Booting the Catalyst 4224
The factory configures the Catalyst 4224 to automatically load a Cisco IOS
image. The software configuration register in the Catalyst 4224 determines where
to find the image. The factory sets this register to load the Cisco IOS image into
boot flash memory from configuration register 0x0101. This register enables
autoboot at register 0x0103.
Table 2-1 shows the Catalyst 4224 default configuration.
After booting the Catalyst 4224 for the first time, you can configure the interfaces
and then save the configuration to a file in NVRAM.
Downloading an Image to Boot Flash Memory
Note Before you can download an image, you must first configure the management
port. See “Configuring the Management Port” section on page 2-3.
If you have already configured the Catalyst 4224, you can download a run-time
image from a TFTP server on the network. TFTP downloads can take place over
the Ethernet management port.
To download an image to boot flash memory, use privileged mode to enter the
following command:
copy tftp: [/directory] /filename [/directory] /filename
