The Cisco IOS File System (IFS) feature provides a single interface to all the file systems available on your routing device, including the following:
Your software release may not support all the features documented in this module. For the latest feature information and caveats, see the release notes for your platform and software release. To find information about the features documented in this module, and to see a list of the releases in which each feature is supported, see the Feature Information Table at the end of this document.
Use Cisco Feature Navigator to find information about platform support and Cisco software image support. To access Cisco Feature Navigator, go to www.cisco.com/go/cfn. An account on Cisco.com is not required.
With IFS, all files can be viewed and classified (image, text file, and so on), including files on remote servers. For example, you may want to determine the size and type of an image on a remote server before you copy it to ensure that it is a valid image. You can also display a configuration file on a remote server to verify that it is the correct configuration file before you load the file on the router.
With IFS, the file system user interface is no longer platform-specific. Commands have the same syntax, regardless of which platform is used. Thus, you can use the same commands for all of your routers.
However, not all commands are supported on all platforms and file systems. Because different types of file systems support different operations, certain commands are not available for all file systems. Platforms will support commands for the file systems they use.
IFS minimizes the required prompting for many commands, such as the copy EXEC command. You can enter all of the required information in the command line, rather than needing to provide information when the system prompts you for it. For example, if you want to copy a file to an FTP server, on a single line you can specify the specific location on the router of the source file, the specific location of the destination file on the FTP server, and the username and password to use when connecting to the FTP server. However, to have the router prompt you for the needed information, you can still enter the minimal form of the command.
Depending on the current configuration of the fileprompt global configuration command and the type of command you entered, the router may prompt you for confirmation, even if you have provided all the information in the command. In these cases, the default value will be the value entered in the command. Press Return to confirm the values.
With IFS, you can navigate to different directories and list the files in a directory. On newer platforms, you can create subdirectories in Flash memory or on a disk.
The new file system interface uses Uniform Resource Locators ( URLs) to specify the location of a file. URLs are commonly used to specify files or locations on the World Wide Web. However, on Cisco routers, they can now be used to specify the location of files on the router or remote file servers.
On Cisco routers, use URLs in commands to specify the location of the file or directory. For example, if you want to copy a file from one location to another, use the copysource-urldestination-url EXEC command.
The format of URLs used by the routers can vary from the format you may be used to using. There are also a variety of formats that can be used, based on the location of the file.
To specify a file on a network server, use one of the following forms:
The location can be an IP address or a host name. The username variable, if specified, overrides the username specified by the iprcmdremote-username or ipftpusername global configuration command. The password overrides the password specified by the ipftppassword global configuration command.
The file path (directory and filename) is specified relative to the directory used for file transfers. For example, on UNIX file servers, TFTP pathnames start in the /tftpboot directory, and rcp and FTP paths start in the home directory associated with the username.
The following example specifies the file named c7200-j-mz.112-current on the TFTP server named myserver.cisco.com. The file is located in the directory named /tftpboot/master.
tftp://myserver.cisco.com/master/c7200-j-mz.112-current
The following example specifies the file named mill-config on the server named enterprise.cisco.com. The router uses the username liberty and the password secret to access this server via FTP.
ftp://liberty:secret@enterprise.cisco.com/mill-config
Use the prefix:directory/filenamesyntax to specify a file located on the router. You can use this form to specify a file in Flash memory or NVRAM.
For example, nvram:startup-config specifies the startup configuration in NVRAM, and flash:configs/backup-config specifies the file named backup-config in the configs directory of Flash memory.
When referring to a file system instead of a file, use the prefix:form. This form specifies the file system itself, rather than a file in the file system. Use this form to issue commands on file systems themselves, such as commands to list the files in a file system or to format the file system.
For example, slot0: can indicate the first Personal Computer Memory Card Industry Association (PCMCIA) Flash memory card in slot 0.
The URL prefix specifies the file system. The list of available file systems differs by platform and operation. Refer to your product documentation or use the showfilesystems EXEC command to determine which prefixes are available on your platform. File system prefixes are listed in the table below.
