Chapter 5 Maintaining the Cisco uBR7200 Series Router
Flash Memory Card
Adding a New Image to the Flash Memory Card
Step 1
Boot the Cisco uBR7200 series router. By default, the file boot.image is used.
Step 2
Enable the router as follows:
Router>
enable
Password: <
password
>
Router#
Step 3
Insert the new flash memory card into slot 1.
Step 4
Use the following command to copy the file new.image in slot 1 to the flash memory card in slot 0,
only
if
there is enough memory space for the two images to coexist. If there is not enough memory space,
proceed to Step 5.
Router#
copy slot1:new.image slot0:new.image
Note
You can also enter the preceding command as
copy slot1:new.image slot0:
.
Step 5
Use the following series of commands to designate the file new.image (which is on the flash memory
card in slot 0) as the default boot image:
Router#
configure terminal
Router(config)#
no boot system
Router(config)#
boot system flash slot0:new.image
Router(config)#
^z
Router#
copy running-config startup-config
Router#
reload
When the system reloads, it boots the file new.image
from the flash memory card in slot 0.
Reformatting a Flash Memory Card
Depending on the circumstances, you might need to use a flash memory card from another system to
copy images or back up configuration files; however, you cannot boot from a flash memory card that was
formatted on another type of system. You must reformat the card before you can use it as a boot source.
(Use only Type II PCMCIA flash memory cards provided by Cisco.)
Note
To avoid potential problems when inserting spare flash memory cards in your Cisco uBR7200 series
router, Cisco recommends that you reformat all of your flash memory cards on a Cisco uBR7200 series
router running Cisco IOS Release 12.0(5)T1 or later during your regularly scheduled service times.
Caution
The following formatting procedure erases all information on the flash memory card. To prevent the loss
of important data that might be stored on a flash memory card, proceed carefully. If you want to save the
data on a flash memory card, copy the data to a server before you format the card.
