Software Download through TFTP Server

This section contains instructions for downloading device software (system and boot images) through a TFTP server. The TFTP server must be configured before beginning to download the software. This section contains the following topics:

•System Image Download

•Boot Image Download

System Image Download

The device boots and runs when decompressing the system image from the flash memory area where a copy of the system image is stored. When a new image is downloaded, it is saved in the area allocated for the other system image copy.

On the next boot, the device decompresses and runs the currently active system image unless otherwise directed. To download a system image through the TFTP server:

1.Ensure that an IP address is configured on one of the device ports and pings can be sent to the TFTP server.

2.Make sure that the file to be downloaded is saved on the TFTP server (the arc file).

3.Enter show version to verify which software version is currently running on the device. The following is an example of the information that appears:

console# show version

SW version 1.0.0.42 (date 22-Jul-2004 time 13:42:41)

Boot version 1.0.0.18 (date 01-Jun-2004 time 15:12:20)

5.Enter copy tftp://{tftp address}/{file name} image to copy a new system image to the device. When the new image is downloaded, it is saved in the area allocated for the other copy of system image (image-2, as given in the example).
