on the Catalyst 8500 CSR console.
Installing the Catalyst 8500 CSR Software by Using a TFTP Server Application
Use this TFTP server application method as an alternative method to install the Catalyst 8500 CSR
software from the CD-ROM. You can perform this procedure by using a PC (running Microsoft
Windows 95 or Microsoft Windows 3.1), a Macintosh, or a UNIX system. You can use either the copy
tftp flash or copy rcp flash command to download the software to the Catalyst 8500 CSR.
First, obtain a TFTP application or a remote copy protocol (rcp) application to set up your computer as
a TFTP server or an rcp server. If you are using a PC running Windows 95, you can use RSL or the
TFTP server included on the feature pack CD-ROM to install the Catalyst 8500 CSR software. For other
operating systems, a number of TFTP or rcp applications are available from independent software
vendors, or as shareware on the World Wide Web.
Note To use an rcp application, follow the same procedure below, but substitute “rcp” for
“TFTP” and use the copy rcp flash command instead of the copy tftp flash command.
Step 1 Install any TFTP server application on the PC. (A PC application is included on the feature pack
CD-ROM for Microsoft Windows 95 only.)
