Cisco Systems VIP-4R/4T manual terminal command, as follows

	Versatile Interface Processor Functions
Step 5	To ensure that the new microcode is used when you reboot the system, add the appropriate
	commands to the configuration file. To modify the configuration file, enter the configure
	terminal command, as follows:
	Router# config t
	Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
	Router(config)#
Step 6	Specify that you are changing the microcode for the VIP (microcode vip), and that it will
	load from Flash memory (flash) . Then add the filename of the new microcode image to be
	loaded from Flash:
	Router(config)# microcode vip flash slot0:vip11-1
Step 7	To save the configuration file, press Ctrl-Z.
Step 8	Copy the new configuration to nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM):
	Router# copy running-config startup-config
	The microcode reload command is automatically added to your running configuration.
	The new VIP microcode image will load automatically the next time the system boots or
	reinitializes.
Step 9	To load the new microcode immediately, you can issue the microcode reload configuration
	command (you must be in Configuration mode to enter this command):
	Router# config t
	Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
	Router(config)# microcode reload
	Immediately after you enter the microcode reload command and press Return, the system
	reloads all microcode. Configuration mode remains enabled; after the reload is complete,
	press Ctrl-Zto exit from Configuration mode and return to the system prompt.
Step 10	To verify that the VIP is using the correct microcode, issue the show startup-configor
	show controllers cbus command, which indicates the currently loaded and running
	microcode version for each interface processor and the SP or SSP in the Cisco 7000 series
	routers.
	Router# show controllers cbus

This completes the procedure for downloading microcode to Flash memory.