Prefix |
File System |
---|---|
bootflash: |
Boot Flash memory. |
disk0: |
Rotating media. |
flash: |
Flash memory. This prefix is available on all platforms. For platforms that do not have a device named flash:, the prefix flash: is aliased to slot0:. Therefore, you can use the prefix flash: to refer to the main Flash memory storage area on all platforms. |
flh: |
Flash load helper log files. |
ftp: |
FTP network server. |
null: |
Null destination for copies. You can copy a remote file to null to determine its size. |
nvram: |
NVRAM. |
rcp: |
Remote copy protocol network server. |
slavebootflash: |
Internal Flash memory on a slave RSP card of a router configured for high system availability (HSA). |
slavenvram: |
NVRAM on a slave Route/Switch Processor (RSP) card of a router configured for HSA. |
slaveslot0: |
First PCMCIA card on a slave RSP card of a router configured for HSA. |
slaveslot1: |
Second PCMCIA card on a slave RSP card of a router configured for HSA. |
slot0: |
First PCMCIA Flash memory card. |
slot1: |
Second PCMCIA Flash memory card. |
system: |
Contains the system memory, including the running configuration. |
tftp: |
TFTP network server. |
xmodem: |
Obtain the file from a network machine using the Xmodem protocol. |
ymodem: |
Obtain the file from a network machine using the Ymodem protocol. |
Note |
Maintenance Operation Protocol (MOP) servers are no longer supported as file systems. |
In all commands, the colon is required after the file system name. However, commands that did not require the colon previously will continue to be supported, although they will not be available in the context-sensitive help.
For partitioned devices, the URL prefix includes the partition number. The syntax is device:partition-number:for the prefix on a partitioned device.
For example, flash:2:refers to the second partition in Flash memory.
The table below lists the maximum lengths in characters of the different URL components.
Component |
Length (Number of Characters) |
---|---|
Prefix |
31 |
Username |
15 |
Password |

Depending on which command you are using, different file systems are available . Some file systems can only serve as a source for files, not a destination. For example, you cannot copy to another machine using Xmodem. Other operations, such as format and erase, are only supported by certain file systems on certain platforms.
The following sections describe the use of for using URLs in commands:
Use the context-sensitive help to determine which file systems can be used for a particular command. In the following example, the context-sensitive help displays which file systems can be used as sources for the copy EXEC command. The output will vary based on the platform.
Router# copy ? /erase Erase destination file system. bootflash: Copy from bootflash: file system flash: Copy from flash: file system ftp: Copy from ftp: file system null: Copy from null: file system nvram: Copy from nvram: file system rcp: Copy from rcp: file system system: Copy from system: file system tftp: Copy from tftp: file system
For most commands, if no file system is specified, the file is assumed to be in the default directory, as specified by the cd command.
Router# pwd slot0: Router# dir Directory of slot0:/ 1 -rw- 4720148 Aug 29 1997 17:49:36 hampton/nitro/c7200-j-mz 2 -rw- 4767328 Oct 01 1997 18:42:53 c7200-js-mz 5 -rw- 639 Oct 02 1997 12:09:32 foo 7 -rw- 639 Oct 02 1997 12:37:13 the_time 20578304 bytes total (3104544 bytes free) Router# cd nvram: Router# dir Directory of nvram:/ 1 -rw- 2725 <no date> startup-config 2 ---- 0 <no date> private-config 3 -rw- 2725 <no date> underlying-config 129016 bytes total (126291 bytes free)
You can use tab completion to reduce the number of characters you need to type for a command. Type the first few characters of the filename, and press the Tab key. If the characters are unique to a filename, the router will complete the filename for you. Continue entering the command as normal and press Return to execute the command.
In the following example, the router completes the filename startup-config because it is the only file in the nvram: file system that starts with “s”:
Router# show file info nvram:s<tab> Router# show file info nvram:startup-config<Enter>
If you use tab completion without specifying any characters, the router uses the first file in the file system.
