4. Save the configuration file to your start up configuration. This step
saves the configuration to NVRAM.

In this example, the buffer size is set to 50000 bytes:
Router1# configure terminal
Router1(config)# boot buffersize 50000
^Z
Router1# copy running-config startup-config
Verify the Image in Flash Memory
Before booting from Flash memory, verify that the checksum of the
image in Flash memory matches the checks um listed in the README
file that was distributed with the system software image. The check
sum of the image in Flash memory is displayed at the bottom of the
screen when you issue th copy tftp flash command. The RE
ADME file is copied to the network server automatically when you in-
stall the system software imag e on the server.
Note: If the checksum value does not match the value in the
README file, do not reboot the router. Instead, issue the
copy command and compa re the checksums again. If the
checksum is repeatedly wrong, copy the original system
software image back into Flash memory before you re boot
the router from Flash memory. If y ou have a corrupted
image in Flash memory and try to boot from Flash, the
router will start the system image contained in ROM
(assuming that booting from a network server is not
configured). If ROM does not contain a fully functional
system image, the router will not function and must be
reconfigured through a direct c onsol e port c on n ection.
Display System Image and Configuration Information
Perform these tasks in EXEC mode to display information about sys-
tem software, system image files, and configuration files:
1. List information about Flash memory, i ncl udi ng s y s tem image
