Chapter 4 Performing a Basic Configuration of the System
Using the Flash Memory Cards in the RSPs
•
The bootable image in onboard Flash memory is image.boot.
You will copy the new image from the new Flash memory card onto the Flash memory card that contains
the old image.
Note
The scenario assumes that the new image will fit on the Flash memory card in slot 0, alongside the old
image. If there is not enough available space, use the delete command to delete files from the Flash
memory card to make sufficient room for the new image; however, do not delete the image.old file. Then
use the squeeze command to remove these deleted files from the Flash memory card. If after you have
deleted files and used the squeeze command, the two files cannot coexist on the Flash memory card in
slot 0, remove this card (place it in an antistatic bag and store it in a safe place), and then insert the new
Flash memory card (with the file image.new) in slot 0. Proceed to Step 5 and use the command boot
system flash slot0:image.new to designate the file image.new as the default boot image.
Following is the procedure for copying bootable images between Flash memory cards:
Step 1
Boot the router. By default, the file image.boot will be used.
Step 2
Enable the router as follows:
Router> en
Password:
Router#
Step 3
Insert the new Flash memory card in slot 1.
Step 4
Use the following command to copy the file image.new 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:image.new slot0:image.new
The previous command can also be entered as copy slot1:image.new slot0:.
Step 5
Use the following series of commands to designate the file image.new (in the Flash memory card in slot
0) as the default boot image:
Router# config t
Router(config)# no boot system
Router(config)# boot system flash slot0:image.new
Crtl-Z
Router# copy running-config startup-config
Router# reload
When the system reloads, it will boot the file image.new from the Flash memory card in slot 0.
This completes the procedure for copying bootable images between Flash memory cards.
