Hi Rakesh,

You need to do an install of the AXP software.

For details on how to perform an SRE install, refer to page 6 of the AXP 1.6.1 Release Notes. Use option 1 in the "Clean Installing Cisco AXP 1.6.1" section. You can find the release notes here: http://developer.cisco.com/web/axp/docs

In Brief you can issue the following command from the router to install the AXP software

service-module SM <slot>/0 install url ftp://<ftp server ip address>/<ftp server directory>/axp-k9.sme.1.6.1.pkg

Thanks,
Anusha
