Task 3: Assign an IP Address

When you assign an IP address to the ERX system in boot mode, the
address is configured on the Fast Ethernet port of the primary SRP
module. To assign an Internet address to the ERX system, use the

ip

address command.

:boot##ip address ipAddress [ mask ]

Task 4: Configure Access to the Network Host

To configure access to the network host, complete the following steps:

1

Configure a gateway through which the ERX system will reach the
network host.

:boot##ip gateway ipAddress

2

Determine whether the ERX system has been configured to
recognize the network host.

:boot##show host

If the network host is listed, go to the next section. Otherwise,
proceed with step

3

.

3

Add an entry to the Static Host Table so that the ERX system can
access the network host.

:boot##host hostName ipAddress ftp login-name password

The

host command allows you to specify the network host name and

IP address.

Task 5: Mount the CD on the Network Host

The way you mount 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 check with your network
administrator.

Task 6: Copy the Software Release File

To copy the software release file to the ERX system, use the

copy

command.

Note: The destination file must have a .rel extension.

For example:

:boot##copy hostname:/cdrom/x-y-z/x-y-z.rel x-y-z.rel
