2505 routers
Please help out a Cisco newbie with two naive questions: 1. The 2505 has two serial interfaces and 8 RJ-45 ethernet ports. Are the 8 ethernet ports routable interfaces, or is it just the serial ports? My hunch is that the ethernet ports just perform a hub function. 2. What qualifies as a TFTP server? My NT 4.0 server is an FTP server, does that count? If it's possible, what has to be done to an NT box to make it a TFTP server? Thanks in advance everyone!

1. Yes, the 8 RJ-45 ethernet ports perform the same function as a hub, and act as only a single router interface. 2. A TFTP server does not use logings or passwords, and uses port 69 instead of 21. IIS does not perform TFTP services, but there are many free TFTP servers available on the net for NT, including one from cisco's web site.

Re: 2505 routers
They're just hub ports, with an internal controller BUT, if you want to pass traffic to another segment or if you want to employ other "routing" functions, i.e. ACL's, Policy Routing destinations, caching tweaks, etc. then the hub connected devices are the segment/broadcast domain those routing functions would target. In other words, you're routing TO the devices connected to the hub through the E0 virtual interface. FTP is one of the TCP/IP applications and TFTP is another =8^) c'mon mister mcse, you knew that! you're testing us, right? =8^) but seriously, if you want the NT box to run the TFTP daemon (listening service) all you need to do is put one on there and configure it. Hummingbird Exceed, Netmanage Chameleon Suite are both good commercial products. You can also get some good information from: http://www.microsoft.com/NTServer/nts/exec/vendors/freeshare/default.asp r/ rainman Dave Page wrote: > Please help out a Cisco newbie with two naive questions: > > 1.

Re: 2505 routers
Hey Dave, You could always download the TFTP server from the Cisco web site. http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/tftp The greatest thing a newbie can learn is that almost everything you need to know is somewhere on the Cisco web site. The biggest problem is finding your way around until you get a good sized and organized "Favorites" area saved. The last time I changed jobs, I saved my personal files and a lot of other stuff to CDs from my old notebook. I forgot to save a copy of my Internet Explorer "Favorites Folder". It took weeks to recreate it. Some of the obscure links required searches the archives of this group. The archives of this group is my second favorite place to find info, if the cisco web site search engine gives me trouble.
