4.5 Upgrading Software Using TFTP (option 2) Upgrading the application image with the NET command will use an Ethernet interface to
download. In this approach, the router is the TFTP Client and needs
to connect to a TFTP Server using a fixed Ethernet interface. The following describes how to
upgrade the application image with this approach:
1 Start the TFTP Server on the host connected to the Ethernet interface on the router. Set the
path for the source file to be downloaded.
Caution: No TFTP Server is available on the routers. You must have a TFTP server available.