Router# show file info nvram:<tab> Router# show file info nvram:private-config<Enter>
For many commands, you can get a listing of the files in a file system on the router by using the context-sensitive help. In the following example, the router lists the files in NVRAM:
Router# show file info nvram:? nvram:private-config nvram:startup-config nvram:underlying-config
On remote file systems (file systems on FTP, rcp, or TFTP servers) you can perform the following tasks:
Note |
You cannot delete files on remote systems. |
On most platforms, NVRAM contains the startup configuration. On Class A Flash file system platforms, the CONFIG_FILE environment variable specifies the location of the startup configuration. However, the file URL nvram:startup-config always specifies the startup configuration, regardless of the CONFIG_FILE environment variable.
You can display the startup-config (with the morenvram:startup-config EXEC command), replace the startup config with a new configuration file (with the copysource-urlnvram:startup-config EXEC command), save the startup configuration to another location (with the copynvram:startup-configdestination-url EXEC command), and erase the contents of NVRAM (with the erasenvram:EXECcommand). The erasenvram: command also deletes the startup configuration if another location is specified by the CONFIG_FILE variable.
The “system” file system contains the system memory and the current running configuration. You can display the current configuration (with the showrunning-configor moresystem:running-config EXEC command), save the current configuration to another location (with the copysystem:running-configdestination-url EXEC command), and add configuration commands to the current configuration (with the copysource-urlsystem:running-config EXEC command).
Cisco platforms use one of the following three different Flash memory file system types:
The methods used for erasing, deleting, and recovering files depend on the class of the Flash file system. Some commands are supported on only one or two file system types. The command reference documentation notes commands that are not supported on all file system types.
See the table below to determine which Flash memory file system type your platform uses.
Type |
Platforms |
---|---|
Class A |
Cisco 7000 series (including the Cisco 7500 series), Cisco 12000 Gigabit Switch Router (GSR), LS1010 |
Class B |
Cisco 1003, Cisco 1004, Cisco 1005, Cisco 2500 series, Cisco 3600 series, Cisco 4000 series, Cisco AS5200 |
Class C |
Cisco MC3810, disk0 of SC3640 |
On Class A Flash file systems, you can delete individual files using the delete EXEC command and later recover these files with the undelete EXEC command. The delete command marks the files as “deleted,” but the files still take up space in Flash memory. To permanently delete the files, use the squeeze EXEC command. The squeeze command removes all of the files marked “deleted” from the specified Flash memory device. These files can no longer be recovered. To erase all of the files on a Flash device, use the format EXEC command.
On Class B Flash file systems, you can delete individual files with the delete EXEC command. The delete command marks the file as “deleted.” The file is still present in Flash memory and takes up space. To recover the file, use the undelete EXEC command. To reclaim any space in Flash memory, you must erase the entire Flash file system with the erase EXEC command.
On Class C Flash memory file systems, you can delete individual files with the delete EXEC command. Files cannot be reclaimed once they have been deleted. Instead, the Flash file system space is reclaimed dynamically. To erase all of the files in Flash, use the format EXEC command.
Not all file systems are supported on every platform. To list the file systems available on your platform, complete the task in this section:
Command |
Purpose |
---|---|
show file systems
Router> show file systems |
Lists the file systems available on your platform. This command also displays information about each file system. |
To set a default file system, complete the task in this section:
The following example sets the default file system to the Flash memory card inserted in slot 0:
cd slot0:
To display the current default file system, as specified by the cd EXEC command, complete the task in this section:
Command |
Purpose |
---|---|
pwd
Router> pwd |

You can display a list of the contents of a file system before manipulating its contents. For example, before copying a new configuration file to Flash memory, you may want to verify that the file system does not already contain a configuration file with the same name. Similarly, before copying a Flash configuration file to another location, you may want to verify its filename for use in another command.
