Continuing the Upgrade: Converting and Customizing Files
4-3
Refer to Modifying Software Images for Routers for instructions on customizing
the router software image for a router you want to upgrade. When you finish
customizing the router software image, follow the instructions for converting a
Version 5 config file on a PC (Task 2A) or on a UNIX workstation (Task 2B).
About Converting Configuration Files
To transfer a Version 5 configuration file to the router you want to upgrade, you
must first convert the configuration file to a Version 7.56 binary file using the
convert.exe utility.
The Site Manager installation software automatically installs the convert.exe
utility on your Site Manager workstation or PC. The convert.exe utility reads the
existing Version 5 config file, upgrades configuration parameters and related
features in that file, and creates the following new files:
• A Version 7.56 binary configuration file
The convert.exe utility names this file <filename>.v7, where <filename> is
the name of the file it reads (typically config).
• An ASCII report that provides details about each translation mapping
The convert.exe utility names this file <filename>.rpt, where <filename> is
the name of the file it read (typically config) and rpt signifies “report.” Use
this file for troubleshooting only.
When you want to review a config.rpt file for troubleshooting purposes, you can
print the file to the screen or to a printer, or you can display the file using a text
editor.
