Bit 13 determines the server response to a bootload failure. Setting bit 13 causes the server to load operating software from Flash memory after five unsuccessful attempts to load a boot file from the network. Clearing bit 13 causes the server to continue attempting to load a boot file from the network indefinitely. By factory default, bit 13 is cleared to 0.

Enabling Booting from Flash Memory

To enable booting from Flash memory, set configuration register bits 3, 2, 1, and 0 to a value between 2 and 15 in conjunction with the boot system flash [filename] configuration command.

To enter configuration mode while in the system software image and specify a Flash filename from which to boot, enter the configure terminal command at the enable prompt, as follows:

Router# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

Router(config)# boot system flash [filename]

To disable Break and enable the boot system flash command, enter the config-registercommand with the value shown in the following example:

Router(config)# config-reg 0x0102

Router(config)# ^Z

Router#

Copying to Flash Memory

Copying a new image to Flash memory might be required whenever a new image or maintenance release becomes available. You cannot copy a new image into Flash memory while the system is running from Flash memory.

Use the command copy tftp:filename [ bootflash slot0 slot1 ]:filename for the copy procedure.

Where tftp:filename is the source of the file and [ bootflash slot0 slot1 ]:filename is the destination in onboard Flash memory or on either of the Flash memory cards.

An example of the copy tftp:filename command follows:

Router# copy tftp:myfile1 slot0:myfile1
