Quick Start Software Upgrade
The following instructions provide a quick start version of upgrading the software running the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers. These instructions assume you have access to the consolidated package and that the files will be stored in a bootflash: file system that is not storing any previously installed subpackages or consolidated packages and that has enough room for the file or files.
To upgrade the software using a quick start version, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Copy the consolidated package into bootflash: using the copy URL-to-image bootflash: command.
Step 2 If you want to run the router using individual subpackages, enter the “request platform software package expand file bootflash: image-name command”. If you want to run the router using a consolidated package, skip this step.
