Task 8: Copy the Software Release File to the Router

To copy the software release file to the 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 File" on page 118.
NOTE: The destination file must have a .rel extension.
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 router. This process can take
several minutes.

Task 9: Reboot the System

To reboot the system using the newly installed software:
Run the boot system command, specifying the .rel filename of the software release.
1.
For example:
:boot##boot system erx_x-y-z.rel
The following message appears when you issue this command:
WARNING: We recommend that you copy the current running-configuration to a file
prior to reloading a different release of software.
Run the reload command.
2.
:boot##reload
The following message appears when you issue this command:
WARNING: Execution of this command will cause the system to reboot. Proceed with
reload? [confirm]
The system reboots. The reboot might take longer than normal because line modules
initialize with the old version of the software, acquire the new version from the SRP
module, and reinitialize. When you observe the LEDs on the line modules, the line
modules appear to boot twice.
When you have copied the release files from a network host to one router, you can transfer
files from that router to other routers on the network. This feature is useful when:
The other routers are unreachable from the network host but have network connectivity
to the router on which you installed the new software.
The connection between routers is faster than the connection between a router and
the network host to which it is connected.
