Using the Flash File System

Using the Flash File System

The Flash File system is a tool that is used to manage Flash files such as router image files and router configuration files. Each router on which Flash files are maintained must be configured for Flash administration. For instructions on configuring for Flash administration, as well as detailed help of the functions of the Flash File System, see the online help for this product.

The Flash File system is supported by all routers in the Cisco 7000 series, which includes the Cisco 7000, 7010, 7204, 7206, 7505, 7507, and 7513.
