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.
