7200 boot images are a tricky thing. I'm not sure of your wording below but the boot image is for the router to boot off of. After the router boots of off the boot image then it loads the main IOS image. The big thing I look for is if the boot image supports all the cards that are in the router. That way if the main image fails I know all the cards will work. Make sure you get an image taht fits in the boot directory (4mb) as Cisco desided to make several images that won't fit in there when they expand. You can still use those images but you will have to put them in the main flash area and use a boot system command. No, you don't have to have the boot image and main image being the same version. I'm sure if you search Cisco's website under "7200 boot image" you will find all the info you need.

It only includes software to configure basic IP information. If this is right, I think I can just upgrade the IOS on the flash card, as the boot-image should basically be same. I noticed that there is a boot-image for each IOS, I assume we do not make them match each other, is this right?
