2. Load the new release file onto the router.
Make sure there is space in FLASH for the new release file. Load the new
file onto your router. Make sure the release file matches your router model
(see “Upgrading Router Software” on page 63). Load any patch files
required, and the help file for the release (see “Loading and Uploading Files”
on page 59). To load the release file using your LOADER default settings,
enter the command:
Wait for the release to load. This can take several minutes, even if you are
loading the file over a high speed link. To see the progress of the load, enter
the command:
SHOW LOAD
To check that the files are successfully loaded, enter the command:
SHOW FILE
3. Enter licence information for the release.
Enter the licence password for the software release.
The release licence password is provided by your authorised distributor or
reseller and is unique for the release number, the file name and the router’s
serial number.
Enter passwords for any special feature licences.
ENABLE FEATURE=feature PASSWORD=password
4. Test the release.
Set the new release to run as a temporary install. This sets the router to load
the new release once only when it reboots.
If you want to use the current router configuration again, store the
dynamic configuration as a configuration script file and set the router to
use this configuration when it restarts. Releases are generally backward-
compatible, so your current configuration should run with little or no
modifications on the later release.
CREATE CONFIG=myconfig.cfg
SET CONFIG=myconfig.cfg
The SET CONFIG information survives the release update.
Reboot the router.
RESTART REBOOT
The router reboots, loading the new release file and the specified
configuration. Display the install history, and check that the temporary
release was loaded.
SHOW INSTALL
5. Make the release the default (permanent) release.
If the router operates correctly with the new release, make the release
permanent.
Every time the router reboots from now on, it loads the new release from
FLASH.
