CIP2 Microcode Guidelines

Upgrading from a Flash Memory Card

For CIP2 microcode that shipped on Flash memory cards, do the following:

Step 1 Insert the Flash memory card into a Flash memory card slot 0.

Step 2 Conﬁgure the router to boot from the Flash memory card in slot 0.

Note For the speciﬁc procedures associated with the steps in this overview, refer to the companion

publication Upgrading Software and Microcode in Cisco 7000 Series and Cisco 7500 Series Routers

(Document Number 78-1144-xx), which includes the information and procedures necessary to

upgrade your CIP2 microcode.

The Upgrading Software and Microcode in Cisco 7000 Series and Cisco 7500 Series Routers

publication includes information on upgrading software and microcode images, transferring ﬁles to

and from Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) servers, copying ﬁles between nonvolatile

random-access memory (NVRAM) and Flash memory, and between TFTP servers and Flash

memory; the publication also includes basic instructions for booting your system.

Conﬁguring Microcode

This section describes how to modify the startup conﬁguration to load different microcode images

at startup, or to change existing conﬁguration instructions and reenable the system default.

At system startup or reload, the system loads a microcode image for each processor type. All

processors of the same type use the same microcode image; only one image for each type can load

at startup. The CIP2 Flash memory provides a CIP2 microcode boot image. The entire CIP2

microcode image is located in a Flash memory card, on a ﬂoppy disk, or is available from CCO or

from a TFTP server.

Whenever you upgrade software or microcode by downloading new images into Flash memory, you

must conﬁgure the system to load the new image at startup. Otherwise, the system will continue to

load the default image from the system, or attempt to load the previous image (if any) if it is still

speciﬁed in the conﬁguration ﬁle.

Note If you are running anything other than the default CIP2 microcode with your Cisco IOS image

and you want to upgrade to a later version of Cisco IOS, and want to use the default CIP2 microcode

that comes with that later version, you have to remove the microcode cip ﬂash statement from the

system conﬁguration ﬁle, otherwise the Cisco IOS will try to load that old version of the CIP2

microcode.

To instruct the system to boot a CIP2 microcode image other than the default at startup, use the

microcode cip ﬂash [bootﬂash | slot0 | slot1 ]:ﬁlename conﬁguration command to add the

instructions to the conﬁguration ﬁle.

Note If you are currently running a previous Cisco IOS release, refer to the appropriate

conﬁguration and command reference publications for speciﬁc commands that apply to this

procedure depending on your Cisco IOS release. All Cisco IOS release documentation is available

on the Cisco Connection Documentation, Enterprise Series CD-ROM.
