Switching Routing/IPMUX Modes
To switch between IPMux and dynamic routing modes, a valid software license must be installed on the AR1202
and AR1204 router. Contact Foundry and provide the serial number for the router.
Switching to Routing Mode
To switch from IPMux to dynamic routing mode, issue the following command:
Foundry-AR1204/configure# system routing
A message is displayed warning you to issue the save local command before the router reboots and you must
confirm that you want to change to routing mode. Enter Y and press the Return key. The AR1202 and AR1204
reboots into dynamic routing mode.
Switching to IPMux Mode
To switch from dynamic routing to IPMux mode, issue the following command:
Foundry-AR1204/configure# no system routing
A message is displayed warning you to issue the save local command before the router reboots and you must
confirm that you want to change to IPMux mode. Enter Y and press the Return key. The AR1202 and AR1204
reboots into IPMux mode.
Boot Process
When power is applied to the Foundry system, the Flash is checked for a downloadable boot image. If a boot
image file is found in the Flash, the file is executed. Otherwise, the boot image is executed from the factory image
stored in the boot ROM. Next, the Foundry operating system is loaded from the AR01_#### file residing in the
Flash. Power-up diagnostics such as flash test, memory test, etc. are run and then the Ethernet and WAN
interfaces are installed. The router is then configured using settings previously saved in the system.cfg file. Once
these settings are configured, the router is ready for operation and user login.
Upgrading System Software
The Foundry command line interface (CLI) provides commands that allow you to upgrade the AR1202 and
AR1204 router with new software. Every system is furnished with a software image file (AR01_####) and a boot
image file (T1000.bin). Using the TFTP protocol, the latest versions of these files can be loaded onto a Foundry
router from any accessible TFTP server.
