Chapter 29 Working with System Software Images Uploading System Software Images to a TFTP Server Uploading System Software Images to a TFTP Server These sections describe how to upload system software images from a switch to a TFTP server: • Preparing to Upload an Image to a TFTP Server, page 29-5 • Uploading Software Images to a TFTP Server, page 29-5 Note For more information on working with system software image files on the Flash file system, see Chapter 30, "Using the Flash File System." Preparing to Upload an Image to a TFTP Server Before you attempt to upload a software image to a TFTP server, do the following: • Ensure that the workstation acting as the TFTP server is configured properly. • Ensure that the switch has a route to the TFTP server. The switch and the TFTP server must be in the same subnetwork if you do not have a router to route traffic between subnets. Check connectivity to the TFTP server using the ping command. • You might need to create an empty file on the TFTP server before uploading the image. On a UNIX workstation, create an empty file by entering the touch filename command, where filename is the name of the file you will use when uploading the image to the server. • If you are overwriting an existing file (including an empty file, if you had to create one), ensure that the permissions on the file are set correctly. Permissions on the file should be world-write. Uploading Software Images to a TFTP Server To upload a software image on a switch to a TFTP server for storage, follow these steps: Step 1 Step 2 Log into the switch through the console port or a Telnet session. Upload the software image to the TFTP server using the copy flash tftp command. When prompted, specify the TFTP server address and destination filename. On platforms that support the Flash file systems, you are first prompted for the Flash device and source filename, If desired, you can use the copy file-id tftp command on these platforms. The software image is uploaded to the TFTP server. This example shows how to upload the supervisor engine software image to a TFTP server: Console> (enable) copy flash tftp Flash device [bootflash]? bootflash Name of file to copy from []? cat4000.6-1-1.bin IP address or name of remote host [172.20.52.3]? 172.20.52.10 Name of file to copy to [cat4000.6-1-1.bin]?
