Using Multiple Memory Cards

This section describes how to manage multiple memory cards on the router. You

may want to allocate them as follows:

• Keep one card as the primary card used for booting.

• Use another card for redundancy.

If you are providing redundancy, be sure to copy files that you modify to the

redundant volumes.

• Use another card as temporary storage for log files and test configuration files.
