Router Memory Commands

Router Memory Commands

This chapter provides detailed descriptions of the commands used to maintain router memory.

For configuration information and examples, refer to the "Maintaining Router Memory" chapter in the Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

Flash Memory File System Types

Cisco platforms use one of three different Flash memory file system types. Some commands are supported on only one or two file system types. This chapter notes commands that are not supported on all file system types.

Refer to Table 28 to determine which Flash memory file system type your platform uses.


Table 28: Flash Memory File System Types
Type Platforms

Class A

Cisco 7000 family, C12000, LS1010

Class B

Cisco 1003, Cisco 1004, Cisco 1005, Cisco 2500 series, Cisco 3600 series, Cisco 4000 series, Cisco  AS5200

Class C

Cisco MC3810, disk0 and disk1 of SC3640

Replaced Commands

Commands in this chapter that have been replaced by new commands continue to perform their normal functions in the current release but are no longer documented. Support for these commands will cease in a future release. Table 29 maps the old commands with their replacements.


Table 29: Mapping Old Commands to New Commands
Old Command New Command

configure network

copy source-url system:running-config

configure overwrite-network

copy source-url nvram:startup-config

write memory

copy system:running-config nvram:startup-config

write network

copy system:running config destination-url

configure network

The copy source-url system:running-config command replaces the configure network command. Refer to the description of the copy command for further details.

configure overwrite-network

The copy source-url nvram: startup-config command replaces the configure overwrite-network command. Refer to the copy command for further details.

copy

To copy any file from a source to a destination, use the copy EXEC command.

copy [/erase] source-url destination-url

Syntax Description

/erase

(Optional) Erases the destination file system before copying.

source-url

The location of the source file or directory to be copied.

destination-url

The destination of the copied file or directory.

The exact format of the source and destination URLs varies according to the file or directory location. You may enter either a keyword for a particular file or a prefix for a file system type (not a file within a type).

Table 30 specifies two keyword shortcuts to URLs.


Table 30: Copy Command Keywords
Keyword Source or Destination

running-config

(Optional) Keyword shortcut for system:running-config, the current running configuration file. This keyword does not work in more and show file command syntaxes.

startup-config

(Optional) Keyword shortcut for nvram:startup-config, the configuration file used for initialization. This file is contained in NVRAM for all platforms except the Cisco  7000 family, which uses the CONFIG_FILE environment variable to specify the startup configuration. The Cisco 4500 series cannot use the copy running-config startup-config command.This keyword does not work in more and show file command syntaxes.

The next tables list prefixes by file system type. If you do not specify a prefix, the router looks for a file in the current directory.

Table 31 lists URL prefixes for Special (opaque) file systems.Table 32 lists them for network file systems, and Table 33 lists them for local writable storage.


Table 31: URL Prefixes for Special File Systems
Prefix Source or Destination

flh:

Source URL for flash load helper log files.

modem:

Destination url for loading modem firmware on Cisco 5200 and 5300 Series routers.

nvram:

Router's NVRAM. You can copy the startup configuration into or from NVRAM. You can also display the size of a private configuration file.

null:

Null destination for copies or files. You can copy a remote file to null to determine its size.

system:

Source or destination URL for system memory, which includes the running configuration.

xmodem:

Source destination for the file from a network machine that uses the Xmodem protocol.

ymodem:

Source destination for the file from a network machine that uses the Xmodem protocol.


Table 32: URL Prefixes for Network File Systems
Prefix Source or Destination

ftp:

Source or destination URL for File Transfer Protocol (FTP) network server. The syntax for this prefix is
ftp:[[//username [:password]@] location]/directory]/filename

rcp:

Source or destination URL for a Remote Copy Protocol (rcp) network server. The syntax for this prefix is rcp:[[//username@]location]/directory]/filename

tftp:

Source or destination URL for a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) network server. The syntax for this prefix is tftp:[[//location]/directory]/filename


Table 33: URL Prefixes for Local Writable Storage File Systems

Prefix

Source or Destination

bootflash:

Source or destination URL for Boot Flash memory.

