Overview of Router Software Images
A router software image is a group of executable files that contain a version of the
router software for a router. You modify an image file to update or change the
software. The type of software image a router uses depends on the type of router.
Table 6-1
lists router software images by router type.
The image contains all executable files for the current router software. Most
executable files have an extension of .exe. The exceptions are protocol files on the
CN, FN, and LN routers, which use the extension .out, and the ATM Routing
Engine (ARE) slots, which use the extension .ppc. The .ppc files are equivalent to
.exe files. For example, instead of using ip.exe on an ARE slot, the router uses
ip.ppc.
