Upgrading CBOS on Cisco 675
Randy Lutton
All your settings should remain in tact (including NAT).
The only thing to be wary of is if you have the older 675 that have the
power transformer at the plug. Some of these units can't be flashed past
2.0.1
Good luck,
- Randy Lutton

For the most part, it keeps your settings. However, you will want a copy of
them, just in case. You will also want a copy of the 'monitor mode' install
procedure, even if you use one of the higher access methods, such as tftp,
just in case something goes wrong (a power outage or computer crash in the
middle of the upgrade, during the do not disturb portion, perhaps), and you
have to 'bring it back from the dead.'
However, if you are in PPP mode, and have manually opened any NAT ports, you
can erase them, and start over. While it should keep them, and the old
format is still recognized, CBOS 2.2 has a MUCH better and shorter method of
coding those entries (see the 2.2 release notes for details).

It cracked RC5-56 and DES (latest time < 24 hours, 01/19/99).
It is now working on RC5-64 and your computer can help too!

Nope, the config and the OS are stored in seperate portions of the memory.
Upgrade away!

upgraded to work with 2.2, or is it something you can do at the user end
and still be ok?
Thanks,

changing, but which must be the same at both ends). However, certain of the
fancier functions (such as adjusting the remote transmit power) may not work
if both ends are not up-to-date.

wondering if anyone has a copy of the 2.0.3 CBOS just in case for some
reason it doesn't want to cooperate and we need to "reinstall" so to
speak...and if that's even possible once one has upgrade to 2.2 (that is,
to downgrade if necessary).
Thanks again,
Jason
