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. There are two ways to load the Cisco IOS image: from Flash memory or from a TFTP server on the network.

1. Flash memory

Information stored in Flash memory is not vulnerable to 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-config Building configuration...

[OK] Router# exit Router>
