Image Files for Customers Requiring Lawful Intercept

Deployments requiring Lawful Intercept (LI) functionality must use the LI-specific image files. These image files are available in a separate media pack on MOS and OSDC. LI-specific image files can be identified by the "LI" notation before the file extension.

All subsequent patches follow naming conventions with the LI modifier.

Boot Loader Requirements

All platforms require the Stage 3 boot loader that accompanies the ESBC image file, as distributed. Install the boot loader according to the instructions in the Installation and Platform Preparation Guide.
