Installing System Images
Step 4
Recover the application partition image:
sensor(config)#
recover application-partition
Warning: Executing this command will stop all applications and re-image the node to
version 5.0(0.27)S91(0.27). All configuration changes except for network settings will be
reset to default.
Continue with recovery? []:
Step 5
Type
yes
to continue.
Shutdown begins immediately after you execute the
recover
command. Shutdown can take a while, and
you will still have access to the CLI, but access will be terminated without warning.
The application partition is reimaged using the image stored on the recovery partition. You must now
initialize the appliance with the
setup
command. For the procedure, see
Initializing the Sensor, page 3-2
.
Note
The IP address, netmask, access lists, time zone, and offset are saved and applied to the reimaged
application partition. If you executed the
recover application-partition
command remotely,
you can SSH to the sensor with the default username and password (cisco/cisco) and then
initialize the sensor again with the
setup
command. You cannot use Telnet until you initialize
the sensor because Telnet is disabled by default.
If you cannot access the CLI to execute the
recover application-partition
command, you can reboot the
sensor and select the option from the boot menu during the bootup process. This lets you boot to the
recovery partition and reimage the application partition. Executing the
recovery
command in this way
requires console or keyboard and monitor access to the sensor, which is possible on the appliances and
NM-CIDS, but not on the IDSM-2 or AIP-SSM.
