Converting an Image for Other Types of Routers
If you want to run the same image on different types of Bay Networks routers in a
network, you can create an image for one type of router and convert the image to
run on other types of routers. For example, you might want to run the same
protocols on AN™ and BN™ routers in a network. You can customize an image
for the BN routers and then convert that image to run on the AN routers.
To convert an image to run on a different type of router:
1. Select File➔Change Format in the Image Builder window.
A list of image formats appears. The possible image formats are
• AFN
•AN
• ASN
•BN
•IN
• VME
• One board (AFN Flash for software versions lower than 8.10)
If the image format you want is grayed out, you have not loaded that image
into the Image Builder. Refer to “Proceeding When an Image Format Is Not
Available.”
2. Select a format from the list.
The image changes to the format you selected.
3. Save the modified image (refer to “Saving a Modified Image”).
Proceeding When an Image Format Is Not Available
If you cannot choose the image format you want when you try to create a new
image or convert an image for another type of router, you need to load the image
for that format into the Image Builder.
Note: You can only use this feature to convert to image formats that you
previously loaded into the Image Builder.
