Preparing a Router with Multiple Flash Cards

Bay Networks recommends that you use two flash cards in a router that supports

multiple flash cards. This allows you to keep the current software image active on

one flash card while you use the TFTP command in Site Manager to transfer the

new (Version 13.xx) image to another flash card designated for the upgrade. After

you successfully install and verify the new router software image, you can delete

the earlier image version on the other flash card.

To prepare a router equipped with multiple flash cards to receive a customized

software image:

Insert a flash card into your router.

This flash card is the backup onto which you will store the Version 13.xx

router software image and associated router files.

Back up the contents of the flash card to the Site Manager workstation.

You do this as a safeguard in case the flash card malfunctions.

Reformat the flash card, making sure that the volume or slot number in

which the flash card resides is correct.

In the Router Files Manager window, choose Commands > Format.

This operation deletes all files from the flash card and compacts its contents.

Now your backup flash card is ready to accept the Version 13.xx image and

associated files.
