Specifying the
Boot Method

You can enter multiple boot commands in the configuration in
NVRAM to provide a backup method for loading the Cisco IOS image
onto the router. The router boots using the first boot command that
succeeds. If you enter multiple boot commands, the router executes
them in the order they are entered. There are two ways to load the
Cisco IOS image: from Flash memory or from a TFTP server on the
network.

1.

Flash memory

Information stored in Flash memory is not vulnerable to network
failures that might occur when you load system software from
servers. In this example, replace filename with the filename of the
Cisco IOS image:

Router> enable

Password: enablepassword

Router# configure terminal

Router (config)# boot system flash filename

Router (config)# Ctrl-Z

Router# copy running-config startup-config

Building configuration...

[OK]

Router# exit
