All future rommon releases can be downgraded to the Also, if a platform has a This section provides background information about the files and processes used in Managing and Configuring a Router to Run Using Individual Packages.
The consolidated package on a router consists of a collection of subpackages and a provisioning file titled packages. 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. 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. Alternatively, for an example of booting using subpackages, see Configuring the Router to Boot Using Subpackages.
The following table provides a list of file systems that can be seen on the Cisco series routers. Alias to the boot flash memory file system above. Cisco Networking Services file directory. System memory file system, which includes the running configuration.
Use the? This section discusses the autogenerated files and directories that can be created, and how the files in these directories can be managed. 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.
If this directory is erased, it will automatically regenerate itself at bootup. 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. 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 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.
Altering autogenerating files on the bootflash: may have unpredictable consequences for system performance. Crashinfo, core, and trace files can be deleted. Subpackages are installed to local media storage, such as flash. For flash storage, use the dir bootflash: command to list the file names. 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. The console baud rate is set to after changing the confreg to 0x 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 Cisco software licensing consists of processes and components to activate Cisco IOS software feature sets by obtaining and validating Cisco software licenses.
You can enable licensed features and store license files in the bootflash of your router. Licenses pertain to consolidated packages, technology packages, or individual features.
An evaluation license is automatically converted to a Right to Use model after 60 days and this license is valid permanently. The conversion to a permanent license applies only to evaluation licenses. For other features supported on your router, you must purchase a permanent license. One of the following two consolidated packages images is preinstalled on the router:. This image has limited crypto functionality.
The term npe stands for No Payload Encryption. The terms super package and image also refer to a consolidated package. An image-based license is used to help bring up all the subsystems that correspond to a license. This license is enforced only at boot time. The following examples show how to obtain software authenticity information and internal details of a package:. Obtaining the Description of a Module or Consolidated Package section.
Many features within the consolidated package are contained in the ipbasek9 base package. The license key for the ipbasek9 package is activated by default. Technology packages contain software features within a consolidated package.
To use different sets of features, enable the licenses of selected technology packages. You can enable the licenses for any combination of technology packages. Each technology package has an evaluation license that converts to a Right to Use RTU license after 60 days and is then valid permanently.
In Cisco Series Integrated Series Routers, although L2TPv2 sessions comes up without appxk9, you need the appxk9 license for the traffic to go through the sessions.
This is to fulfill export restriction requirements. To use Cisco UBE features, you will require session licenses and a Security technology package to secure the media. To use each of the following features, enable a corresponding feature license, as explained in the following sections:. The HSECK9 license allows features in the securityk9 technology package to use the maximum number of secure tunnels and crypto bandwidth. For more information about the securityk9 technology package, see securityk9.
The performance feature, which allows for increased throughput, is enabled by the performance license. This feature is part of the ipbasek9 technology package. The license is displayed as the throughput license. You can upgrade the throughput of the ESP from 2. If you want to determine the current throughput level of the ESP, run the show platform hardware throughput level command. The following example shows the output of this command before the performance upgrade license is applied:.
In the user EXEC configuration mode, enter the enable command. Enter configure terminal command to enter the global configuration mode. To save the configuration, enter the copy running-config startup-config command.
To reload the router enter reload. A reload is required to activate the throughput level. Cisco Boost performance license allows you to increase the throughput bandwidth.
You can enable Boost performance license in the follwoing modes:. Configure the device with the license install bootflash:xxx command as shown in this example. The platform hardware throughput level boost is automatically added to the configuration. Save the configuration and reload the device to enable Boost performance license. After the reload, the Boost Performance is activated as shown in this example.
This section describes the processes to activate and deactivate the Boost performance license from the device with two use-cases. Boot the device in Smart License mode. The boost performance command is not visible without registering in the Smart Portal.
After successfully registering to the Smart Portal, check the availability of the boost performance licenses in the smart account. Use the platform hardware throughput level boost command to enable the feature.
You need to save the configuration. If a valid license is still available in the smart account, the Boost Performance feature is enabled after the device is reloaded. To check for the platform hardware throughput level, use the show platform hardware throughput level boost command. If there are not enough licenses, it shows an Out of Compliance OOC message, and the throughput level change does not take effect even after the device is reloaded.
The device is in the smart license mode with boost performance command configured. Use show running-config and the show license summary commands to display the boost performance information from the smart account. Use the no platform hardware throughput level boost command to disable the functionality. The command is removed from the configuration, but the license is released only after the device is reloaded.
One count of boost performance license is reduced from the usage pool, and one license is returned to its original pool. The boost performance behavior is determined by the availability of the license in its Smart Account with Boost Performance activated in CSL:. To configure the throughput level, perform the following steps and to upgrade the throughput level use the.
Configure the device with the platform hardware throughput level boost command and then use show running-config to check if the boost performance license is activated. Use show license to verify if boost performance is in use and in a permanent license mode.
Enable smart license by license smart enable command. After registration in success, the license request is sent to the smart portal for validation. Boost performance is valid if successful, no reload is required. Otherwise the platform hardware throughput level boost is unattached from configuration. Boost performance functionality is disabled after reload. During the transition but before the registration, we have to maintain the Evaluation mode for the license if the is existing to avoid an extra reload later.
This section includes these two use-cases that describe what happens during the transition from Smart License to Cisco Software License. Device show license to ensure that Smart License and Boost performance licenses are enabled. Check the Smart License Account if the boost performance license is consumed from the corresponding device. Check the availability of the boost performance license, you may decide to retain the boost command. Use no platform hardware throughput level boost in the show running-configuration.
Device show license to check if smart license is enabled, but boost performance license is not in the list. Check the Smart License Account, the boost performance license is not used from the corresponding device. To remove Smart License, use no license smart enable. Check the availability of the boost permanent license to add the boost keyword.
If there is no permanent license available, then no boost performance command and functionality is likely to change. To install or upgrade the software, use one of the following methods to use the software from a consolidated package or an individual package. Also see the overview section. 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.
To choose between running individual packages or a consolidated package, see Installing the Software - Overview section. Installing Subpackages from a Consolidated Package. Installing a Firmware Subpackage. Perform the following procedure to obtain the consolidated package from a TFTP server. Another variation of this procedure obtains the consolidated package from a USB flash drive.
Copy the consolidated package to the TFTP server. Shows the version of software running on the router. This can later be compared with the version of software to be installed.
Displays the previous version of software and that a package is present. Creates a directory to save the expanded software image. You can use the same name as the image to name the directory. Boots the consolidated package, by specifying the path and name of the provisioning file: packages.
Displays the version of the newly installed software. The initial part of the example shows the consolidated package, isruniversalk9. This is a prerequisite step. The remaining part of the example shows the consolidated file, packages.
The steps for installing subpackages from a consolidated package on a USB flash drive are similar to those described in Installing Subpackages from a Consolidated Pacakage section. Also see Overview section. During the upgrade, do not power cycle the device. The following example illustrates the boot process of a consolidated package:.
