Slide 1 of 4 Purpose: This slide establishes an overview and reason to use the TFTP server as a load source or backup destination for Cisco IOS software. It then presents the preparation details needed before executing TFTP copies. Emphasize: Geographically distributed routers need a source or backup location for software images. Using a network server allows image and configuration uploads and downloads over the network. The network server can be another router, a workstation, or a host system. A router can be configured as a tftp server using the tftp-server global configuration command. Layer one - First, you need to check that you have access to the network server. Example, use the ping command to see if you can reach the server. Slide 2 of 4 Purpose: Emphasize: Layer 2 — you need to check that you have enough disk space on the tftp server to house the new system image. On the router, use the show flash command to determine the length of the IOS image. Slide 2 of 4 Purpose: Emphasize: Layer 3 — you need to check the naming conventions required on the server. Example, what is the max number of characters allowed in the filename by the server’s O.S? What is the max number of characters allowed in the filename extension by the server’s O.S? Slide 4 of 4 Purpose: Emphasize: Layer 4—On some Unix server, you may have to first create the file first before you can download the IOS image from the router to the tftp server. You can use the “touch” Unix command to create an empty file on the Unix server. Slide 1 of 1 Purpose: Emphasize: The show flash command is an important tool to use to gather information about your router memory and image file. Caution students that they must know that they are loading the correct and appropriate image. The name for the Cisco IOS image file contains multiple parts, each with a specific meaning: The first part of the image name contains the platform on which the image runs. In this example, the platform is C2500. The second part of
