System Image and Microcode Commands

This chapter describes the function and displays the syntax for system images and microcode commands. For more information about defaults and usage guidelines, see the corresponding chapter of the Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference.

copy verify

The verify or verify flash command replaces this command. Refer to the descriptions of the verify and verify flash commands for more information.

copy verify bootflash

The verify bootflash command replaces this command. Refer to the description of the verify bootflash command for more information.

copy xmodem

To copy a Cisco IOS image from a local or remote computer (such as a PC, Macintosh, or UNIX workstation) to Flash memory on a Cisco 3600 series router using the Xmodem protocol, use the copy xmodem EXEC command.

copy xmodem device:[partition-number:][filename]

device	One of the following devices, which must be followed by a colon (:): · flash--Internal Flash memory · slot0--Flash memory card in PCMCIA slot 0 · slot1--Flash memory card in PCMCIA slot 1
partition-number	(Optional) Partition number of the destination Flash memory device. You must enter a colon (:) after the partition number if a filename follows it.
filename	(Optional) Name of the destination file.

copy ymodem

To copy a Cisco IOS image from a local or remote computer (such as a PC, Macintosh, or UNIX workstation) to Flash memory on a Cisco 3600 series router using the Ymodem protocol, use the copy ymodem EXEC command.

copy ymodem device:[partition-number:][filename]

device	One of the following devices, which must be followed by a colon (:): · flash--Internal Flash memory · slot0--Flash memory card in PCMCIA slot 0 · slot1--Flash memory card in PCMCIA slot 1
partition-number	(Optional) Partition number of the destination Flash memory device. You must enter a colon (:) after the partition number if a filename follows it.
filename	(Optional) Name of the destination file.

microcode

To specify the location of the microcode that you want to download from Flash memory into the writable control store (WCS) on a Cisco 7000 series with RSP7000 or Cisco 7500 series, use the microcode global configuration command. Use the no form of this command to load the microcode bundled with the system image.

microcode interface [flash file-id [slot] | system [slot]]
no microcode interface [flash file-id [slot] | system [slot]]

interface	One of the following interface processor names: aip, cip, eip, feip, fip, fsip, hip, mip, sip, sp, ssp, trip, vip, or vip2.
flash	(Optional) If the flash keyword is specified, a file-id argument is required, unless you are using the no microcode interface flash command.
filename	(Optional) Filename of the microcode in Flash memory that you want to download. This argument is only used with the flash keyword. If you use the flash keyword, the name of the microcode file in Flash is required unless the command is no microcode interface flash. (This command results in the same default condition as the command microcode interface rom, which indicates that the card should be loaded from its onboard ROM microcode.)
file-id	Specifies a device:filename of the microcode file to download. The colon (:) is required. Valid devices are as follows: · bootflash--Internal Flash memory. · slot0--First PCMCIA slot. · slot1--Second PCMCIA slot. Slave devices such as slaveslot0 are invalid. The slave's file system is not available during microcode reloads. The filename is the name of the microcode file.
slot	Number of the slot. Range is 0 to 15.
system	(Optional) If system is specified, the router loads the microcode from the microcode bundled into the system image you are running for that interface type.

microcode reload

To signal to the Cisco 7000 series with RSP7000 or Cisco 7500 series that all microcode configuration commands have been entered and the processor cards should be reloaded, use the microcode reload global configuration command.

microcode reload

show flh-log

To view the system console output generated during the Flash load helper operation, use the show flh-log privileged EXEC command.

show flh-log

show microcode

To show the microcode bundled into a Cisco 7000 series with RSP7000 or Cisco 7500 series system, use the show microcode EXEC command.

show microcode

verify

On the Cisco 1600 series, Cisco 3600 series, and Cisco 7000 family, to verify the checksum of a file on a Flash memory device, use the verify EXEC command. This command replaces the copy verify and copy verify flash commands.

verify [device:] filename (Cisco 7000 family)
verify device:[partition-number:][filename] (Cisco 1600 series and Cisco 3600 series)

device:	(Optional for Cisco 7000 family) Device containing the file whose checksum is being verified. The colon (:) is required. Valid devices are as follows: · flash--Internal Flash memory in the Cisco 1600 series and Cisco 3600 series. This is the only valid device for the Cisco 1600 series. · bootflash--Internal Flash memory in the Cisco 7000 family. · slot0--First PCMCIA slot on the Cisco 3600 series and Cisco 7000 family. · slot1--Flash memory in the second PCMCIA slot on the Cisco 3600 series and Cisco 7000 family. · slavebootflash--Internal Flash memory on the slave RSP card of a Cisco 7507 or Cisco 7513 configured for HSA. · slaveslot0--First PCMCIA slot of the slave RSP card on a Cisco 7507 or Cisco 7513 configured for HSA. · slaveslot1--Second PCMCIA slot of the slave RSP card on a Cisco 7507 or Cisco 7513 configured for HSA. When you omit this argument, the system verifies the checksum of the specified file on the current working device.
filename	Name of a file on the specified Flash device. The file can be of any type. The maximum filename length is 63 characters. The filename is optional for the Cisco 1600 series and Cisco 3600 series.
partition-number	(Optional) Partition number to verify. You must enter a colon (:) after the partition number if a filename follows it.

verify bootflash

To verify the checksum of a boot image in boot Flash memory, use the verify bootflash EXEC command. This command replaces the copy verify bootflash command.

verify bootflash

verify flash

To verify the checksum of Flash memory, use the verify flash EXEC command. This command replaces the copy verify and copy verify flash commands.

verify flash

xmodem

To copy a Cisco IOS image to a Cisco 1600 series or Cisco 3600 series router using the ROM monitor and the Xmodem or Ymodem protocol, use the xmodem ROM monitor command.

xmodem [-c] [-y] [-e] [-f] [-r] [-x] [-s data-rate] [filename]

-c	(Optional) CRC-16 checksumming, which is more sophisticated and thorough than standard checksumming.
-y	(Optional) Uses Ymodem protocol for higher throughput.
-e	(Optional) Erases the first partition in Flash memory before starting the download. This option is only valid for the Cisco 1600.
-f	(Optional) Erases all of Flash memory before starting the download. This option is only valid for the Cisco 1600.
-r	(Optional) Downloads the file to DRAM. The default is Flash memory.
-x	(Optional) Do not execute Cisco IOS image on completion of the download.
-s data-rate	(Optional) Sets the console port's data rate during file transfer. Values are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, and 115200 bps. The default rate is specified in the configuration register. This option is only valid for the Cisco 1600 series.
filename	(Optional) Filename to copy. This argument is ignored when -r is specified, because only one file can be copied to DRAM. On the Cisco 1600 series, files are loaded to the ROM for execution.
