Installing Software When a Firewall Does Not Exist ERX Edge Routers
Task 3: Assign an IP Address
When you assign an IP address to the ERX system in boot mode, the address is configured on the Fast Ethernet port of the primary SRP module. To assign an Internet address to the ERX system, use the ip address command.
:boot##ip address ipAddress [ mask ]
Task 4: Configure Access to the Network Host
To configure access to the network host, complete the following steps:
1Configure a gateway through which the ERX system will reach the network host.
:boot##ip gateway ipAddress
2Determine whether the ERX system 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 ERX system can access the network host.
:boot##host hostName ipAddress ftp
The host command allows you to specify the network host name and IP address.
Task 5: 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 6: Copy the Software Release File
To copy the software release file to the ERX system, use the copy command.
Note: The destination file must have a .rel extension.
For example:
:boot##copy
