tftpdnld question 1

[hellzx]

is tftpdnld used only in router>crossover cable>pc configuration or can it be used in router>switch>pc configuration too?

And if neither of the above are correct settings for tftpdnld can someone please explain just the physical configuration for tftpdnld? thanks

(the router i'm operating on is a 2621. I tried to load c2600-advsecurityk9-mz.123-14.T7.bin and it took me to rommon. The reason was not enough ram I think> 16/48)

As long as you have local network connectivity at layer two, it doesn't matter how you have it connected.

ty jneiberger.

you could use xmodem thru your console cable---takes a long time at 9.6Kbps, though.

 

[hellzx]

yes ty, xmodem is indeed very slow. Any way to crank it up even a little?

Take a look at the following link and you will find out how to use TFTP from rommon for disaster recovery via ethernet instead of xmodem.

A TIP if you use this. The commands are case sensative.
