Installing System Images
UNIX Example
rommon> IMAGE=system_images/IPS-4345-K9-sys-1.1-a-7.1-3-E4.img
Note The path is relative to the default tftpboot directory of the UNIX TFTP server. Images located
in the default tftpboot directory do not have any directory names or slashes in the IMAGE
specification.
Windows Example
rommon> IMAGE=system_images/IPS-4345-K9-sys-1.1-a-7.1-3-E4.img
Step 11 Enter set and press Enter to verify the network settings.
Note You can use the sync command to store these settings in NVRAM so they are maintained across
boots. Otherwise, you must enter this information each time you want to boot an image from
ROMMON.
Step 12 Download and install the system image.
rommon> tftp
Caution To avoid corrupting the system image, do not remove power from the IPS 4345 while the system image
is being installed.
Note If the network settings are correct, the system downloads and boots the specified image on the
IPS 4345. Be sure to use the IPS 4345 image.
