  2. Overview • Cisco IOS software source options • Load IOS software onto the router • Maintain backup files • Upgrade IOS software • The functions of the conf. register

  3. The Basics of IOS Versions • Locating the Cisco IOS software • Configuration register values • The show version command

  4. Locating the Cisco IOS software • The default source depends on the hardware platform • The router looks to the boot system commands saved in NVRAM

  5. NVRAM • Configuration register: Boot field • ROM moniter / ROM / Boot system command • Router#config-register • Boot system command • Flash/TFTP/ROM • Router(config)#boot system

  6. Boot system • Global configuration-mode boot system commands to enter fallback sources for the router to use in sequence

  7. Configuration register values • Configuration register:boot field • Determine the order in which the router looks for system bootstrap information • Router#config-register • Change the default configuration register setting

  8. Configuration register values • The configuration register is a 16-bit register in NVRAM • The lowest 4 bits • bits 3,2,1,0: the boot field • show version: verify the config-register command
