Using the Flash Memory Card
For complete command descriptions and configuration information, refer to the Router Products
Command Reference publication and the Router Products Configuration Guide.
Flash Memory Card Compatibility
In order to boot from the Flash memory card, the card must have been formatted on an RP board.
Therefore, if you want to boot from a card formatted on an RSP board (Cisco 7500 series), you must
first reformat it.
If booting is not necessary, you can still read from and write to a Flash memory card formatted on a
Cisco 7500 series router, but this is not recommended.
Any Intel Series 2+ Flash memory card can be used with the RP. However, you must install the card's
metal sleeve, and the system must contain Cisco IOS Release 11.0 boot ROMs (SWR-G7-11.0.0=)
or later. (The RP requires these boot ROMs in order to boot from the Flash memory card.) In
addition, the RP can only read up to 16 MB.
