Copying a Set of Individual SubPackage Files, and Booting Using a Provisioning File
To copy a set of individual subpackage files and to boot using a provisioning file, perform the following
steps:
Note Although this upgrade method works, it is less efficient than other methods of upgrading the router’s
software.
Step 1 Copy each individual subpackage and the provisioning file into the bootflash: directory using the copy
command. Note that this method of running the router will only work if all the individual subpackages
for a release and a provisioning file are downloaded onto the router and stored in the bootflash: directory.
No other file directories should be used for booting the router using individual subpackages.
The files can also be moved on the router physically using a USB Flash drive.
Step 2 Configure the router to boot using the provisioning file.
The sequence below provides an example that describes how to boot the router using the provisioning
f
ile named packages.conf that was stored with the other subpackages in the bootflash: file system. The
router runs using individual subpackages once the reload is complete.
Router(config)# no boot system
Router(config)# config-register 0
x2102
Router(config)# boot system flash
bootflash:packages.conf
Router(config)# exit
