Hi Jake,
My question.. why *can't* you TFTP a switch image over a single console
connection? Isn't that what the older Catalysts did? It was either SC0 or
SL0... console connection or SLIP connection. I can't see why you wouldn't
be able to TELNET over SLIP and TFTP a new image across the same in-band
connection.
Just a thought,
Paul Lalonde