disk0: and disk1:

Source or destination URL of rotating media.

flash:

Source or destination URL for Flash memory. This prefix is available on all platforms. For platforms which lack a flash: device, note that flash: is aliased to slot0:, allowing you to refer to the main Flash memory storage area on all platforms.

slavebootflash:

Source or destination URL for internal Flash memory on the slave RSP card of a router configured for HSA.

slaveram:

NVRAM on a slave RSP card of a router configured for HSA.

slaveslot0:

Source or destination URL of first PCMCIA card on a slave RSP card of a router configured for HSA.

slaveslot1:

Source or destination URL of second PCMCIA slot on a slave RSP card of a router configured for HSA.

slot0:

Source or destination URL of first PCMCIA Flash memory card.

slot1:

Source or destination URL of second PCMCIA Flash memory card.

Command Mode

EXEC

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3 T.

You can enter on the command line all necessary source- and destination- URL information and the username and password to use, or you can enter copy and have the router prompt you for any missing information.

If you enter information, choose one of the following three: running-config, startup-config, or a file system prefix (See tables above.) The location of a file system dictates the format of the source or destination URL.

The colon is required after the prefix. However, earlier commands, not requiring a colon, will remain supported, but unavailable in context-sensitive help.

The entire copying process may take several minutes and differs from protocol to protocol and from network to network.

In the prefix syntax for ftp:, rcp:, and tftp: the location is either an IP address or a host name. The filename is specified relative to the directory used for file transfers.

This section contains usage guidelines for the following topics:

Understanding Invalid Combinations of Source and Destination

Some invalid combinations of source and destination exist. Specifically, you cannot copy:

Understanding Character Descriptions

Table 34 describes the characters that you may see during processing of the copy command.


Table 34: Character Descriptions in the Copy Command
Character Description

!

For net transfers an exclamation point indicates that the copy process is taking place. Each exclamation point indicates the successful transfer of ten packets (512 bytes each).

.

For net transfers a period indicates the copy process timed out. Many periods in a row typically mean that the copy process may fail.

O

For net transfers an uppercase O indicates a packet was received out of order and the copy process may fail.

e

For flash erasures, a lowercase e indicates a device is being erased.

E

An uppercase E indicates an error. The copy process may fail.

V

A series of uppercase Vs indicates the progress during the verification of the image checksum.

Understanding Partitions

You cannot copy an image or configuration file to a Flash partition from which you are currently running. For example, if partition 1 is running the current system image, copy the configuration file or image to partition 2. Otherwise, the copy operation will fail.

You can identify the available Flash partitions by entering the show file system command.

Using rcp

The rcp protocol requires a client to send a remote username upon each rcp request to a server. When you copy a configuration file or image between the router and a server using rcp, the Cisco  IOS software sends the first valid username in the following list:

    1. The remote username specified in the copy command, if one is specified.

    2. The username set by the ip rcmd remote-username command, if the command is configured.

    3. The remote username associated with the current tty (terminal) process. For example, if the user is connected to the router through Telnet and was authenticated through the username command, the router software sends the Telnet username as the remote username.

    4. The router host name.

For the rcp copy request to process successfully, an account must be defined on the network server for the remote username. If the network administrator of the destination server did not establish an account for the remote username, this command will not run successfully. If the server has a directory structure, the configuration file or image is written to or copied from the directory associated with the remote username on the server. For example, if the system image resides in the home directory of a user on the server, specify that user's name as the remote username.

If you are writing to the server, the rcp server must be properly configured to accept the rcp write request from the user on the router. For UNIX systems, add an entry to the .rhosts file for the remote user on the rcp server. Suppose the router contains the following configuration lines:

hostname Rtr1
ip rcmd remote-username User0

If the router's IP address translates to Router1.company.com, then the .rhosts file for User0 on the rcp server should contain the following line:

Router1.company.com Rtr1

Refer to the documentation for your rcp server for more details.

If you are using a personal computer as a file server, the computer must support rsh.

