Replacement for copy tftp flash

fsebera

I need to copy a new IOS file to my switches and have a problem with TFTP (various issues) and serial x-fer and need a new way to accomplish this task.

Does anyone have a different procedure beside TFTP or serial x-fer and could provide enough detail to make it useful?

What kind of switches?

Cisco

6509E

6509 via the flash card

3750 via FTP

YES, but how do you get the IOS file onto the flash media in the first place?

Should I buy a multi-media card reader?

Is this the only option?

What sup are you using for this switch? Does it have a PCMCIA or Compact flash slot? Either way you'll probably need that reader. One other question. Does the sup have USB ports?

Hey Pompey,

I am using Sup720-10G sups with USB ports. I am running IOS s72033-adventerprisek9-mz.122-33.SXI.bin.

There are newly discovered bugs in this version and I will upgrage to the next release to address these bugs.

Are the USB ports usable in with the hardware/software I already have?

Any clues??

Tks

Frank

I don't have that sup on my network to check the functionality of the USB ports. If you get a compact flash reader/writer you should be good to go.
