Secure the Cisco IOS image and archive a copy of the running configuration

Secure the Cisco IOS image and archive a copy of the running configuration.

1. 
   The secure boot-image command enables Cisco IOS image resilience, which hides the file from the dir command and show commands. The file cannot be viewed, copied, modified, or removed using EXEC mode commands. (It can be viewed in ROMMON mode.) When turned on for the first time, the running image is secured.

   The secure boot-config command takes a snapshot of the router running configuration and securely archives it in persistent storage (flash).
