Software Upgrade Methods

Several methods are available for upgrading software on the Cisco 1800 series integrated services fixed-configuration routers, including:

•Copy the new software image to flash memory over the LAN or WAN while the existing Cisco IOS software image is operating.

•Copy the new software image to flash memory over the LAN while the boot image (ROM monitor) is operating.

•Copy the new software image over the console port while in ROM monitor mode.

•From ROM monitor mode, boot the router from a software image that is loaded on a TFTP server. To use this method, the TFTP server must be on the same LAN as the router.

Recovering a Lost Password

To recover a lost enable or lost enable-secret password:

1.Change the Configuration Register

2.Reset the Router

3.Reset the Password and Save Your Changes (for lost enable secret passwords only)

4.Reset the Configuration Register Value

Note Recovering a lost password is only possible when you are connected to the router through the console port. These procedures cannot be performed through a Telnet session.

Tip See the “Hot Tips” section on Cisco.com for additional information on replacing enable secret passwords.
