I''m trying CCO steps and failing miserably... This is not working... I =
can ping the TFTP server.... Here are Cisco's steps below:
Anyone with personal experience please Help!
Thanks,
Rick
Downloading an Image File By Using TFTP
You can download a new image file and replace the current image or keep =
the current image.=20
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow Steps 1 through 3 to download =
a new image from a TFTP server and overwrite the existing image. To keep =
the current image, skip Step 3.
Command Purpose =20
Step 1 =20
=20
Copy the image to the appropriate TFTP directory on the =
workstation. Make sure the TFTP server is properly configured; see the =
"Preparing to Download or Upload an Image File By Using TFTP" section.
=20
Step 2 =20
=20
Log into the switch through the console port or a Telnet session.
=20
Step 3 =20
archive download-sw /overwrite /reload =
tftp:[[//location]/directory]/image-name.tar
Download the image file from the TFTP server to the switch, and =
overwrite the current image.
a.. The /overwrite option overwrites the software image in Flash =
with the downloaded image.=20
b.. The /reload option reloads the system after downloading the =
image unless the configuration has been changed and not been saved.=20
c.. For //location, specify the IP address of the TFTP server.=20
d.. For /directory/image-name.tar, specify the directory =
(optional) and the image to download. Directory and image names are case =
sensitive.=20
=20
Step 4 =20
archive download-sw /leave-old-sw /reload =
tftp:[[//location]/directory]/image-name.tar
Download the image file from the TFTP server to the switch, and =
keep the current image.
a.. The /leave-old-sw option keeps the old software version =
after a download.=20
b.. The /reload option reloads the system after downloading the =
image unless the configuration has been changed and not been saved.=20
c.. For //location, specify the IP address of the TFTP server.=20
d.. For /directory/image-name.tar, specify the directory =
(optional) and the image to download. Directory and image names are case =
sensitive.=20
=20
=20
The download algorithm verifies that the image is appropriate for the =
switch model and that enough DRAM is present, or it aborts the process =
and reports an error. If you specify the /overwrite option, the download =
algorithm removes the existing image on the Flash device whether or not =
it is the same as the new one, downloads the new image, and then reloads =
the software.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------=
-------
Note If the Flash device has sufficient space to hold two images =
and you want to overwrite one of these images with the same version, you =
must specify the /overwrite option. =20
-------------------------------------------------------------------------=
-------
If you specify the /leave-old-sw, the existing files are not removed. If =
there is not enough space to install the new image and keep the current =
running image, the download process stops, and an error message is =
displayed.
The algorithm installs the downloaded image on the system board Flash =
device (flash:). The image is placed into a new directory named with the =
software version string, and the BOOT environment variable is updated to =
point to the newly installed image.
If you kept the old image during the download process (you specified the =
/leave-old-sw keyword), you can remove it by entering the delete /force =
/recursive filesystem:/file-url privileged EXEC command. For filesystem, =
use flash: for the system board Flash device. For file-url, enter the =
directory name of the old image. All the files in the directory and the =
directory are removed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------=
-------
Caution For the download and upload algorithms to operate =
properly, do not rename image names.=20
