Configuration File Upgrade Procedure Summary
The following steps summarize the upgrade procedure for Version 5 configuration
files:
1. Convert a Version 5 config file to a binary Version 7.56 config file.
Alternatively, you can create a new config file for the router you want to
upgrade. For more information about creating new configuration files, refer to
Configuring Routers.
2. Open the new Version 7.56 configuration file and perform the following
functions:
• Re-identify the router’s hardware configuration (router type, module type
per slot, and so forth) in the file.
• Check for default parameters and correct any new parameter settings in
the file according to your network configuration requirements.
• Add any new Version 10.0 features and traffic filters you want in the file.
3. Use TFTP to transfer the new Version 7.56 configuration file to a router
running Version 10.0 software.
This is the router that you booted off startup.cfg.
4. Boot the router using the converted Version 7.56 configuration file.
5. Save the converted Version 7.56 configuration file to Flash on the router
running the Version 10.0 router software.
Specify a file name other than config (for example, config.new).
This updates the MIB version stamp on the Version 7.56 configuration file to
Version 10.0, resulting in a new configuration file that contains Version 10.0
configuration parameters and features.
6. Save the completed configuration to Flash on the target router.
Note: Steps 3 through 6 of this procedure are described in detail in Chapter 5.
