One thing I didn't see in all the replies:

Let's say you have a 2500 router with no startup config and you want to
update the IOS. Before you go through the "copy tftp flash" script, add an
address to E0, "no shut" it, and then save the config. If you don't save
the config, the addressing is lost when the router reboots and then of
course it can't see the TFTP server.

I update my Lab 2500s all the time this way and unless I have a hardware
problem, it always goes smoothly.

Subject: 2500 problem loading IOS

my buddy here @ work has a 2500 w/ 16/16. i'm trying up upgrade to 12.2 and
am having some trouble w/ the tftp. after i do a copy tftp flash and
specify the file it askes if i want to erase the config in flash...i say
yes. it says "ok, dude - i must reboot"... then it reboots. when i comes
back up it times out when trying to connect to the tftp server. i've tried
pinging the router when it comes back up but it looks like it's loosing it's
ip address during the reboot <yes, i saved the config>. does anyone have
any suggestions on how to get this sucker up?

TIA.
