AI slop is the exact opposite of wisdom in all cases.

You may still want to "copy tftp flash" to put a newer IOS into the flash and use "boot system" to direct the router to boot from flash. This brings back memories of me taking CCNA courses in college and messing around with 2500 series routers with 10 Mbit Ethernet and serial ports wired back to back to act as if they were connected via T1's, just without the external CSU/DSU's that were needed at the time,

Mainly because cisco doco is so contradictory, honestly I hate openai, actually all AI is crap but chatgpt is the worst, its super book smart but has the wisdom of a 3 year old, i use it everyday as MS (uses openai models) is fotcing it down everyones throat with O365 and Azure. Its terrible with powershell scripts. Good for techs thar have no idea. But enough of that rant and on another subject, its time to get into ospf so you dont have to keep doing static routes its not difficult.
