Copying Cisco Ios Software Images Between Flash Memory Cards - Cisco Gigabit Switch Router 12008 Installation And Configuration Manual

Step 4
This completes the procedure for copying a bootable image onto a Flash memory card.

Copying Cisco IOS Software Images between Flash Memory Cards

As future releases of Cisco IOS software become available, you will receive each image as
a file booted from a network TFTP server, as a file on floppy disk, or as a file on a Flash
memory card.
The procedures in this section tell you how to use a newly released Cisco IOS software
image on a Flash memory card in a system that has (1) an older Cisco IOS image residing
on a Flash memory card inserted in PCMCIA slot 0 and (2) a default Cisco IOS software
boot image stored in the onboard Flash memory SIMM on the RP.
In this procedure, you will be copying an updated Cisco IOS software image from a new
Flash memory card onto a Flash memory card containing an old Cisco IOS software image.
For purposes of this procedure, the following filenames apply:
•
image.new—The new image on the new Flash memory card.
•
image.old—The old image on the old Flash memory card inserted in slot 0.
•
image.boot—The bootable Cisco IOS software image stored in the onboard Flash
memory SIMM. (This image is used by default to boot the system if no other bootable
image is available.)

In this example, the exclamation points (!!!) appear as the source file is being
downloaded (copied) to the destination device. The "C" characters indicate that
a CRC is being calculated during the downloading process. The CRC verifies
that the file has been correctly copied to the destination device (the Flash
memory card inserted in PCMCIA slot 0).
Reboot the system.
