Install a TFTP server or an RCP server application on a TCP/IP-ready workstation or PC. Many
third-party vendors provide free TFTP server software, which you can find by searching for "TFTP
server" in a web search engine.
If you use TFTP:
Configure the TFTP application to operate as a TFTP server, not a TFTP client.
–
Specify the outbound file directory to which you will download and store the system image.
–
Download the new Cisco IOS software image into the workstation or PC. See the
Download the System Image?" section on page
Establish a console session to the router. We recommend that you connect your PC directly to the
