Determining the IP Address of Your Server

Determining the IP Address of Your Server
Loading a PIX Firewall or PDM image requires you to use TFTP server or FTP.
Note The Microsoft Windows-based TFTP server previously provided by Cisco Systems has been
discontinued and is no longer supported by Cisco Systems. Persons still using the server should consider
replacing it with any high quality freeware and shareware TFTP server. TFTP servers can be found by
searching for "tftp server" on the Web. We do not specifically recommend any particular TFTP
implementation.
Note that recent versions of Cisco IOS software support the use of FTP instead of TFTP for loading of
images or configuration files. Use of FTP overcomes a number of inherent limitations of TFTP, including
a lack of security and a 16 MB file size limitation.
Before using TFTP, determine the IP address of your server.
This section provides the information required to determine your IP address, and includes the following

Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP

On a Windows workstation, click Start>Accessories>Command Prompt to launch the Windows
command-line interface and then enter the ipconfig command as shown in the following example:
C:\> ipconfig
Windows 2000 IP Configuration
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
C:\>
In this example, the server's IP address is 209.165.200.225 with a network mask of 255.255.255.224.

Windows 98 or Windows ME

From a Windows 98 or Windows ME computer, you can view the IP address by clicking Start>Run and
entering the winipcfg command. Windows then displays a graphical user interface (GUI) listing the IP
address information.
