If the network host is listed, go to step 8. Otherwise, proceed with
step 6.
6Add an entry to the Static Host Table so that the ERX system can
access the network host. The host command allows you to specify
the network host name and IP address.
host1#configure
Configuring from terminal or file [terminal]?
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
host1(config)#host hostName ipAddress ftp loginname password
7Press <CTRL-Z> to return to Privileged Exec mode.
8Use the ping command to determine whether the ERX system can
now reach the network host.
host1#ping hostname
If the ERX system cannot reach the network host, verify that you
performed the previous steps in this procedure correctly and that th e
network host is operational.
Task 6: Enable the FTP Server on the ERX System
The ERX system divides its vty resources among Telnet, SSH, and FTP
services. Each FTP session requires one vty line, and the FTP service uses
the authentication method configured for the vty line. If you configured
more than one vty line for Telnet access, the FTP service will use one of
those lines. If you configured only one line for Telnet access, configure
another vty line. See Chapter 5, Accessing the ERX System.
To enable the FTP Server, use the ftp-server enable command.
host1(config)#ftp-server enable
Task 7: Identify the Files to Transfer
To identify all the files for the release, open the software release (.rel) file
on the ERX software CD with a text editor. The software release file
contains a list of all the files associated wit h the release. You must transfer
the software release file and all the files it contains to the user space.
Task 8: Transfer Files to the User Space
To transfer the files for the release to the ERX user space, use the FTP
client software on the network host to connect to the FTP server on the
ERX system. Transfer the files to a subdirectory within the incoming