To display the contents of any readable file, including a file on a remote file system, complete the task in this section:
1. enable
2. more [ascii | binary | ebcdic| tftp] file-location
Command or Action | Purpose | |
---|---|---|
Step 1 | enable Example: Router> enable |
Enables privileged EXEC mode. |
Step 2 | more [ascii | binary | ebcdic| tftp] file-location Example: Router# more tftp://serverA/hampton/savedconfig |
Displays the specified file. |
The following example displays the contents of a configuration file on a TFTP server:
Router# more tftp://serverA/hampton/savedconfig ! ! Saved configuration on server ! version 11.3 service timestamps log datetime localtime service linenumber service udp-small-servers service pt-vty-logging ! end
To delete a file from a specified Flash memory device, complete the task in this section:
1. enable
2. delete [device:]filename
Command or Action | Purpose | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Step 1 | enable Example: Router> enable |
Enables privileged EXEC mode.
|
||
Step 2 | delete [device:]filename Example: Router# delete slot0:myconfig |
Deletes a file from a Flash memory device.
|
The following example deletes the file named myconfig from a Flash memory card inserted in slot 0:
delete slot0:myconfig
If you omit the device, the router uses the default device specified by the cd EXEC command.
If you attempt to delete the file specified by the CONFIG_FILE or BOOTLDR environment variable, the system prompts you to confirm the deletion. Also, if you attempt to delete the last valid system image specified in the BOOT environment variable, the system prompts you to confirm the deletion.
You can undelete a deleted file. For example, you may want to revert to a previous configuration file because the current one is corrupt.To undelete a deleted file on a Flash memory device, complete the tasks in this section:
1. enable
2. dir /all [filesystem:]
3. undelete index [filesystem:]
Command or Action | Purpose | |
---|---|---|
Step 1 | enable Example: Router> enable |
Enables privileged EXEC mode. |
Step 2 | dir /all [filesystem:] Example: Router# dir /all |
Determines the index of the deleted file. |
Step 3 | undelete index [filesystem:] Example: Router# undelete 1 slot 0: |
Restores a deleted file on a Flash memory device. |
The following example recovers the deleted file whose index number is 1 to the Flash memory card inserted in slot 0:
undelete 1 slot0:
You must undelete a file by its index because you can have multiple deleted files with the same name. For example, the “deleted” list could contain multiple configuration files with the name router-config. You undelete by index to indicate which of the many router-config files from the list to undelete. Use the dir command with the /all option to learn the index number of the file you want to undelete.
You cannot undelete a file if a valid file with the same name exists. Instead, first delete the existing file and then undelete the file you want. For example, if you had a file with the name router-config and you wanted to use a file with the same name that you had previously deleted, you cannot simply undelete the previous version by index. You must first delete the existing router-config file and then undelete the previous router-config file by index. You can undelete a file as long as the file has not been permanently erased with the squeeze EXEC command. You can delete and undelete a file up to 15 times.
When a Flash memory device is full, you may need to rearrange the files so that the space used by the deleted files can be reclaimed. To determine whether a Flash memory device is full, use the dirEXECcommand. To permanently delete files on a Flash memory device, complete the task in this section:
1. enable
2. squeeze filesystem :
Command or Action | Purpose | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Step 1 | enable Example: Router> enable |
Enables privileged EXEC mode.
|
||
Step 2 | squeeze filesystem : Example: Router# squeeze slot1: |
Permanently deletes all files marked “deleted” on a Flash memory device.
|
When you issue the squeeze command, the router copies all valid files to the beginning of Flash memory and erases all files marked “deleted.” At this point, you cannot recover deleted files, and you can now write to the reclaimed Flash memory space.
Note |
The squeeze operation can take as long as several minutes because it can involve erasing and rewriting almost an entire Flash memory space. |
To erase an entire flash file system on a Cisco 2600 or 3600 series router, complete the tasks in this section:
1. enable
2. no partition flash-filesystem:
3. erase filesystem :
Command or Action | Purpose | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Step 1 | enable Example: Router> enable |
Enables privileged EXEC mode. |
||
Step 2 | no partition flash-filesystem: Example:
Router# no partition flash-filesystem:
|
Removes all partitions on the specified flash file system.
|
||
Step 3 | erase filesystem : Example: Router# erase slot1: |
Erases all of the file on the specified flash file system. |
In the following example, the image named c7200-js-mz is deleted and undeleted. Note that the deleted file does not appear in the output for the first dir EXEC command, but it appears in the output for the dir/all EXEC command.
