Task 7: Copy the Software Release File to the Router

To copy the software release file to the router, use the copy command.

Be sure to specify the correct software release (.rel) filename for the router you are using, as described in Identifying the Software Release File.

Note: The destination file must have a .rel extension.

For example:



host1#copy hostname:/cdrom/x-y-z/erx_x-y-z.rel
erx_x-y-z.rel

The software release is copied from the network host to the router. This process can take several minutes.
