[c-nsp] ASR9900 - Copy files from USB key

Thu May 16 00:28:31 EDT 2019

Thanks Guys!!!

It’s showing up as disk2: using a 4G USB Key formatted as FAT32

Works on 9906 running 6.3.2 64-bit, 6.5.3 64-bit

Going to try installing the software via a USB key next week. Right now it’s taking about  1 ½ Hours to upload the 1.3G iso’s using http download.  Painfully slow. And don’t let your session timeout.

If you do a "dir ?" it should show you the possabilities... often "usb0:".  The size of the usb stick matters sometimes.  Try a small < 8G stick.

I've definitely copied files from a USB stick onto an ASR9001, so I
can't imagine why you wouldn't be able to on a 990x platform. Pretty
sure I did it on a 9006 with RP880s, but it's been awhile.

The trick is usually figuring out the correct device name. In my travels
I've seen "usb:", "disk2:" ... ymmv.
