MANAGING
A CISCO INTERNETWORK
BOOT SYSTEM COMMANDS
In case the
flash memory is corrupted, then these powerful commands give us the ability to
load IOS from different locations.
Router(config)#boot
system ?
WORD TFTP filename or URL
flash Boot from flash memory
ftp Boot from a server via ftp
mop Boot from a Decnet MOP server
rcp Boot from a server via rcp
rom Boot from rom
tftp Boot from a tftp server
Router(config)#boot
system flash c2800nm-advsecurityk9-mz.124-12.bin
The above
command configures the router to boot the IOS listed in it. This may be used to
test a new loaded IOS.
Router(config)#boot
system tftp c2800nm-advsecurityk9-mz.124-12.bin 10.12.2.5
Router(config)#boot
system rom
CHECKING THE BOOT OPTIONS OF IOS
Router(config)#boot
system rom
Router(config)#do
show run | include boot system
boot system flash
c2800nm-advsecurityk9-mz.124-12.bin
boot system
tftp c2800nm-advsecurityk9-mz.124-12.bin 10.12.2.5
boot system rom
Router(config)#
These configurations are called
the BACK UP ROUTINE for the IOS.
BACKING UP AND RESTORING THE CISCO IOS
Ã
ESSENTIALS FOR BACKING UP OF THE IOS
- Making sure you can access the network server.
- Ensure that the network server has adequate space for
the code image.
- Verify the filename naming and path requirement.
- TFTP server software must be running on the
administrator’s workstation.
- The Ethernet connection between administrator and
router must be made with a cross over cable.
- The workstation and Ethernet interface must be on the
same subnet.
- The copy flash
tftp command must be supplied the IP address of the workstation if you
are copying from the flash
- And if you are copying into flash, you need to verify
that there is enough room in the flash memory to accommodate the file to
be copied.
à BACKING UP IOS IN FLASH MEMORY
- First verify the flash memory by using the command,
Router#show flash
- Now check the connectivity with tftp server by
pinging its I.P, e.g. Router#ping 10.12.2.5
- Now copy the contents of flash into tftp server
Router#copy tftp
flash
