Specifying the
Boot Method You can enter multiple boot commands in the configuration in
NVRAM to provide a backup method for loading the Cisco IOS image
onto the router. The router boots using the first boot command that
succeeds. If you enter multiple boot commands, the router executes
them in the order they are entered. Th ere are two ways to load the
Cisco IOS image: from Flash memory or fr om a TF TP ser v er on the
network.

failures that might occur when you load system software from
servers. In this example, replace filename with the filename of the
Cisco IOS image:
Router> enable
Password: enablepassword
Router# configure terminal
Router (config)# boot system flash filename
Router (config)# Ctrl-Z
Router# copy running-config startup-confi g
