first copy the active configuration into the Flash file system, and then in global con-
figuration, use the boot config parameter followed by the file system name and file

Alias Commands
Because the new file system functionality is the third generation of file management sys-
tems for Cisco IOS, alias commands have been established to provide backward compati-
bility for commands that existed in previous operating systems. This backward compati-
bility enables you to use file management commands that you might have learned in pre-
vious releases without having to relearn the new command structure. Table 3-3 shows the
alias commands and the IFS equivalent command.
