Install the software

This chapter contains the following sections:

Install a software

Installing software on the router involves installing a consolidated package (bootable image). This consists of a bundle of subpackages (modular software units), with each subpackage controlling a different set of functions.

Licensing for Cisco 8000 Series Secure Routers

Cisco 8000 Series Secure Routers support platform-based licensing, a way of grouping licenses and devices based on platform-classes. A platform class is a hierarchical categorization based on the product family and place in the network. In this platform-based licensing model, Essentials and Advantage licenses are available. License portability is supported across devices within the same platform class and usage of the same license across different modes is also possible.

For more information, see Cisco 8000 Series Secure Routers Licensing.

Provisioning files

The consolidated package on a router consists of a collection of subpackages and a provisioning file titled packages.conf. To run the software, the usual method used is to boot the consolidated package, which is copied into memory, expanded, mounted, and run within memory. The provisioning file's name can be renamed but subpackage file's names cannot be renamed. The provisioning file and subpackage files must be kept in the same directory. The provisioning file does not work properly if any individual subpackage file is contained within a different directory.


Note

An exception to this is that if a new or upgraded module firmware package is subsequently installed, it need not be in the same directory as the provisioning file.

Configuring a router to boot, using the provisioning file packages.conf, is beneficial because no changes have to be made to the boot statement after the Cisco IOS XE software is upgraded.

File systems

The following table provides a list of file systems that can be seen on the Cisco 8100 Series Secure Routers.

Table 1. Router File Systems

File System

Description

bootflash:

Boot flash memory file system.

flash:

Alias to the boot flash memory file system above.

cns:

Cisco Networking Services file directory.

nvram:

Router NVRAM. You can copy the startup configuration to NVRAM or from NVRAM.

obfl:

File system for Onboard Failure Logging (OBFL) files.

system:

System memory file system, which includes the running configuration.

tar:

Archive file system.

tmpsys:

Temporary system files file system.

usb0:

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) flash drive file systems.

Note

 

The USB flash drive file system is visible only if a USB drive is installed in usb0: port.

Use the ? help option, or use the copy command in command reference guides, if you find a file system that is not listed in the table above.

Autogenerated file directories and files

This section discusses the autogenerated files and directories that can be created, and how the files in these directories can be managed.

Table 2. Autogenerated files

File or Directory

Description

crashinfo files

Crashinfo files may appear in the bootflash: file system.

These files provide descriptive information of a crash and may be useful for tuning or troubleshooting purposes. However, the files are not part of router operations, and can be erased without impacting the functioning of the router.

core directory

The storage area for .core files.

If this directory is erased, it will automatically regenerate itself at bootup. The .core files in this directory can be erased without impacting any router functionality, but the directory itself should not be erased.

lost+found directory

This directory is created on bootup if a system check is performed. Its appearance is completely normal and does not indicate any issues with the router.

tracelogs directory

The storage area for trace files.

Trace files are useful for troubleshooting. If the Cisco IOS process fails, for instance, users or troubleshooting personnel can access trace files using diagnostic mode to gather information related to the Cisco IOS failure.

Trace files, however, are not a part of router operations, and can be erased without impacting the router's performance.

Important notes about autogenerated directories

Important information about autogenerated directories include:

  • Autogenerated files on the bootflash: directory should not be deleted, renamed, moved, or altered in any way unless directed by Cisco customer support.


    Note

    Altering autogenerating files on the bootflash: may have unpredictable consequences for system performance.

  • Crashinfo, core, and trace files can be deleted.

Flash storage

Subpackages are installed to local media storage, such as flash memory. For flash storage, use the dir bootflash: command to list the file names.


Note

Flash storage is required for successful operation of a router.

Configuring the configuration register for autoboot

The configuration register can be used to change router behavior. This includes controlling how the router boots. Set the configuration register to 0x0 to boot into ROM, by using one of the following commands:

  • In Cisco IOS configuration mode, use the config-reg 0x0 command.

  • From the ROMMON prompt, use the confreg 0x0 command.

For more information about the configuration register, see Configuring a router to boot the consolidated package via TFTP using the boot command.


Note

Setting the configuration register to 0x2102 will set the router to autoboot the Cisco IOS XE software.


Note

The console baud rate is set to 9600 after changing the confreg to 0x2102 or 0x0. If you cannot establish a console session after setting confreg, or garbage output appears, change the setting on your terminal emulation software to 9600.

LED indicators

For information on LEDs on the router, see the LED Indicators section of the Hardware Installation Guide for the Cisco 8100 Series Secure Routers.

How to install and upgrade the software

Installing software on the router involves installing a consolidated package (bootable image). This consists of a bundle of subpackages (modular software units), with each subpackage controlling a different set of functions.

Managing and configuring a consolidated package using copy and boot commands

To upgrade a consolidated package, copy the consolidated package to the bootflash: directory on the router using the copy command. After making this copy of the consolidated package, configure the router to boot using the consolidated package file.

The following example shows the consolidated package file being copied to the bootflash: file system via TFTP. The config register is then set to boot using boot system commands, and the boot system commands instruct the router to boot using the consolidated package stored in the bootflash: file system. The new configuration is then saved using the copy running-config startup-config command, and the system is then reloaded to complete the process.
