Loading Images on CiscoPro Routers When Using RSL
Loading Images on CiscoPro Routers When Using RSL
Prerequisites
By default, non-CiscoPro software images cannot be loaded on CiscoPro routers; however, RSL has
a utility to permanently upgrade CiscoPro routers so they can accept the Cisco IOS Release 11.3
images.
When a CiscoPro router is upgraded, the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
SysObjectID MIB value (used for network management), is changed to that of a normal Cisco router.
The software banner also changes and no longer identifies the upgraded platform as a CiscoPro
product.
Note After this upgrade, CiscoVision will no longer recognize your router.
If you choose this permanent upgrade, use the appropriate version of CiscoWorks for Windows
below to replace CiscoVision as the network manager:
• CPW-CVCW-U to upgrade CiscoVision to CiscoWorks Windows (managing up to 50 nodes).
• CPW-CVCW-ENT-U to upgrade CiscoVision to CiscoWorks Windows (managing up to 500
nodes).

Upgrading Your CiscoPro Router
Note The following steps are only necessary for the CiscoPro CPA1000, CPA1600, CPA2500 and
CPA4500 platforms. Other CiscoPro platforms can be upgraded by simply loading a non-CiscoPro
software image.
To upgrade your CiscoPro CPA1000, CPA1600, CPA2500 or CPA3600 router, follow these steps:
Step 1 Connect to a CiscoPro Cisco 2500 series router and select a Cisco IOS Release 11.3
image from the image list.
A message box tells you that the router requires a permanent upgrade to load the image.
Step 2 At the prompt, enter yes to indicate that you do want RSL to upgrade your CiscoPro
router and continue loading the selected image.
RSL downloads, performs the upgrade, reboots the router, and displays a message to
confirm the upgrade.
Note The Cisco 2500 series upgrade utility filename is cpa2500-upgrade-l.113-9.T. The
upgrade utility is a special file—not a Cisco IOS run-time image, and must be located in
the Images directory. If it is not, the upgrade utility informs you that the image is not
present.
