verify

To verify the checksum of a file on a Flash device, use the verify EXEC command. This command replaces the copy verify and copy verify flash commands.

verify [device:]filename

Syntax Description

device:

Device containing the file whose checksum is being verified. The colon (:) is required. Valid devices are as follows:

bootflash: This device is the internal Flash memory.

sec-bootflash: The secondary internal Flash memory on the redundant route processor.

slot0: The first PC slot on the route processor card and is the initial default device.

sec-slot0: The first PC slot on the redundant route processor card. (Catalyst 8540 MSR)

slot1: The second PC slot on the route processor card.

sec-slot1: The second PC slot on the redundant route processor card. (Catalyst 8540 MSR)

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.

Default

The current working device is the default device.

Usage Guidelines

Use the verify command to verify the checksum of a file before using it. When you omit the device: argument, the system verifies the checksum of the specified file on the current working device.