Router# delete slot1: Delete filename []? c7200-js-mz Delete slot1:c7200-js-mz? [confirm] Router# dir slot1: Directory of slot1:/ No such file 20578304 bytes total (15754684 bytes free) Router# dir /all slot1: Directory of slot1:/ 1 -rw- 4823492 Dec 17 1997 13:21:53 [c7200-js-mz] 20578304 bytes total (15754684 bytes free) Router# undelete 1 slot1: Router# dir slot1: Directory of slot1:/ 1 -rw- 4823492 Dec 17 1997 13:21:53 c7200-js-mz 20578304 bytes total (15754684 bytes free)
In the following example, the image is deleted. In order to reclaim the space taken up by the deleted file, the squeeze EXEC command is issued.
Router# delete slot1:c7200-js-mz Delete filename [c7200-js-mz]? Delete slot1:c7200-js-mz? [confirm] Router# squeeze slot1: All deleted files will be removed. Continue? [confirm] Squeeze operation may take a while. Continue? [confirm] Erasing squeeze log Squeeze of slot1: complete Router# dir /all slot1: Directory of slot1:/ No such file 20578304 bytes total (20578304 bytes free)
To recompute and verify the checksum of a file in Flash memory on a Class A Flash file system, use the verify EXEC command.
When you no longer need a file on a Flash memory device, you can delete it. When you delete a file, the router simply marks the file as deleted, but it does not erase the file. This feature allows you to recover a deleted file, as discussed in the following section. You may want to recover a “deleted” image or configuration file if the new image or configuration file becomes corrupted. To delete a file from a specified Flash memory device, complete the task in this section:
1. enable
2. delete [device:]filename
Command or Action | Purpose | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Step 1 | enable Example: Router> enable |
Enables privileged EXEC mode.
|
||
Step 2 | delete [device:]filename Example: Router# delete slot0:myconfig |
Deletes a file from a Flash memory device.
|
You can undelete a deleted file. For example, you may want to revert to a previous configuration file because the current one is corrupt. To undelete a deleted file on a Flash memory device, complete the tasks in this section:
1. enable
2. dir /all [filesystem:]
3. undelete index [filesystem:]
Command or Action | Purpose | |
---|---|---|
Step 1 | enable Example: Router> enable |
Enables privileged EXEC mode. |
Step 2 | dir /all [filesystem:] Example: Router# dir /all |
Determines the index of the deleted file. |
Step 3 | undelete index [filesystem:] Example: Router# undelete 1 slot 0: |
Undeletes a deleted file on a Flash memory device. |
The following example recovers the deleted file whose index number is 1 to the Flash memory card inserted in slot 0:
undelete 1 slot0:
You must undelete a file by its index because you can have multiple deleted files with the same name. For example, the “deleted” list could contain multiple configuration files with the name router-config. You undelete by index to indicate which of the many router-config files from the list to undelete. Use the dir command with the /all option to learn the index number of the file you want to undelete.
You cannot undelete a file if a valid (undeleted) one with the same name exists. Instead, first delete the existing file and then undelete the file you want. For example, if you had an undeleted version of the router-config file and you wanted to use a previous, deleted version instead, you cannot simply undelete the previous version by index. You must first delete the existing router-config file and then undelete the previous router-config file by index. You can undelete a file as long as the file system has not been permanently erased with the erase EXEC command. You can delete and undelete a file up to 15 times.
To erase a Flash memory device, use the following command in EXEC mode:
1. enable
2. erase filesystem :
Command or Action | Purpose | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Step 1 | enable Example: Router> enable |
Enables privileged EXEC mode. |
||
Step 2 | erase filesystem : Example: Router# erase flash:2 |
Erases the Flash file system.
|
The following example erases all files in the second partition in Flash memory:
Router# erase flash:2 System flash directory, partition 2: File Length Name/status 1 1711088 dirt/gate/c1600-i-mz [1711152 bytes used, 15066064 available, 16777216 total] Erase flash device, partition 2? [confirm] Are you sure? [yes/no]: yes Erasing device... eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ...erased
To recompute and verify the checksum of a file in Flash memory on a Class B Flash file system, use the verify EXEC command.
