Darren- you are right... but this is not always true when dealing with
2500's. The 2500 Enterprise routers pull IOS from FLASH to RAM (same as the
big Cisco's). I've only seen the "operate from FLASH" on older 2500's or
lower line (cheaper) models with non-Enterprise codes. In Pierre's
situation- the 4000 wanted to copy the 2500's image into it's FLASH bank,
here read only is OK (to "pull or read" the image from the 2500). The
running config containing TFTP-Server FLASH <image name> directs the image
to be pulled/read whether in RAM or FLASH. The 4000 needed read/write
permissions on it's FLASH, because it's the destination where the 2500 image
will be stored/written...
Here is an example of my 2500
2509>sh flash
System flash directory:
File Length Name/status
1 4784286 12-9Enterprise.MZ
[4784352 bytes used, 3604256 available, 8388608 total]
8192K bytes of processor board System flash (Read/Write)
Avoiding my studies :-)
