Using the tftpdnld Command
Note The command tftpdnld is present in the Cisco 2600 series routers only.
The tftpdnld command downloads a CiscoIOS software image from a remote server into flash memory
using TFTP.
tftpdnld—Begins the TFTP copy command.
The following variables are required:
– IP_ADDRESS—IP address for the router you are using.
– IP_SUBNET_MASK—Subnet mask for the router you are using.
– DEFAULT_GATEWAY—Default gateway for the router you are using.
– TFTP_SERVER—IP address of the server from which you want to download the image file.
– TFTP_FILE—Name of the file that you want to download.
– The following variables are optional:
– TFTP_VERBOSE—Print setting. 0=quiet, 1=progress, 2=verbose. The default is 1.
– TFTP_RETRY_COUNT—Retry count for ARP and TFTP. The default is 7.
– TFTP_TIMEOUT—Overall timeout of the download operation in seconds. The default is 2400
seconds.
– TFTP_CHECKSUM—Performs a checksum test on the image. 0=no, 1=yes. The default is 1.
The syntax for specifying the variables is:
VARIABLE_NAME=value
After you specify the variables, you must reenter the tftpdnld command. For example:
rommon 1 > tftpdnld
rommon 2 > IP_ADDRESS=172.15.19.11
rommon 3 > IP_SUBNET_MASK=255.255.255.0
rommon 4 > DEFAULT_GATEWAY=172.15.19.1
rommon 5 > TFTP_SERVER=172.15.20.10
rommon 6 > TFTP_FILE=/tftpboot/c2600-i-mz
rommon 7 > TFTP_VERBOSE=1
rommon 8 > tftpdnld

IP_SUBNET_MASK=255.255.255.0
DEFAULT_GATEWAY=172.15.19.1
