Appendix A Downloading and Installing Software Upgrades
Upgrade Procedures for RPM-PR and RPM-XF Cards
If you do need to upgrade the boot software, you can copy the new boot file to the PXM disk, and then
copy it to the bootflash. The following procedure describes how to upgrade the boot software.
Step 1 Copy the new boot software file for the RPM card to the switch (C:FW) as described in the “Copying
Software Files to the Switch” section earlier in this appendix.
Tip In the past, this guide recommended transferring files to the E:RPM directory. You can still do this
and reference the E:RPM directory by entering e: while in enable mode. However, storing boot and
runtime software in the E:RPM directory significantly increases the size of configuration files
created with the saveallcnf command. E:RPM is still used to store configuration files that should be
backed up.
Step 2 Establish a configuration session using any valid user name.
Step 3 Enter the cc command to select the RPM card to update.
pop20two.7.PXM.a > cc 9
(session redirected)
Router>
The switch displays the Cisco IOS prompt for the router on the RPM card. From this point on, all
commands are Cisco IOS commands.
Note This procedure assumes that you are familiar with Cisco IOS commands (which is a topic that
is beyond the scope of this book). This procedure details only those commands that are unique
to setting up RPM on the switch. For general Cisco IOS commands, examples are given to show
how to complete the task.
Step 4 Enter Enable mode for the router.
Router>enable
Password:
Router#
Step 5 To verify router access to the PXM hard disk and display the boot file name, enter dir x: command.
Router#dir x:
