Follow these steps to download (copy) a microcode version from a TFTP server to Flash memory.
Step 1 To display the total amount of Flash memory present, its location, any files that currently
exist in Flash memory and their size, and the amount of Flash memory remaining, use the
show flash command. Following is an example of the output that is displayed:
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
12044568 bytes available (8533736 bytes used)
Step 2 Compare the amount of available Flash memory (last line in the preceding example) to the
size of the new microcode image on the floppy disk. If you attempt to copy in a new image,
and the size of the new image exceeds the available space in Flash, only part of the new
image will be copied, and the following error message will be displayed:
buffer overflow - xxxx/xxxx
where xxxx/xxxx is the number of bytes read in/number of bytes available.
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. (tftp:filename is the file’s source, 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. The
output should display the filename of the image you copied to Flash (vip11-1 in the
following example):
Router# show flash
-#- ED --type-- --crc--- -seek-- nlen -length- -----date/time------ name