Using FTP

The FTP protocol requires a client to send a remote username and password upon each FTP request to a server. When you copy a configuration file from the router to a server using FTP, the Cisco  IOS software sends the first valid username in the following list:

    1. The username specified in the copy command, if a username is specified.

    2. The username set by the ip ftp username command, if the command is configured.

    3. Anonymous.

The router send the first valid password in the following list:

    1. The password specified in the copy command, if a password is specified.

    2. The password set by the ip ftp password command, if the command is configured.

    3. The router forms a password username@routername.domain. The variable username is the username associated with the current session, routername is the configured host name, and domain is the domain of the router.

The username and password must be associated with an account on the FTP server. If you are writing to the server, the FTP server must be properly configured to accept the FTP write request from the user on the router.

If the server has a directory structure, the configuration file or image is written to or copied from the directory associated with the username on the server. For example, if the system image resides in the home directory of a user on the server, specify that user's name as the remote username.

Refer to the documentation for your FTP server for more details.

Use the ip ftp username and ip ftp password commands to specify a username and password for all copies. Include the username in the copy command if you want to specify a username for that copy operation only.

Storing Images on Servers

Use the copy flash: destination-url command (for example, copy flash: tftp:) to copy a system image or boot image from Flash memory to a network server. Use the copy of the image as a backup copy. Also, use it to verify that the copy in Flash memory is the same as that in the original file.

Copying from a Server to Flash Memory

Use the copy destination-url flash: command (for example, copy tftp: flash:) to copy an image from a server to Flash memory.

On Class B file system platforms, the system provides an option to erase existing Flash memory before writing onto it.

Caution Verify the image in Flash memory before booting the image.
Verifying Images

Before booting from Flash memory, verify that the checksum of the image in Flash memory matches the checksum listed in the README file that was distributed with the image by using the verify command. The checksum of the image in Flash memory is displayed when the copy command completes. The README file was copied to the server automatically when you installed the image.

Caution If the checksum values do not match, do not reboot the router. Instead, reissue the copy command and compare the checksums again. If the checksum is repeatedly wrong, copy the original image back into Flash memory before you reboot the router from Flash memory. If you have a corrupted image in Flash memory and try to boot from Flash memory, the router will start the system image contained in ROM (assuming booting from a network server is not configured). If ROM does not contain a fully functional system image, the router might not function and will have to be reconfigured through a direct console port connection.
Copying a Configuration File from a Server to the Running Configuration

Use the copy {ftp: | rcp: | tftp:} system:running-config command to load a configuration file from a network server to the router's running configuration. The configuration will be added to the running configuration as if the commands were typed in the command line interface. Thus, the resulting configuration will be a combination of the previous running configuration and the loaded configuration file, with the loaded configuration file having precedence.

You can copy either a host configuration file or a network configuration file. Accept the default value of host to copy and load a host configuration file containing commands that apply to one network server in particular. Enter network to copy and load a network configuration file containing commands that apply to all network servers on a network.

Copying a Configuration File from a Server to the Startup Configuration

Use the copy {ftp: | rcp: | tftp:} nvram:startup-config command to copy a configuration file from a network server to the router's startup configuration. These commands replace the startup configuration file with the copied configuration file.

Storing the Running or Startup Configuration on a Server

Use the copy system:running-config {ftp: | rcp: | tftp:} command to copy the current configuration file to a network server using FTP, rcp, or TFTP. Use the copy nvram:startup-config {ftp: | rcp: | tftp:} command to copy the startup configuration file to a network server.

The configuration file copy can serve as a backup copy.

Saving the Running Configuration to the Startup Configuration

Use the copy system:running-config nvram:startup-config command to copy the running configuration to the startup configuration.

Caution Some specific commands might not get saved to NVRAM. You will have to enter these commands again if you reboot the machine. These commands are noted in the documentation. We recommend that you keep a listing of these settings so you can quickly reconfigure your router after rebooting.

If you issue the copy system:running-config nvram:startup-config command from a bootstrap system image, a warning will instruct you to indicate whether you want your previous NVRAM configuration to be overwritten and configuration commands to be lost. This warning does not appear if NVRAM contains an invalid configuration or if the previous configuration in NVRAM was generated by a bootstrap system image.

