Upgrading Routers from Version 5 to Version 10.0
5-2
Task 1: Booting the Router from a Flash Volume
Before you attempt to boot the router from a Flash volume, ensure that
• You backed up your Version 5 router software image and configuration files,
log files, and any other files critical for router recovery, in case you encounter
problems during the upgrade process. (Refer to Chapter 2 (PC) or Chapter 3
(UNIX workstation) for instructions.)
• You configured the router you want to upgrade to Version 10.0 to boot from a
Flash file system volume.
• The router contains a Flash card and you have inserted the Flash card in the
slot to the right.
• The Flash card contains a Version 7–9.xx router software image, a default
config file, and the ti.cfg file.
You boot the router from a Version 7–9.xx Flash file system volume to initialize
the Technician Interface on the router. You use the Technician Interface to
• Register the router’s backplane type (Task 2)
• Configure and initialize your initial IP connection (Task 3)
To boot the router from a Flash volume:
1. Press the Reset button on the router.
After the router boots successfully, the Technician Interface welcome
message (or related message your network administrator has substituted)
appears:
Welcome to the Technician Interface
Login:
Note: If you do not boot the router from a Version 7–9.xx router software
image (ace.out), you cannot transfer the Version 10.0 router software image to
a Flash card from your Site Manager workstation or PC. You must boot your
router from a Flash card that contains Router Software Version 7–9.xx.
