Upgrading Routers from Version 5 to Version 10.0
2-2
Task 2: Installing the Router Software
Follow the instructions provided in Modifying Software Images for Routers to
install Version 10.0 router software on a Site Manager PC.
Task 3: Backing Up Version 5 Files from Router to PC
Bay Networks recommends that you back up to your PC the software image and
config files currently stored on the router. It is important to maintain backup
copies of these files to ensure that you can restore router operation in case you
encounter malfunctions during the upgrade process.
You back up Version 5 files to your Site Manager PC via diskette or via the IP
network. (In Chapter 4, you use the backup copy of your Version 5 router
configuration file as the source for the conversion utility convert.exe.) Choose the
file backup or transfer method most appropriate for your requirements.
Transferring Files via Diskette
You can physically transport the router diskette with Version 5 configuration files
to your Site Manager PC, then copy the files to the local hard drive. Perform the
following steps:
1. Enter the following Network Control Language (NCL) command at the
operator’s console of the router you want to upgrade:
remove
2.
Remove the diskette from the diskette drive of the router.
3. Insert the router diskette into the diskette drive of the PC.
4. Copy all files from the router diskette to the desired directory on your PC
hard drive using MS-DOS commands or the Windows File Manager.
For example, copy the files to the \wf\v580backup directory, where v580 is the
version of your router software.
5. Remove the router diskette from the PC’s diskette drive.
6. Reinsert the diskette into the router’s diskette drive.
7. Enter the following NCL command at the router operator’s console:
insert