On all platforms except Class A file system platforms, the copy system:running-config nvram:startup-config command copies the currently running configuration to NVRAM.

On the Class A Flash file system platforms, the copy system:running-config nvram:startup-config command copies the currently running configuration to the location specified by the CONFIG_FILE environment variable. This variable specifies the device and configuration file used for initialization. When the CONFIG_FILE environment variable points to NVRAM or when this variable does not exist (such as at first-time startup), the software writes the current configuration to NVRAM. If the current configuration is too large for NVRAM, the software displays a message and stops executing the command.

When the CONFIG_FILE environment variable specifies a valid device other than nvram: (that is, flash:, bootflash:, slot0:, or slot1:), the software writes the current configuration to the specified device and filename and stores a distilled version of the configuration in NVRAM. A distilled version is one that does not contain access list information. If NVRAM already contains a copy of a complete configuration, the router prompts you to confirm the copy.

Using CONFIG_FILE, BOOT, and BOOTLDR Environment Variables

For the Class A Flash file system platforms:

To view the contents of environment variables, use the show bootvar command. To modify the CONFIG_FILE environment variable, use the boot config command. To modify the BOOTLDR environment variable use the boot bootldr command. To modify the BOOT environment variable, use the boot system command. To save your modifications, use the copy system:running-config nvram:startup-config command.

When the destination of a copy command is specified by the CONFIG_FILE or BOOTLDR environment variable, the router prompts you for confirmation before proceeding with the copy. When the destination is the only valid image in the BOOT environment variable, the router also prompts you for confirmation before proceeding with the copy.

Understanding High System Availability

High System Availability (HSA) refers to how quickly your router returns to an operational status after a failure occurs. On the Cisco 7507 and Cisco 7513, you can install two RSP cards in a single router to improve system availability.

On a Cisco 7507 or Cisco  7513 configured for HSA, if you copy a file to nvram:startup-configuration with automatic synchronization disabled, the system asks you if you also want to copy the file to the slave's startup configuration. The default answer is yes. If automatic synchronization is enabled, the system automatically copies the file to the slave's startup configuration each time you use a copy command with nvram:startup-configuration as the destination.

Examples

The following examples illustrate uses of the copy command. Depending on your platform, the output might be different from that shown in the examples.

Copy an Image from a Server to Flash Memory Examples

The following three examples use a copy rcp:, copy tftp:, or copy ftp: command to copy an image from a server to Flash memory.

This example copies a system image named file1 from the remote rcp server with an IP address of 172.16.101.101 to Flash memory. On Class B file system platforms, the Cisco IOS software allows you to erase the contents of Flash memory first to ensure that enough Flash memory is available to accommodate the system image.

The following example copies a system image into a partition of Flash memory. The system will prompt for a partition number only if there are two or more read/write partitions or one read-only and one read/write partition and dual Flash bank support in boot ROMs. If the partition entered is not valid, the process terminates. You can enter a partition number, a question mark (?) for a directory display of all partitions, or a question mark and a number (?number) for directory display of a particular partition. The default is the first read/write partition. In this case, the partition is read-only and has dual Flash bank support in boot ROM, so the system uses Flash Load Helper.

The following example copies the file c3600-i-mz from the rcp server at IP address 172.23.1.129 to the Flash memory card in slot 0 of a Cisco  3600 series router, which has only one partition. As the operation progresses, the Cisco  IOS software asks you to erase the files on the Flash memory PC card to accommodate the incoming file. This entire operation takes 18 seconds to perform, as indicated at the end of the example.

 Save a Copy of an Image on a Server Examples


 The following four examples use copy commands to copy images to a server for storage.



The following example copies a system image from Flash Memory to an rcp server using the default remote username. Because the rcp server address and filename are not included in the command, the router prompts for it.




