VIP4 Maintenance Procedures
Step 3 After you verify that there is sufficient space available in Flash memory for the new image, use the
command copy tftp:filename [ flash | slot0 | slot1 ]:filename to copy an image to Flash memory. (The
file source is tftp:filename, and [ flash | slot0 | slot1 ]:filename is the destination in onboard Flash
memory or on either of the Flash memory cards.)
An example of the copy tftp:filename command follows:
Router# copy tftp:vip11-1 slot0:vip11-1
20575008 bytes available on device slot0, proceed? [confirm]
Address or name of remote host [1.1.1.1]?

Step 4 Use the show flash command to verify that the microcode has been copied to Flash memory. The
output should display the filename of the image you copied to Flash memory (vip11-1 in the following
example):
Router# show flash
-#- ED --type-- --crc--- -seek-- nlen -length- -----date/time------ name
1 .. FFFFFFFF B4A18E0B 3F6494 30 4023316 Jun 26 1994 19:44:29 image/file/1
2 .. FFFFFFFF 8075AA5D 4118B4 23 111518 Jun 29 1994 11:05:57 image/file/2
3 .. FFFFFFFF EEA1FEEB 8436E8 22 600516 Oct 10 1995 19:35:25 vip11-1
7646052 bytes available (16179788 bytes used)
Step 5 To ensure that the new microcode is used when you reboot the system, add the appropriate commands
to the configuration file. To modify the configuration file, enter the configure terminal command, as
follows:
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#
Step 6 Specify that you are changing the microcode for the VIP4 (microcode vip4), and that it will load from
Flash memory (flash slot0 or slot1). Then add the filename of the new microcode image to be loaded
from Flash memory:
Router(config)# microcode vip4 flash slot0:vip11-1
Step 7 To exit configuration mode, press Ctrl-Z.
Step 8 Copy the new configuration to nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM):
Router# copy running-config startup-config
The microcode reload command is automatically added to your running configuration. The new VIP4
microcode image will load automatically the next time the system boots or reinitializes.
Step 9 To load the new microcode immediately, you can issue the microcode reload configuration command
(you must be in configuration mode to enter this command):
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)# microcode reload
