Note
In the preceding example, the exclamation points (!) appear as the file is downloaded, and the “c”
characters signify calculation of the checksum, which is a verification that the file has been correctly
downloaded to the Flash memory card.
Using Additional Flash Memory Commands
There are additional commands related to the bootflash Flash memory in the Cisco 7200 series router
(called bootflash) and in PCMCIA Flash memory cards. The following example assumes you are
currently accessing the Flash memory card in PCMCIA slot 0. You can determine which PCMCIA slot
you are accessing using the pwd command as follows:
Router# pwd
slot0
You can move between Flash memory media using the cd [bootflash: | slot0: | slot1:] command:
Router# cd slot0:
slot0
Router# cd slot1:
Router# pwd
slot1
You can list the directory of any Flash memory media using the dir [ bootflash: | slot0: | slot1: ]
command:
Router# dir
-#- -length- -----date/time------ name
1 4601977 May 19 2000 09:42:19 myfile1
6 679 May 19 2000 05:43:56 todays–config
7 1 May 19 2000 09:54:53 fun1
You can delete a file from any Flash memory media using the delete command:
Router# delete slot0:fun1
Router# dir
-#- -length- -----date/time------ name
1 4601977 May 19 2000 09:42:19 myfile1
6 679 May 19 2000 05:43:56 todays–config
To verify that the delete command was successful, use the
dir /deleted
command to view the deleted files.
Note
Files that are deleted are simply marked as deleted, but still occupy space in Flash memory. To remove
the files, use the squeeze command.
You can permanently removes files, which are marked as deleted, and push together all other undeleted
files to eliminate spaces between them using the squeeze command:
Router# squeeze slot0:
All deleted files will be removed, proceed? [confirm]
Squeeze operation may take a while, proceed? [confirm]
ebESZ
To prevent loss of data because of sudden power loss, the “squeezed” data is temporarily saved to a
special location of Flash memory.
