Chapter 25 Working with System Software Images
Uploading Software Images to a TFTP Server
To upload a software image on a switch to a TFTP server for storage, perform these steps:
Log into the switch through the console port or a Telnet session.
Step 1
Upload the software image to the TFTP server with the copy flash tftp command. When prompted,
Step 2
specify the TFTP server address and destination filename. On platforms that support the Flash file
systems, you are first prompted for the Flash device and source filename. If desired, you can use the copy
file-id tftp command on these platforms.
The software image is uploaded to the TFTP server.
This example shows how to upload the supervisor engine software image:

Ensure that the workstation acting as the rcp server supports the remote shell (rsh).
Ensure that the switch has a route to the rcp server. The switch and the rcp server must be in the
same subnetwork if you do not have a router to route traffic between subnets. Check connectivity to
the rcp server using the ping command.
