Using the CLI to Install Firmware

To use the CLI to install the firmware, transfer the firmware image file from a workstation to the router. Then use the CLI image unpack command to install the new firmware image:

1.At the workstation prompt, use the ftp command to go to the location on the router where you want to transfer the firmware image. For example:

C:\fwImage>ftp 172.17.137.190 Connected to 172.17.137.190.

220 (none) FTP server (GNU inetutils 1.4.2) ready.

2.Enter your username and password. For example:

User (172.17.137.190:(none)) – ftp

331 Guest login ok, type your name as password. Password – ftp

230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply.

3.At the ftp prompt, type BIN to set binary mode. For example: ftp> bin

200 Type set to I.

4.Use the put command to transfer the firmware image file from the workstation to the router. For example:

ftp> put isr-6142-2_2_0_x.bin 200 PORT command successful.

150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for 'isr-6142-2_2_0_x.bin'.

226 Transfer complete.

ftp – 4822816 bytes sent in 0.41Seconds 11878.86Kbytes/sec.

5.Type quit. The firmware image has been transferred to the router.

6.Log on to the router as an administrator.

(none) login – guest Password – password
