Step-by-step:
- Put the
jinstall-*.tgzfile on a FAT32 formatted USB drive and place it in the router's USB port - Connect to the router's console as root user (the prompt looks like this:
root>) - Start a shell session:
start shell(the prompt changes toroot%) - Create a temporary folder and mount the USB drive:
mkdir /mnt/usbmount -t msdosfs /dev/da1s1 /mnt/usb
- Copy the
jinstallfile 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
