Remember:

•Do not configure multiple TFTP servers to download code updates using TFTP to a single switch (or to multiple domains).

•If the network broadcast traffic is 200 packets per second or more, the TFTP request might not be initiated by the switch. You must reset the switch and download a new image using the serial port download (refer to the section "Serial Link Download Screen" on page 138).
