Verifying checksum… OK (0x99D9)<br />

Flash device copy <strong>to</strong>ok 00:04:27 [hh:mm:ss]<br />

If you have enough flash space, it is possible <strong>to</strong> s<strong>to</strong>re different IOS<br />

versions and use <strong>the</strong> command <strong>to</strong> define which IOS version<br />

will be loaded at boot time. If you do not have enough flash, you can<br />

always use TFTP.<br />

Some Additional IOS Options<br />

If you add additional flash <strong>to</strong> a router that already has an IOS image<br />

in flash, <strong>the</strong> new flash will be available as a second partition. This is<br />

fine if you want two different IOS images on separate partitions. But if<br />

you need a larger flash space <strong>to</strong> load a large IOS image, this will not<br />

work. To change this partition, boot <strong>the</strong> router using TFTP and erase<br />

<strong>the</strong> flash partition with <strong>the</strong> IOS image. After <strong>the</strong> partition is erased,<br />

both flash chips will appear as a single partition.<br />

If, however, you want <strong>to</strong> partition your flash and load two IOS<br />

versions, you need <strong>to</strong> boot with TFTP. First, erase <strong>the</strong> flash partition:<br />
