Then again, all of this could be resolved if he had a tokenring nic :)

Has anyone tried to tftp a 2502 image to a flash module (in slot 1) in a
2501 and then moving that newly programmed module into slot0 of the 2502?

  No. I was talking about using the flash load helper, when you do a 'copy
tftp flash'. If your serial interface is HDLC, you've got a default gateway
on the router, you should be able to use FLH for TFTP through the serial.

    Are you talking about auto-install over frame-relay?

      Sorry, Nate. The 2500 series is run from flash. So it requires a
reboot to
      get it to start the download. If you watch the console port carefully,
it
      will come up and try to start the frame interface then start the
download.
      However, the 50 seconds or so for the LMI to sync up is more than the
      timeout on tftp so it will fail.

      So - best bet (er, only way to go) is LAN tftp.

      Does anyone know if there is a way to upgrade Cisco 2500 series
routers via
      a serial interface? I have a couple 2502's (no ethernet) that I want
to
      upgrade via a TFTP server. I have connected them via a serial
frame-relay
      connection to a 2501. The 2501 is connected to the subnet with the
TFTP
      server. I can see the TFTP server from the 2502 initially. However,
after
      issuing the "COPY TFTP FLASH" command, the 2502 reboots and looses
      connectivity back to the TFTP server, making it impossible to load the
new
      flash. Has anyone done this successfully?
