Chapter 5 Preparing RPM-PR Cards for Operation
Initializing RPM-PR Cards
Step 4 Verify the configuration status of the RPM-PR card by entering the show bootflash: command. For
example,
Router>show bootflash:
-#- ED --type-- --crc--- -seek-- nlen -length- -----date/time------ name
1 .. image BAC7D50E 2B80EC 27 2588780 Jul 12 2001 23:05:26 rpm-boot-mz_122-4.T
2 .. config 0EC2C678 2B84F0 18 898 Jul 12 2001 16:04:41 auto_config_slot09
30178064 bytes available (2589936 bytes used)
The bootflash contents should contain only the boot file and no configuration files. The example above
contains a configuration file (auto_config_slot09), which must be deleted before you initialize the card.
Instructions for deleting files appear later in this procedure.
Step 5 Enter enable mode. For example,
Router>enable
Password:
Router#
Note The default password for Enable mode is supplied with your switch. To secure access to your
RPM-PR cards, you should change this password. For information on changing the Enable
password, refer to the Cisco IOS documentation.
Step 6 If the bootflash contains any configuration commands, enter the delete command to mark them for
deletion. For example:
Router#delete bootflash:auto_config_slot09
Delete filename [auto_config_slot09]?
Delete bootflash:auto_config_slot09? [confirm]y
This command marks files for deletion, but it does not delete them. The next step removes any files
marked for deletion.
Step 7 If the bootflash contains configuration files marked for deletion, remove these files by entering the
squeeze command. For example,
Router#squeeze bootflash:
All deleted files will be removed. Continue? [confirm]y
Squeeze operation may take a while. Continue? [confirm]y
Squeeze of bootflash complete
To verify the current bootflash contents, enter the show bootflash: command.
Step 8 Enter global configuration mode. For example,
Router#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Step 9 Enter the boot system command using the following format:
Router(config)# boot system c:<filename>
For example:
Router(config)#boot system c:rpm-js-mz.122-4.T
Step 10 To configure the RPM-PR card to store its configuration on the PXM45 hard disk, enter the boot config
command as follows:
RPM-PR_LA_9(config)#boot config e:auto_config_slot