Router# copy flash: rcp:

IP address of remote host [255.255.255.255]? 172.16.13.110

Name of file to copy? gsxx

writing gsxx - copy complete




The following example copies an image from a particular partition of Flash memory to an rcp server using a remote username of netadmin1. 


The system will prompt if there are two or more partitions. If the partition entered is not valid, the process terminates. You have the option to enter a partition number, a question mark (?) for a directory display of all partitions, or a question mark and a number (?number) for a directory display of a particular partition. The default is the first partition.

 Save the Current Running Configuration Example


 The following example copies the running configuration to the startup configuration. On a Class A Flash file system platform, this command copies the running configuration to the startup configuration specified by the CONFIG_FILE variable:


copy system:running-config nvram:startup-config



 The following example shows the warning the system provides if you try to save configuration information from bootstrap into the system:


Router(boot)# copy system:running-config nvram:startup-config 
Warning: Attempting to overwrite an NVRAM configuration written
by a full system image. This bootstrap software does not support
the full configuration command set. If you perform this command now,
some configuration commands may be lost.
Overwrite the previous NVRAM configuration?[confirm]



 Enter no to escape writing the configuration information to memory.


 Move Configuration Files to Other Locations Examples


 On some routers, you can store copies of configuration files on a Flash memory device. Five examples follow:



The following example copies the startup configuration file (specified by the CONFIG_FILE environment variable) to a Flash memory card inserted in slot 0:




copy nvram:startup-config slot0:router-confg




The following example copies the running configuration from the router to the Flash memory PC card in slot 0:




Router# copy system:running-config slot0:karen2

Building configuration...
 
5267 bytes copied in 0.720 secs




The following example copies the file ios-upgrade-1 from the Flash memory card in slot 0 to the running configuration:




Router# copy slot0:4:ios-upgrade-1 system:running-config

Copy 'ios-upgrade-1' from flash device
  as 'running-config' ? [yes/no] yes




The following example copies the router-image file from the Flash memory to the startup configuration:




copy flash:router-image nvram:startup-config




This example copies the file running-config from the first partition in internal Flash memory to the Flash memory PC card in slot 1. The file's checksum is verified, and its copying time of 30 seconds is displayed.

 memory-size iomem 

 
 To reallocate the percentage of DRAM memory to use for I/O memory and processor memory on Cisco  3600 series routers, use the memory-size iomem global configuration command. The no form of this command reverts to the default allocation of 25 percent I/O memory and 75 percent processor memory.

memory-size iomem i/o-memory-percentage
no memory-size iomem i/o-memory-percentage


 Syntax Description


 



 i/o-memory-percentage


 The percentage of DRAM allocated to I/O memory. The values permitted are 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, and 50 percent. A minimum of 4 MB of memory is required for I/O memory.













 Default


 The default allocation is 25 percent I/O memory and 75 percent processor memory.


 Command Mode


 Global configuration


 Usage Guidelines


 This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.2 P.


 When you specify the percentage of I/O memory in the command line, processor memory automatically acquires the remaining percentage of DRAM memory.


 Example


 The following example allocates 40 percent of the DRAM memory to I/O memory and the remaining 60 percent to processor memory.


Router# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)# memory-size iomem 40

Router(config)# exit

Router# copy system:running-config nvram:startup-config

 partition

 
 To separate Flash memory into partitions on Class B file system platforms, use the partition global configuration command. Use the no form of this command to undo partitioning and to restore Flash memory to one partition.

partition flash-filesystem: [number-of-partitions][partition-size] (Cisco  1600 series and
	Cisco  3600 series)
no partition flash-filesystem:

partition flash partitions [size1 size2] (all other Class B platforms)
no partition flash


 Syntax Description 


 



 flash-filesystem


 One of the following Flash file systems, which must be followed by a colon (:). The Cisco  1600 series can only use the flash: keyword.


·	 flash:---Internal Flash memory


·	 slot0:---Flash memory card in PCMCIA slot 0


·	 slot1:---Flash memory card in PCMCIA slot 1




 number-of-partitions


 (Optional) Number of partitions in Flash memory. 




 partition-size


 (Optional) Size of each partition. The number of partition size entries must be equal to the number of specified partitions.




 partitions


 Number of partitions in Flash memory. Can be 1 or 2.




 size1


 (Optional) Size of the first partition in megabytes. 




 size2


 (Optional) Size of the second partition in megabytes. 













