the CD on the network host depends on the type of network host you use, the operating
system, and the way your network is configured. To find out how to mount a CD on the
network host, review the manual for the operating system, or contact your network
administrator.
Task 7: Copy the Software Release File to the Router
To copy the software release file to the router, use the copy command.
Be sure to specify the correct software release (.rel) filename for the router you are using,
as described in “Identifying the Software Release File” on page 118.
NOTE: The destination file must have a .rel extension.
For example:
host1# copy hostname:/cdrom/x-y-z/erx_x-y-z.rel erx_x-y-z.rel
The software release is copied from the network host to the router. This process can take
several minutes.
Task 8: Save the Current Configuration
To save the current configuration, use the copy running-configuration command:
host1# copy running-configuration filename.cnf
Task 9: Reboot the System
To reboot the system using the newly installed software:
1.
Access Global Configuration mode.
host1# configure
Configuring from terminal or file [terminal]?
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
host1(config)#
2.
Run the boot system command, specifying the .rel filename of the software release.
For example:
host1(config)# boot system erx_x-y-z.rel
The following message appears when you issue this command:
WARNING: We recommend that you copy the current running- configuration to a file
prior to reloading a different release of software.
3.
Press Ctrl+z to return to Privileged Exec mode.
4.
Make sure that the router is ready to boot with the new software release.
host1# show boot
If the old software version is still listed, verify that you completed the previous steps
correctly.
5.
Run the reload command.