To delete a file from a specified Flash device, complete the task in this section:
1. enable
2. delete [device:]filename
Command or Action | Purpose | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Step 1 | enable Example: Router> enable |
Enables privileged EXEC mode. |
||
Step 2 | delete [device:]filename Example: Router# delete slot0:myconfig |
Deletes a file from a Flash memory device.
|
The following example permanently deletes the file named myconfig from a Flash memory card inserted in slot 0:
delete slot0:myconfig
If you omit the device, the router uses the default device specified by the cd EXEC command.
If you attempt to delete the file specified by the CONFIG_FILE or BOOTLDR environment variable, the system prompts you to confirm the deletion. Also, if you attempt to delete the last valid system image specified in the BOOT environment variable, the system prompts you to confirm the deletion.
To format a Class C Flash file system, complete the task in this section:
1. enable
2. format filesystem
Command or Action | Purpose | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Step 1 | enable Example: Router> enable |
Enables privileged EXEC mode.

On Class C Flash file systems, you can create a new directory with the mkdir EXEC command. To remove a directory from a Flash file system, use the rmdir EXEC command.
On Class C Flash file systems, you can rename a file using the renameEXECcommand.
On Class C Flash file systems, you can check a file system for damage and repair any problems using the fsck EXEC command.
The following example displays the startup configuration:
nnm3640-2# more nvram:startup-config Using 2279 out of 129016 bytes ! ! Last configuration change at 10:57:25 PST Wed Apr 22 1998 ! NVRAM config last updated at 10:57:27 PST Wed Apr 22 1998 ! version 11.3 service timestamps log datetime localtime service linenumber service udp-small-servers service pt-vty-logging ... end
The following example displays the contents of the NVRAM file system on a Class A Flash file system platform. The file named startup-config is the current startup configuration file, in physical NVRAM or in Flash memory. If the file is located in a Flash memory file system, this entry is a symbolic link to the actual file. The file named underlying-config is always the NVRAM version of the configuration.
Router# dir nvram: Directory of nvram:/ 1 -rw- 2703 <no date> startup-config 2 ---- 5 <no date> private-config 3 -rw- 2703 <no date> underlying-config 129016 bytes total (126313 bytes free)
The following example changes to the “system” file system, displays the contents of the file system, and displays the running configuration:
Router# cd ? bootflash: Directory name flash: Directory name lex: Directory name modem: Directory name null: Directory name nvram: Directory name system: Directory name vfc: Directory name <cr> Router# cd system:? system:memory system:running-config system:ucode system:vfiles Router# cd system: Router# dir Directory of system:/ 6 dr-x 0 <no date> memory 1 -rw- 7786 Apr 22 2001 03:41:39 running-config No space information available nnm3640-2# more system:running-config ! ! No configuration change since last restart ! version 12.2 service timestamps log datetime localtime service linenumber service udp-small-servers service pt-vty-logging ! . . . end
On some platforms, the system file system contains microcode in its ucode directory, as follows:
Router# dir system:/ucode Directory of system:/ucode/ 21 -r-- 22900 <no date> aip20-13 18 -r-- 32724 <no date> eip20-3 25 -r-- 123130 <no date> feip20-6 19 -r-- 25610 <no date> fip20-1 22 -r-- 7742 <no date> fsip20-7 23 -r-- 17130 <no date> hip20-1 24 -r-- 36450 <no date> mip22-2 29 -r-- 154752 <no date> posip20-0 28 -r-- 704688 <no date> rsp220-0 20 -r-- 33529 <no date> trip20-1 26 -r-- 939130 <no date> vip22-20 27 -r-- 1107862 <no date> vip222-20 No space information available
