Hi All
Asume that we have 2 image in Cisco router Flash. first image(i am not sure is suitable) is a new one which i downloaded recently and transfer it to router with tftp and the second is old one which is running now. is there any way when i reload the router, if the first one is not supported(for example because of hardware incompatibilty), automatically the old image yet run. since i want to remotely upgrade iOS, i want to sure that if new iOS is not correct, the old image will run and network will be up.
best regards
thanks.

hi Leo and thanks.
I have done it as follow:
conf t boot system flash flash:NEW_IOS.bin boot system flash flash:OLD_IOS.bin
end
but it doesn't work and it still try to load new image(it can not). is it needed to add third line as you(
boot system flash flash:
) or not?

Error: *** Unsupported platforms ***
Error: hardware not supported by firmware.
Try loading newer software instead.

This error message is very self-explanatory. This means the router is being forced to load a version that it doesn't understand.
What is the exact version of the IOS and what router are you trying to get this loaded into?
