Installation Prerequisites

Using the Ping Command

Before you attempt to upload or retrieve a ﬁle from a remote host, ensure that the connection is good

between the router and the remote server. The packet internet groper (ping) program sends a series

of echo request packets to the remote device and waits for a reply. If the connection is good, the

remote device echoes them back to the local device.

The console terminal displays the results of each message sent: an exclamation point (!) indicates

that the local device received an echo, and a period (.) indicates that the server timed out while

awaiting the reply. If the connection between the two devices is good, the system will display a series

of exclamation points (! ! !) or [ok]. If the connection fails, the system will display a series of periods

( . . . ) or [timed out] or [failed].

To verify the connection between the router and a remote host, issue the ping command followed by

the name or Internet Protocol (IP) address of the remote server, then press Return. Although the

ping command supports conﬁgurable options, the defaults, including interface processor as the

protocol, are enabled when you enter a host name or address on the same line as the ping command.

For a description of the conﬁgurable options, refer to the appropriate software documentation.

The following example shows a successful ping:

The following example shows the results of a failed ping:

If the connection fails, check the physical connection to the remote ﬁle server and verify that you

are using the correct address or name, then ping the server again. If you are unable to establish a

good connection, contact your network administrator or refer to the end of this document for

instructions on contacting technical assistance.

Uploading (Copying) the Conﬁguration File

Before you remove the RP and replace it with the RSP7000, you should upload the router's

conﬁguration ﬁle to a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) ﬁle server, or else the conﬁguration

stored in the RP's Flash memory will be lost when you replace it. Before you upload (copy) the

running conﬁguration to the TFTP ﬁle server, ensure the following:

You have a connection to the router either with a console terminal connected to the RP console

port, or remotely through a Telnet session.

The router is connected to a network supporting a ﬁle server (remote host).

The remote host supports the TFTP application.

You have the interface processor address or name of the remote host available.
