Configuration EXEC mode is fine for simple adds and changes. For
large changes (such as static routing table or ACL maintenance), the

and (12.x only) commands are needed.
NOTE
Cisco, in later versions (12.x) of the IOS, uses the term file system to
describe memory (originally with only the 7x00 series routers but now

Along with the router's memory file system, a variety of source and
destination targets are supported:
Router#copy
/erase Erase destination file system (not available
in all IOS versions)
flash: Copy from flash: file system
