B-14

APPENDIX B

Installing JUNOSe Software

Note: If you do not press the key sequence <mb> before the countdown ends, the reloading process continues and returns the CLI to the normal User Exec mode.

Task 4: Assign an IP Address

When you assign an IP address to the E-series router in Boot mode, the address is configured on the Fast Ethernet port of the primary SRP module. To assign an Internet address to the E-series router, use the ip address command.

:boot##ip address ipAddress [ mask ]

Task 5: Configure Access to the Network Host

To configure access to the network host:

1Configure a gateway through which the E-series router will reach the network host.

:boot##ip gateway ipAddress

2Determine whether the E-series router has been configured to recognize the network host.

:boot##show host

If the network host is listed, go to the next section. Otherwise, proceed with step 3.

3Add an entry to the Static Host Table so that the E-series router can access the network host.

:boot##host hostName ipAddress ftp login-name password

The host command allows you to specify the network host name and IP address.

Task 6: Mount the CD on the Network Host

The way you mount the CD on the network host depends on the type of network host you use, the operating system, and the way your network is configured. To find out how to mount a CD on the network host, review the manual for the operating system, or check with your network administrator.

Task 7: Copy the Software Release File

To copy the software release file to the E-series router, use the copy command.

Note: The destination file must have a .rel extension.
