VIP4 Maintenance Procedures

Step 3 After you verify that there is sufficient space available in Flash memory for the new image, use the command copy tftp:filename [ flash slot0 slot1 ]:filename to copy an image to Flash memory. (The file source is tftp:filename, and [ flash slot0 slot1 ]:filename is the destination in onboard Flash memory or on either of the Flash memory cards.)

An example of the copy tftp:filename command follows:

Router# copy tftp:vip11-1 slot0:vip11-1

20575008 bytes available on device slot0, proceed? [confirm] Address or name of remote host [1.1.1.1]?

Step 4 Use the show flash command to verify that the microcode has been copied to Flash memory. The output should display the filename of the image you copied to Flash memory (vip11-1in the following example):

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# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

Router(config)#

Step 6 Specify that you are changing the microcode for the VIP4 (microcode vip4), and that it will load from Flash memory (flash slot0 or slot1). Then add the filename of the new microcode image to be loaded from Flash memory:

Router(config)# microcode vip4 flash slot0:vip11-1

Step 7 To exit configuration mode, 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 VIP4 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# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

Router(config)# microcode reload
