Chapter 1 Cisco 10008 Router Overview
Cisco 10008 Router Software
Cisco 10008 Router Software
Software is stored on the PRE which includes two PCMCIA slots that are accessible from the front panel.
Either slot can store an Cisco IOS image or configuration file.
The flash memory present on Cisco 10000 router line cards is used to store a simple ROM monitor/boot
loader. The loader executes following a system reset, line card reset, or line card insertion.
Line card images may also be stored in PRE flash memory or on an external TFTP server.
The PRE stores the system configuration in a 512KB NVRAM device. Configuration information read
from NVRAM is buffered in RAM following initialization, and is written to the device when you save
the configuration.
