verify
verify
To verify the checksum of a file on a flash memory file system, use the verify command.
verify [/md5] [flash-filesystem:] [filename] [expected-md5-signature]
Syntax Description
Defaults The current working device is specified.
Command Modes Privileged EXEC mode
Command History
Usage Guidelines Each software image that is distributed on the disk uses a single checksum for the entire image. This
checksum is displayed only when the image is copied into the flash memory.
The Readme file, which is included with the image on the disk, lists the name, file size, and checksum
of the image. Review the contents of the Readme file before loading or duplicating the new image so that
you can verify the checksum when you copy it into the flash memory or on to a server.
Use the verify /md5 command to verify the MD5 signature of a file before using it. This command
validates the integrity of a copied file by comparing a precomputed MD5 signature with the signature
that is computed by this command. If the two MD5 signatures match, the copied file is identical to the
original file.
You can find the MD5 signature posted on the Cisco.com page with the image.
You can use the verify /md5 command in one of the following ways:
• Verify the MD5 signatures manually by entering the verify /md5 filename command.
Check the displayed signature against the MD5 signature posted on the Cisco.com page.
• Allow the system to compare the MD5 signatures by entering the verify /md5
{flash-filesystem:filename} {expected-md5-signature} command.
/md5
(Optional) Verifies the MD5 signatures.
flash-filesystem: (Optional) Device where the fash resides; valid values are bootflash:,
slot0:, flash:, or sup-bootflash:.
filename (Optional) Name of the Cisco IOS image.
