I have two routers. A Cisco 4000 (the TFTP server) and a Cisco2513 (the client) This is what I did and what I got. What went wrong?

TFTP: error code 2 received - Access denied THANKS Pierre-Alex -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Andy Walden Sent: Sunday, December 10, 2000 5:55 PM To: ItsMe Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: TFTP Did you bother checking before you have that answer? You can configure the network server to act as a limited Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server from which other Cisco servers can boot their software. As a TFTP server host, the network server responds to TFTP read request messages by sending a copy of its ROM software to the requesting host. The TFTP read request message must use the file name that you specified in the network server configuration. To specify TFTP server operation for a communications server, use the tftp-server system global configuration command. The full syntax follows. tftp-server system filename list no tftp-server system filename list This command has two arguments: filename and list. The argument filename is the name you give the communications server ROM file, and the argument list is an IP access-list number. The system sends a copy of the ROM software to any host which issues a TFTP read request with this file name. To learn how to specify an access list, see the "Configuring IP Access Lists" section in the chapter "Routing IP." You can specify multiple file names by repeating the tftp-server system command. To remove a previously defined file name, use the no tftp-server system command and append the appropriate file name and an access-list number. Images that run from ROM, including IGS images, cannot be loaded over the network. Therefore, it does not make sense to use TFTP to offer the ROMs on these images. Example: This command causes the router to send, via TFTP, a copy of the ROM software when it receives a TFTP read request for the file configfile. The requesting host is checked against access list 22. tftp-server system configfile 22 On Sun, 10 Dec 2000, ItsMe wrote: > Hmmm, the way I read your request - a router as a tftp server, to my > knowledge you, can't. > You need another box for the server itself? > > ""Pierre-Alex"" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message > [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > > Hi Group, > > > > How do you setup a router as a TFTP server? > > > > Which routers support that feature? > > > > Thanks > > > > Pierre-Alex > > > > _________________________________ > > FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: > http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html > > Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > _________________________________ > FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html > Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > _________________________________ FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________ FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
