Copying Release Files from One E-Series Router to Another E-Series Routers

B-15

For example:

:boot##copy hostname:/cdrom/x-y-z/x-y-z.rel x-y-z.rel

The software release will be copied from the network host to the

E-series router. This process can take several minutes.

Task 8: Reboot the System

To reboot the system using the newly installed software:

1Run the boot system command, specifying the .rel filename of the software release. For example:

:boot##boot system x-y-z.rel

The following message appears when you execute this command:

WARNING: It is recommended that you copy the current running-configuration to a file prior to reloading a different release of software.

2Run the reload command.

:boot##reload

The following message appears when you execute this command:

WARNING: Execution of this command will cause the system to reboot. Proceed with reload? [confirm]

The system reboots. The reboot may take longer than normal because line modules initialize with the old version of the software, acquire the new version from the SRP module, and reinitialize. When you observe the LEDs on the line modules, the line modules appear to boot twice.

Copying Release Files from One E-Series Router to Another

When you have copied the release files from a network host to one

E-series router, you can transfer files from that E-series router to other

E-series routers on the network. This feature is useful when:

•The other E-series routers are unreachable from the network host but have network connectivity to the E-series router on which you installed the new software.

•The connection between E-series routers is faster than the connection between an E-series router and the network host to which it is connected.
