Downloading Software
The default image for Cisco 761, Cisco 765, Cisco 771, and Cisco 775 routers is NET3, IR.
The default image for all other Cisco 700 series routers is US. Usually the software loaded
in your router at the factory is the most up-to-date version available. You might want to
update the image if
•
The default image is not the correct image for your area.
•
A new version of the image has been released.
•
Another version of the image contains features you desire.
The following example loads the operating system software in the router through a serial
connection from the terminal to the configuration port.
Table B-2 shows the approximate software load times.
To load new software, follow these steps:
Step 1 Connect to the router as described in the “Establishing a Terminal Connection”
section.
Step 2 Enter the swl (software load) command:
Host> swl
You are prompted to verify that you intend to download the software image.
