Chapter 3 Installing the Router

Using Flash Memory Cards in the RP

To copy a bootable Cisco IOS software image between Flash memory cards, follow these steps:

Step 1 Boot the router. For this example, the file named image.boot is the default boot image.

Step 2 Enter the enable command to enter privileged EXEC mode as follows:

Router> enable

Password: <password>

Router#

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

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

Note Take this step only if sufficient space is available on the Flash memory card in slot 0 to hold both the new image and the old image already resident on the Flash memory card.

Router# copy slot1:image.new slot0:image.new

Entering this command in the following form will achieve the same result:

Router# copy slot1:image.new slot0:

Step 5 Enter the following commands to designate the file named image.new in the Flash memory card in slot 0 as the new default system image for boot purposes:

Router# configure terminal

Router(config)# no boot system

Router(config)# boot system flash slot0:image.new

Ctrl-Z

Router# copy running-config startup-config

Router# reload

When the system reloads, the file image.new is booted from the Flash memory card in slot 0.
