Step 7 Verify that the image was copied to Flash memory using the show flash command.
Booting from Flash Memory
When configuring the system to boot from Flash memory, first configure no boot system and then
configure boot system flash filename. Configuring no boot system clears all the boot system
commands, which are stored in the order that they are entered.
Note We recommend that you first use the no boot system command to clear all boot system
commands.
From the enable-mode prompt (#) on the router, enter the EXEC command write terminal to see if
the boot system flash command line in the configuration file has the filename argument, as follows:
Router> enable
Password:
Router# write term
Current configuration:
!
(text deleted)
boot system flash
(text deleted)
If the boot system flash command does not appear in the system configuration, you can configure
the router to automatically boot from the image in Flash memory by following this procedure:
Step 1 Issue the configure terminal command in EXEC mode.
Step 2 Add the boot system flash filename system configuration command to the router’s
configuration, where filename is the name of the new software image.
Step 3 Write the configuration to NVRAM with the write memory or copy running-config
startup-config commands.
