Formatting Procedures for Flash Memory

We recommend that you erase the (Class B) flash memory to initialize with a Class B flash file system. The Class B flash file system is also known as the low end file system (LEFS).

Formatting Flash Memory as a DOS File System

To format the flash memory, or to remove the files from it, use the erase flash: command.

The following is sample output for formatting the flash memory, formatted with a Class B flash file system:

Router# erase flash:

Erasing the flash filesystem will remove all files! Continue? [confirm]
