I read about a lot of people using a text editor and tftp to create and manipulate their configurations to save time on the CCIE Lab exam. I understand the benefits of using this technique, but sometimes it seems as if it takes quite a while for me to set up the required routing to reach all of my routers via tftp. My real question concerns the use of a terminal server in this situation. I do not have a terminal server, but my understanding is that you telnet to the terminal server, which in turn has reverse telnet connections to each routers console port. If I was connected to the terminal server via a PC that had tftp server software installed, is there an easy way to use the reverse telnet connection to each router for the tftp file transfer? If not, would I have to have a tftp server connected to one router's Ethernet, and then set up routing to that ethernet's subnet on each router? I am trying to invision how this technique would save time in the lab if a tftp server is not readily available on a subnet common to all devices in the rack. I know a router can be configured as a tftp server, but I believe that it can only answer requests and can not be copied to. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I sit the lab on Feb 1 and I would like to develop some solid time-saving techniques. Thank you!
