Non-volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM) provides 2 MB of memory for
system configuration files, software register settings, and environmental
monitoring logs. Built-in lithium batteries retain the contents of NVRAM for a
minimum of 5 years. NVRAM is not user configurable and cannot be upgraded in
the field.
Use flash memory to store multiple Cisco IOS software and microcode images
that you can use to operate the router. You can download new images to flash
memory over the network (or from a local server) to replace an existing image, or
to add it as an additional image. The router can be booted (manually or
automatically) from any of the stored images in flash memory.
Flash memory also functions as a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server to
allow other servers to boot remotely from the stored images, or to copy them into
their own flash memory.
The system uses two types of flash memory:
Onboard flash memory (called bootflash)—Contains the Cisco IOS boot
•
image
Flash memory disks (or cards)—Contain the Cisco IOS software image
•
