Image Installation Tips

The following information about RSL operations can help you with the installation process:

• If you are loading software on a preconfigured router, save the router configuration file on your PC

before running RSL.

• If you have added any static entries to the PC Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) table, one or

more of them may be deleted by RSL. Manually re-enter any deleted entries in the PC ARP table.

• During a connection, if the router’s running configuration is not the same as its startup

configuration, the exact configuration is not restored. Any changes that you made since the last time

you entered copy running-config startup-config or write memory commands are lost.

• RSL restores the router’s startup configuration, but some running configuration commands are not

restored. To restore the exact running configuration, reboot the router. The following interface

configuration commands are not restored to the running configuration:

–

no shutdown

–

no ringspeed

–

media-type aui

Recovering from a Connection Error

If any of the following elements apply to your installation, modify the Short Timeout value from the

Options dialog box in RSL:

• You are connecting to a router or access server that has a large configuration file.

• You are connecting to a Cisco AS5200 access server.

• You see the following error message:

"Failed to configure the router to enable the Cisco IOS software image and configuration

file upload and download operations. You may want to check the router to make sure that

the selected interface exists."

If you are connecting to a Cisco AS5200, increase the Short Timeout value to 60 seconds. The

Cisco AS5200 requires up to 45 seconds to write a configuration to nonvolatile random-access memory

(NVRAM) due to the number of interfaces the it must check during this process.

If you are connecting to any other router or access server, increase the Short Timeout to a value over 25

seconds.
