Task 5: Configure Access to the Network Host

To configure access to the network host:
1. Configure a gateway through which the E-series router will reach the network
host.
:boot##ip gateway ipAddress
2. Determine whether the E-series router 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.
3. Add an entry to the Static Host Table so that the E-series router can access the
network host.
:boot##host hostName ipAddress ftp login-name password
The host command allows you to specify the network host name and IP
address.

Task 6: 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 7: Copy the Software Release File

To copy the software release file to the E-series router, use the copy command.
Be sure to specify the correct software release (.rel) filename for the router you are
using, as described in Identifying the Software Release
The destination file must have a .rel extension.
NOTE:
For example:
:boot##copy hostname:/cdrom/x-y-z/erx_x-y-z.rel erx_x-y-z.rel
The software release is 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:
1. Run the boot system command, specifying the .rel filename of the software
release. For example:
