Sources of Cisco IOS Software
A default Cisco IOS software image for your system is available through any of 
the following internal or external sources:
  •
Onboard flash memory on the Route Processor (RP)—The latest Cisco IOS 
software image is preloaded into the flash memory, and it is a single inline 
memory module (SIMM). Flash memory is also referred to as nonvolatile 
random access memory (NVRAM). NVRAM retains its contents when you 
power off the system.
  •
Flash memory card—A flash memory card (sometimes referred to as a flash 
disk) inserted in a PCMCIA slot on the RP can serve as an external storage 
medium for a default Cisco IOS software image.
  •
TFTP server—A Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server in the network 
can also function as an external source of a default Cisco IOS software image. 
You can download a valid Cisco IOS software image from such a remote host 
using a Telnet connection.
