Chapter 3 Initial Switch Router Configurations

Using the Boot Flash Memory SIMM

Backing Up a System Image to a TFTP Server

To create a backup copy of your system image, you can copy system images from boot flash memory to a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server.

In some implementations of TFTP, you must create a dummy file on the TFTP server and give it read, write, and execute permissions before copying the file over it. Refer to your TFTP documentation for more information.

Tips Before you copy software between the network server and boot flash memory in the switch router, do the following:

Make sure you have access to the network server, and obtain its IP address and name.

Verify that the server has sufficient room to accommodate the Cisco IOS software image.

Check the filename requirements and file space of the network server.

To create a backup of the system software on a TFTP server, use the following steps beginning in privileged EXEC mode:

 

Command

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

Router# dir bootflash:

Displays the contents of boot flash memory,

 

 

including the names of the images that

 

 

currently reside there.

 

 

Note the name of the image file you want to

 

 

copy.

Step 2

 

 

Router# copy bootflash: tftp:

Copies a file from boot flash memory to a

 

 

TFTP server. Be sure to include a colon at the

 

 

end of the tftp parameter as shown in this

 

 

example.

 

 

 

The following example demonstrates copying a specified system image file from the boot flash memory to the default TFTP server:

Router# dir bootflash:
