Through trial and error, I have found that you cannot copy the image of a Cisco2513 (c2500-js-l_112-17.bin) to the flash of a Cisco 4000 (the TFTP Server). (I have tried ....) However It looks will get success with letting the Cisco 4000 be a TFTP server for its own flash files. My logic: before the 4000 can be a server for a file, the file must exist in flash. Yet you can only get a file in the flash if it is a valid IOS file. Below is what I did and what I got trying to upload the Cisco2513 file to the Cisco 4000 so it can be a TFTP server for other Cisco 2500 routers. I went to the Cisco2513 and typed Cisco2513(config)#tftp-server flash c2500-js-l_112-17.bin this made the Cisco2513 a TFTP server. Then I went to the Cisco 4000 and typed Cisco4000#copy tftp flash Address or name of remote host []? 192.168.0.2 Source filename []? c2500-js-l_112-17.bin Destination filename [c2500-js-l_112-17.bin]? Accessing tftp://192.168.0.2/c2500-js-l_112-17.bin... the result: %Warning: File not a valid executable for this system %Error: This platform does not support relocatable images. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Erick B. Sent: Monday, December 11, 2000 12:33 AM To: Andy Walden; Pierre-Alex Cc: ItsMe; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: TFTP The tftp-server command can only serve up files that exist on the routers flash somewhere. If you do a 'show flash' and see the filename listed you can serve it. Best bet is to do a 'show flash' and copy the filename into clipboard so you can paste it on copy command, etc and have right spelling. In the output below, why would a 4000 have a 2613 image unless he is using it as storage space for TFTP. Does the c2500-js-l_112-17.bin image exist on the 4000? if it doesn't you can't do a tftp-server command on it. To get this image on the 4000 flash you would do a 'copy tftp flash' and follow the prompts. Again, IOS does not from my knowledge let you blindly TFTP files to the router flash from other locations. You have to manually do it and specify which files on the flash it will serve. This is for security so someone can't just send files to the router flash and fill it up. On some other vendor's boxes TFTP is wide open and when the flash system is full bad things may happen. copy (source) (dest) --- Andy Walden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > My quick response is that the file name is incorrect > somehow, but I'm not > completely sure.
