Backup and Upgrade Switch ISO via Conso0le cable

[Faresnani]

Hello Community 

I want to take a copy of iso switch-1  and upgrade switch-2 with switch-1 iso to be with the same iso 

I already installed Putty for console connection and tftpd64 

how can I do it without making change in configuration?

Hi

 You need to copy from flash to the TFTP

copy flash: tftp:

First, you can do 'dir flash' to make sure which IOS file name.

then, copy flash: tftp:

inform the TFTP IP address

fine name  and wait the copy to complete. After that, do the same in the other switch. But this time  you use:

copy tftp:  flash:

so I set my TFTP IP with any ip address?

not required to config the switch ip?

You need to have connectivity between the switch and you PC, so yes, you need IP address on the switch side and on the PC side. Same network.

on the switch you can do like this:

int vlan 1

ip add 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

on the PC you can use 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0

Try to ping from and to switch just to make sure connectivity is OK

If the device able to act as TFTP Server then you can do, as example :

Looks like a PacketTracer exercise.  Is this correct?
