Yes. When the router reboots, it will load and uncompress the image. I don't know if the filename matters, but I used .MZ The first time I tried it, it failed for some reason. It's worked each time I tried since. The file might have been corrupted the first time, or the compression failed or something. Suffice to say, try it until it works. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Sharad Sent: Thursday, August 17, 2000 3:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How to use mzmaker Hi Folks I need some help from anyone who has used the MZMaker utility. I downloaded the MZMaker utility and used it to compress the IOS eg "mzmaker c2500-jos56i-l.120-9.bin c2500-jos56i-l.120-9.mz" After it has compressed the image, do I copy it to my router from the TFTP server using the "copy tftp flash" command... Do I have to rename the ".mz" file to ".bin" before I do that. Please let me know the steps I should take to carry out this procedure Thanks SV ___________________________________ UPDATED Posting Guidelines: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/guide.html FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___________________________________ UPDATED Posting Guidelines: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/guide.html FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
