Task 4: Mount the CD on the Network Host
The way you mount the CD on the network host depends on the type of
computer you use, the operating system, and the network configuration.
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 5: Configure Access to the Network Host
To configure access to the network host:
1Use the ping command to determine whether the ERX system can
reach the network host.
host1#ping hostname
If the ERX system can reach the network host, go to the next section.
Otherwise, go to step 2.
2Determine if a route exists between the ERX system and the network
host.
host1#show ip route
If the appropriate route is displayed, go to step 4. Otherwise, proceed
with step 3.
3Configure a route to reach the network host.
host1#configure
Configuring from terminal or file [terminal]?
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
host1(config)#ip route ipNetwork networkMask ipNextHop
