But the download had “issues”. I will let you fill in the “issues” bland there with anything that I am sure you have run across more than 100 times with other downloads. So you want to confirm that the IOS version you have downloaded is intact. What to do …

You would run the verify command on the IOS version. If you issue the command verify then flash:IOS_file_name then the router will perform an IOS check of the MD5 checksum included in the IOS version and give you something like what is below. And that is how you would quickly and easily verfiy IOS file integrity for routers.
