microcisconet · ‎10-14-2009

Hello All,

I wanted to upgrade an IOS but my TFTP server is saying port 69 is currently being used by other services, how can i REGAIN the service of port 69 in order to upgrade as needed?.

Thank you all in advance,

regards,

Kill the process bound to that port. If the server is Windows, the output of netstat -a -n -o -b will tell you the process name and PID of the process bound to udp/69. UNIX systems have different tools. For example:

lsof -i :69

sockstat | grep udp | grep 69
