Introduction This section briefly describes how to load the software into your Vanguard 7300
Series router. When you power up a Vanguard 7300, it initiates a node boot using
previously loaded operating software (Applications Ware).
Operating Software The operating software is stored compressed in Flash memory on the CPU Card. The
software loads into SDRAM for execution. There are a variety of operating software
feature sets available for the Vanguard 7300.
• Refer to the Software Release Notice accompanying your Vanguard 7300 for
feature information on the latest boot prom software and operating software
images available for your unit.
• Refer to the Vanguard Software Installation and Coldloading Manual
(Part Number T0028) for information on installing the operating software.
• Refer to the Vanguide Software Loader Users Guide (Part Number T0057) for
additional software loading information.
Note
After the software loads, refer to the online Vanguard Configuration Wizard and
the appropriate user documentation to configure the various software options.
Optional Software You can obtain Applications Ware Packages that can be tailored to your specific
needs. Vanguard Managed Solutions Applications Ware packages are divided into
licenses available for Vanguard products. These licenses include the following
packages:
• IP+
• SNA+

For details about the contents of the license upgrade packages and how they can be
obtained, refer to the latest Software Release Notice.
