Upgrading Routers from Version 5 to Version 10.0
1-6
Satisfying Startup Requirements
Before you attempt the Version 5 to Version 10.0 upgrade procedure, ensure that
• Your router is currently running Bay Networks Version 5 router software.
• You know the hardware configuration of the router you want to upgrade
(router model, link modules, and slot assignments for link modules).
• You know how to back up the Version 5 router software and files.
• You have a working knowledge of the operating system and the windowing
software on the UNIX workstation or PC you will use to run Site Manager
software.
• You have a 4-MB Flash card on which to store the Version 10.0 router
software image and associated files. A 2-MB Flash card will no longer
accommodate the Version 10.0 router software image and associated files.
• You have considered minimum hardware revisions (for example, a link
module with hot-swap capability may require a hardware revision for Version
10.0).
• You have considered your memory requirements carefully. Based on the
number of protocols installed on your router, you may require additional
memory to run these protocols.
If you have questions regarding memory requirements, contact the Bay
Networks Technical Response Center in your area.
• You have read these Bay Networks publications:
— Read Me First
(Version 10.0)
— Release Notes for Router Software Version 10.0
— Release Notes for Site Manager Software Version 4.0
— Known Anomalies (
Version 10.0
)
Note:
Later in the upgrade procedure, you must enter the router’s hardware
configuration in each of the upgraded configuration files.
