Step 5 | To ensure that the new microcode is used when you reboot the system, add the appropriate |
| commands to the configuration file. To modify the configuration file, enter the configure |
| terminal command, as follows: |
| Router# config t |
| Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. |
| Router(config)# |
Step 6 | Specify that you are changing the microcode for the VIP (microcode vip), and that it will |
| load from Flash memory (flash) . Then add the filename of the new microcode image to be |
| loaded from Flash: |
| Router(config)# microcode vip flash |
Step 7 | To save the configuration file, press |
Step 8 | Copy the new configuration to nonvolatile |
| Router# copy |
| The microcode reload command is automatically added to your running configuration. |
| The new VIP microcode image will load automatically the next time the system boots or |
| reinitializes. |
Step 9 | To load the new microcode immediately, you can issue the microcode reload configuration |
| command (you must be in Configuration mode to enter this command): |
| Router# config t |
| Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. |
| Router(config)# microcode reload |
| Immediately after you enter the microcode reload command and press Return, the system |
| reloads all microcode. Configuration mode remains enabled; after the reload is complete, |
| press |
Step 10 | To verify that the VIP is using the correct microcode, issue the show |
| show controllers cbus command, which indicates the currently loaded and running |
| microcode version for each interface processor and the SP or SSP in the Cisco 7000 series |
| routers. |
| Router# show controllers cbus |
This completes the procedure for downloading microcode to Flash memory.
