APPENDIX E
Installing ERX System Software
E-10
If the network host is listed, go to step 8. Otherwise, proceed with
step 6.
6 Add 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
7 Press <CTRL-Z> to return to Privileged Exec mode.
8 Use 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 the
network host is operational.
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:
host1#copy hostname:/cdrom/x-y-z/x-y-z.rel x-y-z.rel
The software release will be copied from the network host to the
ERX system. This process can take several minutes.
