Download and install any TFTP Server software on your laptop/desktop.
(Example: tftpd from http://tftpd32.jounin.net/).
Make sure you can ping from your router to your laptop.
Copy the image from the router to your tftp server. (Use the copy command from CLI)
Download the image from the tftp to your second router.
Change the boot string on your second router to boot from this new image.
Reload your second router.
Abracadabra !

how I can delete the one that I just added .. Thanks
12-24-2008 09:43 AM
Hello Octorbust,
one router can act as tftp server for the other
you need to specify the file name
example:
tftp-server flash:c3640-js-mz.124-18.bin
use dir /all to find the ios name
do it on the source router
on the target router verify if you have enough space to write the new image
I do think so with a C3745
on the target c3745
copy tftp flash type enter
you are asked the ip address
the remote filename
the local filename
verify before you have connectivity with the source router.
after downloading the file check it with verify command
using show bootvar or sh run | inc boot
you need to add a
boot system flash statement with the new file in first position.
when it is fine save the configuration.
during a scheduled downtime issue the reload command
the target router should load the new image
Hope to help
Giuseppe

Giuseppe ..
I would like to try ur option , nothing against pthiagas response it just did not work or what not clear what needs to be done, but know I am stucked w/ an extra image on my source router.. can you help on how to delete that one w/ out taking the netwok down.. Thanks
12-24-2008 10:36 AM
Ocportbust,
Do delete an image from router 1,
"delete flash:filename_to_delete"
What you did wrong is:
r1#copy flash:c3745-ipbase-mz.124-1b.bin tffp
Destination filename [tffp]? x.x.x.x...my laptop
What you should have done is:
r1#copy flash:c3745-ipbase-mz.124-1b.bin tftp:
Destination filename
Note the spelling mistake for tftp and a missing ":"
The first question it prompts is a file name and not an IP Address.
Please make sure you take time to do this and never do it in a hurry as you may end up without an image on your router.
12-24-2008 10:41 AM
so in this case its
r1#delete flash:192.168.1.20
is that correct? because x.x.x. is the name that was in there wich is the Ip address of the server
Thanks

Dont delete any file now.
U want to copy image from router 1 to router 2. So u have to copy from router 1 to ur laptop. Which is not successful as u copied to R1 itself instead tftp server.
Can you see c3745-ipbase-mz.124-1b.bin on ur tftp server in ur laptop. if not copy again this timeit shd be tftp: not tffp.
If yes, ping from other router to your laptop if success ful .
Go to other router
copy from tftp: flash:
then provide ur tftp server IP
Once new image is there on your router 2, manually boot from router 2 using new image.Set bootpath for new image.
IF it works fine then do any delete work.
In case any doubt post it.

thanks for your input . the new problem that I have know is that this is a router in production ,, I just added an extra image wich is the same one look @ show flash input
r1#show flash
-#- --length-- -----date/time------ path
1 14450024 Mar 01 1993 00:04:08 -05:00 c3745-ipbase-mz.124-1b.bin
2 14450024 Dec 24 2008 12:51:48 -05:00 192.168.1.20
I need to take this one out first
2 14450024 Dec 24 2008 12:51:48 -05:00 192.168.1.20
so my question is should I do
r1# delete flash:192.168.1.20
Thanks
12-24-2008 11:22 AM
if u have just copied and not done anything else then u can delete ur command is correct.
12-24-2008 11:31 AM
r1#delete flash:?
flash:192.168.1.20 flash:c3745-ipbase-mz.124-1b.bin
r1#delete flash:192.168.1.20
Delete filename [192.168.1.20]? yes
Delete flash:yes? [confirm]
%Error deleting flash:yes (File not found)
r1#
am I doing something wrong
12-24-2008 11:34 AM
done .. Thanks A lot .. now I am going to take a break and do the copying later ... Thanks all for your help and sorry for the confusion.,.
12-24-2008 12:27 PM
now I am going to get back to copying the file .. here is what I have in mind going to happen ,, this just something that I type it and would like your opinion on it ,,I will start with
r1#config t
(config)#tftp-server flash:c3745-ipbase-mz.124-1b.bin
(config)#end
r1#wr
then when I go to r2 and I do the command I should see this,,
r2#copy tftp flash:
Address or name of remote host []? 192.168.1.20
Source filename []? c3745-ipbase-mz.124-1b.bin
Destination filename [c3745-ipbase-mz.124-1b.bin]?
Accessing ftp://192.168.1.20/c5350-is-mz.123-14.T7.bin...
This router is in production and I just want to put the image there for now t'l safe time and I will do the upgrade ,
question :
this should not effect the performance or take the router down,.,
12-24-2008 12:41 PM
u r trying now router to router transfer
check with router 2 if it can hold 2 image. If it doesnot have space for 2 image then you cannot copy while your nework is running.
While copying if it ask something like this
Accessing tftp://10.10.10.1//c2500-js-l.122-10b...
Erase flash: before copying? [confirm]
DONT CONFIRM as it is going to erase ur old file and reload and bring your network down.
this should not effect the performance or take the router down
If you have space to 2 image on router 2
If you dont change bootpath then having 2 image will not effect the performance or bring the router down.
