Modifying Software Images for Routers
1-2
Appendix A lists all of the executable files that are available from Bay Networks.
You can modify a router software image as follows:
• Remove a protocol that you do not use. You might want to remove protocols
to make more space available on the medium that contains the router software
image.
• Add a protocol that you removed inadvertently.
• Consolidate the software image. Sometimes Bay Networks supplies the
software image on two diskettes. You might want to consolidate the two parts
into one image.
• Replace an existing image with an entirely new one.
To perform these tasks, you use the Image Builder, as the following section
describes.
Using the Image Builder to Modify Router Software Images
The Image Builder tool lets you customize the router software images that you
receive from Bay Networks. You access the Image Builder from the Tools menu in
the main Site Manager window.
To customize a router software image, you must do the following:
1.
Order the new router software from Bay Networks. This software comes
on CD-ROM or on 3 1/2-inch MS-DOS diskettes.
2.
Load the router software onto the local hard drive of your UNIX
workstation or PC (refer to Chapter 2).
3.
Load the router software into the Image Builder (refer to Chapter 2).
4.
Remove or add executable files as necessary (refer to Chapter 3).
