Performing Other Configuration Tasks

Note In this procedure, it is assumed that the new Cisco IOS software image will fit on the old Flash memory card inserted in slot 0, together with the old image. If sufficient space is not available for both images on the old Flash memory card, use the delete command to delete files from the old Flash memory card; however, do not delete the image.old file. After deleting files, use the squeeze command to permanently remove the deleted files from the old Flash memory card. (For information on the use of the squeeze command, refer to the section entitled “Console Commands Associated with Flash Memory Use.” If, after you delete files and use the squeeze command, the two files still cannot coexist on the Flash memory card in slot 0, remove this card, place it in an antistatic bag for ESD protection, and store it in a safe place. Insert the new Flash memory card (containing image.new) in slot 0. Proceed to Step 5 in the following procedure and issue the command boot system flash slot0:image.new to designate the file image.new as the new default Cisco IOS software boot image.

To copy a bootable Cisco IOS software image between Flash memory cards, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Boot the router.

In this procedure, the file named image.boot is the default boot image.

Step 2 Enable the router to bring up the privileged EXEC mode prompt:

Router> enable

Password:

Router#

Step 3 Insert the new Flash memory card in PCMCIA slot 1.

Step 4 Issue the following command to copy the file image.new in slot 1 to the Flash memory card inserted in PCMCIA slot 0.

Note Take this step only if sufficient space is available on the old slot 0 Flash memory card to accommodate the new image (in addition to the old image it already contains).
