How to Upgrade the Cisco IOS Image
Examples
The following examples show how to copy a startup configuration to a TFTP server and how to copy
from flash memory to an FTP server.
Copying the Startup Configuration to a TFTP Server: Example
The following example shows the startup configuration being copied to a TFTP server:
Router#
copy nvram:startup-config tftp:
Remote host[]?
192.0.0.1
Name of configuration file to write [rtr2-confg]?
rtr2-config-b4upgrade
Write file rtr2-confg-b4upgrade on host 192.0.0.1?[confirm]
<cr>
![OK]
Copying from Flash Memory to a TFTP Server: Example
The following example uses the
dir flash0:
command in privileged EXEC mode to learn the name of the
system image file and the
copy flash0: tftp:
command in privileged EXEC mode to copy the system
image to a TFTP server. The router uses the default username and password.
Router#
copy flash0: tftp:
Source filename [running-config]?
Address or name of remote host []? 192.0.0.1
Destination filename [router-confg]? running-config
983 bytes copied in 0.048 secs (20479 bytes/sec)
