Cisco Systems RSP8 manual Enabling the Router, Copying an Image onto an RSP

Enabling High Availability Features

Enabling the Router

To enter privileged EXEC configuration mode, enable the router using the following steps:

Step 1 At the user-level EXEC prompt, run the enable command. The router prompts you for a privileged-level password as follows:

Router> enable

Password:

Step 2 Type the password (the password is case sensitive). For security purposes, the password is not displayed.

When you specify the correct password, the system displays the privileged-level system prompt (#):

Router#

This completes the procedure to enable the router.

Copying an Image onto an RSP

You can use TFTP to copy a high availability Cisco IOS software image onto the active and standby RSPs.

Note Before you begin to copy a file to Flash memory, be sure that there is enough space available in Flash memory. To verify the amount of Flash memory available, you can use the show flash: command. Compare the size of the file you are copying to the amount of available Flash memory shown. If the space available is less than the space required by the file you will copy, the copy process will continue, but the entire file will not be copied into Flash memory.
