The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

During software installations, you use the Bootloader, a small set of system software that runs when the system first powers up. The Bootloader loads and runs the Prime NAM application. The bootloader might optionally load and run the helper image on flash memory.
Reinstalling software involves installing, configuring, and starting a helper image. The helper, in turn, starts the Prime NAM installation wizard, which installs the software.
Note | Plan software upgrades or downgrades for times when you can take all applications that run on the host router out of service or offline. |
This section has the following topics:
The Cisco SRE NAM contains three Prime NAM software images:
Prime NAM software upgrades are available in two forms:
Perform one of the following procedures in this section, depending on your requirement:
Note | Using this method is discouraged. Installing using IOS commands or CLI commands is preferred. |
If you are installing Cisco SRE NAM for the first time, you must perform the installation using the IOS command method described below.
Note | This installation method reformats the Cisco SM-SRE hard disk. |
Do the following before you begin installing Cisco SRE NAM:
Note | The helper does not perform name resolution, so URLs need to use numeric IP addresses. The URLs need their passwords embedded. |
Procedure
The SRE installation is a common installation procedure for all SRE applications. It is controlled from the IOS prompt.
Note | It takes some time to initialize the hard drive and install the Cisco NAM software. |
Perform the following:
1. Navigate to the image directory and expand the ZIP file.
2. From the IOS CLI issue the command service-module sm2/0 install url ftp://<file-location>. In this example the SM-SRE is in slot 2.
Command or Action | Purpose | |
---|---|---|
Step 1 | Navigate to the
image directory and expand the ZIP file.
Example: [nam@nam-ftp ~]$ unzip nam-app-x86_64.6-1-1-5.bin.gz.zip Archive: nam-app-x86_64.6-1-1-5.bin.gz.zip inflating: nam-app-x86_64.6-1-1-5.bin.gz inflating: nam-app-x86_64.6-1-1-5.bin.gz.helper inflating: nam-app-x86_64.6-1-1-5.bin.gz.install.sre inflating: nam-app-x86_64.6-1-1-5.bin.gz.install.sre.header inflating: nam-app-x86_64.6-1-1-5.bin.gz.key inflating: nam-app-x86_64.6-1-1-5.bin.gz.smbootloader |

Step 2 | From the IOS
CLI issue the command
service-module
sm2/0
install
url
ftp://<file-location>. In this example the
SM-SRE is in slot 2.