 Default


 Flash memory consists of one partition.


 If the partition size is not specified, partitions of equal size are created.


 Command Mode


 Global configuration


 Usage Guidelines


 This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.


 For the Cisco  1600 series and Cisco  3600 series, to undo partitioning, use the partition flash-filesystem:1 or no partition flash-filesystem: command. For other Class B platforms, use either the partition flash 1 or no partition flash command. If there are files in a partition other than the first, you must use the command erase  flash-filesystem:partition-number to erase the partition before reverting to a single partition.


 When creating two partitions, you must not truncate a file or cause a file to spill over into the second partition. 


 Examples


 The following example creates two partitions of 4 MB each in Flash memory:


partition flash 2 4 4



 The following example divides the Flash memory card in slot 0 into two partitions, each 8 MB in size on the Cisco  3600:


Router# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)# partition slot0: 2 8 8



 The following example creates four partitions of equal size in the card on a Cisco  1600 series:


Router# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)# partition flash: 4



 show (Flash file system)

 
 To display the layout and contents of a Flash memory file system, use the show EXEC command: 

show flash-filesystem: [all | chips | filesys] (Class A Flash file systems)

show flash-filesystem: [partition number] [all | chips | detailed | err | summary] (Class B Flash file systems)

show flash-filesystem: (Class C Flash file systems)


 Syntax Description


 



 flash-filesystem


 Flash memory file system (bootflash:, flash:, slot0:, slot1:, slavebootflash:, slaveslot0:, or slaveslot1:). 




 all


 (Optional) On Class B Flash file systems, all shows complete information about Flash memory, including information about the individual ROM devices in Flash memory and the names and sizes of all system image files stored in Flash memory, including those that are invalid.


 On Class A Flash file systems, all shows the following information:


·	 The information displayed when no keywords are used.


·	 The information displayed by the filesys keyword.


·	 The information displayed by the chips keyword.




 chips


 (Optional) Shows information per partition and per chip, including which bank the chip is in plus its code, size, and name.




 filesys


 (Optional) Shows the Device Info Block, the Status Info, and the Usage Info.




 detailed


 (Optional) Shows detailed file directory information per partition, including file length, address, name, Flash memory checksum, computer checksum, bytes used, bytes available, total bytes, and bytes of system Flash memory. 




 err


 (Optional) Shows write or erase failures in the form of number of retries.




 partition number


 (Optional) Shows output for the specified partition number. If you do not specify a partition in the command, the router displays output for all partitions. You can use this keyword only when Flash memory has multiple partitions. 




 summary


 (Optional) Shows summary information per partition, including the partition size, bank size, state, and method by which files can be copied into a particular partition. You can use this keyword only when Flash memory has multiple partitions.













 


 Command Mode


 EXEC


 Usage Guidelines


 This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3 AA.


 If Flash memory is partitioned, the command displays the requested output for each partition, unless you use the partition keyword. 


 The command also specifies the location of the current image.


 To display the contents of boot Flash memory, use the show bootflash: command as follows:

show bootflash: [all | chips | filesys] for Class A Flash file systems

show bootflash: [partition number] [all | chips | detailed | err] for Class B Flash file systems


 To display the contents of internal Flash memory, use the show flash: command as follows:

show flash: [all | chips | filesys] for Class A Flash file systems

show flash: [partition number][all | chips | detailed | err | summary] for Class B Flash file systems


 The show (Flash file system) command replaces the show flash devices command.


 Sample Displays


 The output of the show command depends on the type of Flash file system you select. Types include flash:, bootflash:, slot0:, slot1:, slavebootflash:, slaveslot0:, and slaveslot1:.


 This section contains examples of output from show flash:. 



 Although the examples below use flash: as the Flash file system, you may also use the other Flash file systems listed above.
