If necessary, assign an IP address for the local port on IPS-4240:
Step 6
rommon> ADDRESS=ip_address
Note
If necessary, assign the TFTP server IP address:
Step 7
rommon> SERVER=ip_address
If necessary, assign the gateway IP address:
Step 8
rommon> GATEWAY=ip_address
Verify that you have access to the TFTP server by pinging it from your local Ethernet port with one of
Step 9
the following commands:
rommon> ping server_ip_address
rommon> ping server
Step 10 If necessary define the path and filename on the TFTP file server from which you are downloading the
image:
rommon> IMAGE=path/file_name
Make sure that you enter the IMAGE command in all uppercase. You can enter the other ROMMON

commands in either lower case or upper case, but the IMAGE command specifically must be all
uppercase.
UNIX example:
rommon> IMAGE=/system_images/IPS-4240-K9-sys-4.1-4-S91.img
Note
Windows example:
rommon> IMAGE=C:\system_images\IPS-4240-K9-sys-4.1-4-S91.img

Use the same IP address that is assigned to IPS-4240.
The path is relative to the UNIX TFTP server's default tftpboot directory. Images located in the
default tftpboot directory do not have any directory names or slashes in the IMAGE
specification.
You can use the sync command to store these settings in NVRAM so they are maintained across
boots. Otherwise, you must type this information each time you want to boot an image from
ROMMON.
