Implementing Additional Configuration and Maintenance Tasks

Specifying Cisco IOS Image Used to Boot the System

Use the following series of commands to specify that a Cisco IOS software image is bootable. (In this
example, the file is named

new.image

.) Note that because the configuration register must be set to

0x2102, the

config-register

command is part of the sequence.

Router#

config terminal

Router(config)#

no boot system

Router(config)#

boot system flash slot0:new.image

Router(config)#

config-register 0x102

Crtl-z

Router#

copy running-config startup-config

Router#

reload

When the system reloads, it will boot the Cisco IOS software image from the Flash memory card or
Flash disk in slot 0.

Note

In the preceding example, the configuration register value 0x102 instructs the system to boot a
default Cisco IOS software image from Flash memory. If a network boot fails, the value 0x2102
instructs the system to ignore a break, and the value 0x0002 instructs the system to look in Flash
memory for this default Cisco IOS software image.

Software Commands Associated with Flash Memory

Following are software commands related to the onboard Flash memory on the GRP and the Flash
memory cards and Flash disks.

Note

If using an ATA Flash disk, replace any commands that include a

slot0:

or

slot1:

command argument

with a

disk0:

or

disk1:

command argument.

Determine which memory media you are accessing using the

pwd

command as follows:

Router#

pwd

slot0

Move between Flash memory media using the

cd

device-name

command, where

device-name

can be

slot1:

,

slot0:

, or

bootflash:

. Examples follow:

Router#

cd slot1:

Router#

pwd

slot1

Router#

cd slot0:

Router#

pwd

slot0

You can list the directory of Flash memory media using the

dir

[

device-name

] command, where

device-name

can be

slot0:

,

slot1:

, or

bootflash:

. An example of the

dir

command follows:

Router#

dir

-#- -length- -----date/time------ name
