AIS AI2524 user manual Dual Flash Bank Configuration Task List

AI2524 Router Card User’s Manual

Unless the image is downloaded as the first file in the first partition, this download must be performed by an image that recognizes relocat- able images.

In contrast, a nonrelocatable image is an image that does not recognize relocatable images.

You can identify a relocatable image by its name. The naming conven- tion for images that are stored on a UNIX system is:

platform-capabilities-type

The letter l in the type field indicates a relocatable image. Examples of some relocatable image names include

zigs-i-l—IP-only imag

zigs-d-l—Desktop feature image

zigs-bpx-l—Enterprise image

Only images with the igs prefix used by the AI2524 are available as relocatable images. Images distributed on floppy diskettes might have different naming conventions.

For backward compatibility, the relocatable images are linked to exe- cute as the first file in the first Flash memory bank. This makes the im- ages similar to previous Flash memory images. Thus, if you download a relocatable image into a nonrelocatable image system, the image runs correctly from Flash memory.
