copy flash tftp backup

[sleekisme]

Hi peeps,

I am trying to run copy flash tftp from PC to 2600 router but keep getting
'Undefined error'. I am using Solarwinds TFTP server and windows server. I
Can ping the router interface and ping the PC. I have tried it with and
without ip default-gatway but no joy. Any pointers please.
Thanks Sleek.

Why don't you use a regular PC and the Cisco TFTP server? There can be a
number of things wrong. Do you use a firewall on your Windows server? Did
you configure your TFTP server correctly?

The fact that you can ping from your router to your Windows server only
means you have established a layer-3 communication between them. TFTP is on
layer 5 (in the TCP/IP stack). There could be everything wrong with your
TFTP server and you will still get the ICMP replies from your PC.

The "ip default-gateway" command isn't going to do anything for you. This
command is only used when ip routing is turned off on your router (the
router becomes just a node on the network like a PC, which is clueless
about routing). And you would only need it if your TFTP server is more than
one hop away from your router. As you know it, on LANs nodes don't need to
have routing capability for the communication to take place. The "ip
default-gateway" is used when you are upgrading your IOS and your router is
booted in the IOS image stored in ROM (which has no routing capability). In
order for your router to find the TFTP server which is more than one hope
away, you need to tell your router (just like you'd tell your PC) which host
is the Default Gateway. All packets sent by the router to another network
will first be forwarded to the Default Gateway, which in turn will route
them to the TFTP server.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^
Did you really try to copy from tftp to flash by issueing the given
cmd?
The I found the mistake. It hast to be copy <source> <destination>.
In your case that would be "copy tftp flash" to copy from PC to
router.

Check 'write' permissions on the TFTP server.

Are you trying to copy the IOS *to* the tftp server or are you trying to
pull it from the server? Your post is unclear on this.

If you are trying to copy it to the tftp server, make sure you create
(touch) the filename first. Or restart tftp server with the proper
argument so that it will create files on the fly.

Something simular on a 1600 or 1700.

There are two way to complete the command.

One is to give all the details on the command line.
the otherone is to let you prompt for the details.

When i had this problem one metode worked while the other didn't I am not
sure which one so try both.
