TFTP Services and Image Size
Some Cisco IOS XR images may be larger than 32 MB, and the TFTP services provided by some vendors
(such as Sun Solaris) may not support a file this large. If you do not have access to a TFTP server that
supports files larger than 32 MB:
• Download the software image using FTP or rcp.
Use a third-party or freeware TFTP server that supports file sizes larger than 32 MB.
•
Download a patch from Sun Microsystems to correct this limitation (http://www.sun.com).
Adding tar Files
Use the tar keyword to add one or more PIE files in the tar file format. If the tar keyword is used, only
a single tar file can be added.
Note Multiple tar files or a combination of PIE and tar files is not supported.
