Using the Bootflash Memory SIMM

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

	Command	Purpose
Step 1
	Router# dir bootflash:	Display the contents of bootflash 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:	Copy a file from bootflash memory to a TFTP
		server. Be sure to include a colon at the end of
		the tftp keyword, as shown in this example.

Copying a System Image from a TFTP Server to a Bootflash Memory SIMM

You can copy system image files from a TFTP server to the bootflash memory SIMM for use in booting the Layer 3 switch router.

It is a good idea to have a copy of the current system image on the bootflash memory SIMM in case the new image file that you copy from the TFTP server is corrupted.

Note You can also create a backup copy of your system image by copying the system image from bootflash memory to a TFTP server. You can maintain a known good image as a backup image on the TFTP server. If the new image file you copy from the TFTP server is corrupted, you can retrieve the known good backup copy of the system image file from the TFTP server.
