) - Start a shell session:
start shell
(the prompt changes toroot%
) - Create a temporary folder and mount the USB drive:
mkdir /mnt/usb
mount -t msdosfs /dev/da1s1 /mnt/usb
- Copy the
jinstall
file to the local file system:- Example:
cp /mnt/usb/jinstall-ppc-14.2R7.5-domestic-signed.tgz /var/tmp/
- Example:
cp /mnt/usb/jinstall-ppc-15.1R5.5-domestic-signed.tgz /var/tmp/
- Example:
- Unmount the USB drive and unplug it:
umount /mnt/usb
- Exit the shell session to go back to command mode:
exit
(the prompt changes back toroot>
) - Install the software with the command
- Example:
request system software add /var/tmp/jinstall-ppc-14.2R7.5-domestic-signed.tgz
- Example:
request system software add /var/tmp/jinstall-ppc-15.1R5.5-domestic-signed.tgz
- Example:
- Reboot the router:
request system reboot
