Using CompactFlash Memory Cards
Cisco 3800 series routers, Cisco 2800 series routers, and Cisco 1800 series routers use external
CompactFlash (CF) memory cards to store the system image, some software feature data, and
configuration files. The CF memory cards use the following file systems. The file system that is
supported depends on router model:
•
Class B flash file system, also known as the
low-end file system
(LEFS)
•
Class C flash file system, similar to the standard DOS file system
