Regarding that particular image, I just ran across this blurb on CCO: <snip> Be extremely cautious with any release that has a number following the maintenance release number inside the parentheses (y)---for example, the .5 in parentheses in the version number 10.2(3.5). These numbers indicate that this version of software is an interim build. Interim builds are unit tested, but have not been fully regression tested and should be used only for short-term, urgent point-fix situations until the next maintenance release is available. <snip> So, as I thought, that may not be the best image to put on that router. :-) > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "John Neiberger" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Sent: February 09, 2001 9:55 AM > > Subject: Re: IOS Upload > > > > > > > I believe that you can configure the 2611 to be a tftp server (using the > > global config mode 'tftp-server' command) but I've never tried it.
