Cisco 2811 Firmware Upgrade with Compact Flash
I am looking to do a firmware upgrade remotely on a Cisco 2811. I am wondering is it possible to ship down a Compact Flash with the new firmware on it. Have the remote hands insert the card and boot up the router. If anything fails they can simple remove the compact flash and insert the hold one. Would this be possible? This is my first time dealing with Compact Flash

Thanks for the grade. Good luck.

boot system disk1:/**.bin
and disk1 has the compact flash with the new firmware in it. If it fails due to corruption, etc. how could you recover? Would you be able to go into ROM mode and change to disk0:/**.bin for example?
