How to Use the Image Builder
3-13
To load the image:
1. Check that the software image for the format (refer to Table 1-1) appears
in the directory where you loaded the router software.
a. If the image does appear in that directory, load the files into the
Image Builder (refer to “Loading Router Software into the Image
Builder” in Chapter 2).
b. If the image does not appear in the directory where you loaded the
router software, you must load the image onto your workstation
(refer to “Loading Router Software onto a PC or UNIX Workstation”
in Chapter 2) and then load the image in the Image Builder.
2. Repeat the procedure for creating a new image or converting an image
for another type of router.
Converting an Image for Other Software Versions
In a network, you may have Bay Networks routers that use different versions of
Bay Networks software. If you want to run the same image on those routers, you
can create an image for a router running one software version and convert the
image for routers running other software versions. For example, you might want
to run the same image on routers running Version 7.60 software and routers
running Version 9.00 software. You can create an image with Version 9.00 files
and convert the image to use Version 7.60 files.
To convert an image to a different software version:
1. Select File➔Change Release.
A list of software versions appears. If you cannot select the version you want,
you need to load that version into the Image Builder. Refer to “Pr
oceeding
When a Software Version Is Not Available.”
2. Select a version from the list.
The image changes to the software version you selected.
3. Save the modified image (refer to “Saving a Modified Image”).
Note: You can only use this feature to convert to software versions that you
previously loaded into the Image Builder.
