How to Install, Upgrade, or Downgrade
Upgrading or Reinstalling NAM Software
During software upgrades, you use the Bootloader, a small set of system software that runs when the system first powers up. The Bootloader loads and runs the NAM application. The bootloader might optionally load and run the helper image on flash memory.
Reinstalling software involves installing, configuring, and starting a helper image. The helper, in turn, starts the NAM installation wizard, which installs the software.
Note Plan software upgrades or downgrades for times when you can take all applications that run on the host router out of service or offline.
