Ensure that you have the "tftp-server flash <filename>" command in
your C2500 config. The below URL might help (while it is for 11.3
release notes, the process should be the same).

>Hi Pierre-Alex,
>The reason you are unable to TFTP an image to/from a Cisco2500 series
>router is because, unlike most other platforms, it runs the IOS from
>flash. If you do a "show version" on a Cisco2500 the flash will
appear
>as read-only and not read/write. Therefore, you will have to boot the
>router into boot-mode (change the config register to 0x2101) and you
>will notice now that the flash is read/write. You will now be able to
>TFTP the image to flash.
>
>I hope this helps, and if you have any problems let me know.
