TFTP in rommon

[Sheraz.Salim]

HI

I am having some problem with 1841 router. I deleted its image and now tying to download it from TFTP in rommon.  I am getting these messages.

I am connecting through router console to my laptop. and laptop has a TFTP sever I belive in my case TFTP server ip address and my laptop ip add must be same?.

Duplicate post.

Ok I find the solution. when you in romom follow these.

IP_ADDRESS=192.168.1.1

IP_SUBNET_MASK=255.255.255.0

TFTP_SERVER=192.168.1.2

TFTP_FILE=c1841.router.image.bin

DEFAULT_GATEWAY=192.168.1.1

tftpdnld

Make sure the file extention must be bin. to double check it, right click on the file, in General tap make sure its showing type of file: BIN FILE (.bin). the reason I am saying is I had a software install Power IOS it hide the router image .bin into some thing else and I couldnt work it out. After spending 2day hard work I figure it out. Make sure if you in windows 7 turn off the firewall. and use the crossover cable.

Hope this will help to others
