In this example:
•The exclamation points (!!!) appear as the source file is being downloaded to the destination device.
•The C characters indicate that a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is being calculated during the downloading process. The CRC verifies that the file is correctly downloaded to the destination device (the flash memory card inserted in slot 0).
Copying a Cisco IOS Software Image into a Flash Memory Card
You can copy a Cisco IOS software image to a flash memory card at any time for later use.
Before you copy an image be sure that:
•You have a formatted flash memory card inserted in RP slot 0 or slot 1. See the “Formatting a New Flash Memory Card” section on page
•You know the name of the file you want to copy to the flash memory card.
•You have a valid, bootable Cisco IOS software image stored in the onboard flash memory SIMM, enabling you to start the router.
•The bootable Cisco IOS software image that you want to copy to the flash memory card exists on a TFTP server somewhere in the network.
•You have access to the network TFTP server by means of a configured and fully functional network interface on your system.
Note To ensure access to the network TFTP server, you must configure a network interface using the setup command facility. See the “Using Setup for Configuration Changes” section on page
