In this example, the exclamation points (!!!) appear as the source file is being downloaded (copied) to the destination device. The “C” characters indicate that a CRC is being calculated during the downloading process. The CRC verifies that the file has been correctly copied to the destination device (the Flash memory card inserted in PCMCIA slot 0).

Step 4 Reboot the system.

This completes the procedure for copying a bootable image onto a Flash memory card.

Copying Cisco IOS Software Images between Flash Memory Cards

As future releases of Cisco IOS software become available, you will receive each image as a file booted from a network TFTP server, as a file on floppy disk, or as a file on a Flash memory card.

The procedures in this section tell you how to use a newly released Cisco IOS software image on a Flash memory card in a system that has (1) an older Cisco IOS image residing on a Flash memory card inserted in PCMCIA slot 0 and (2) a default Cisco IOS software boot image stored in the onboard Flash memory SIMM on the RP.

In this procedure, you will be copying an updated Cisco IOS software image from a new Flash memory card onto a Flash memory card containing an old Cisco IOS software image.

For purposes of this procedure, the following filenames apply:

•

•

image.new—The new image on the new Flash memory card.

image.old—The old image on the old Flash memory card inserted in slot 0.

•image.boot—The bootable Cisco IOS software image stored in the onboard Flash memory SIMM. (This image is used by default to boot the system if no other bootable image is available.)
