need advice on tftp server

sysadmin

Im running a solarwinds tftp server. Im trying to test a restore of a image from the tftp server to a pix 506 firewall. It will only transfer a portion of the file and then I'll get an error stating "Timeout error sending tftp-root from.." I've looked everywhere and I can't find anything that can help me. Is there a better TFTP server out there?

Thanks for you help

PS: Is it possible to restore the config of a pix 501 or a 515 to a pix 506 firewall?

Hi,

I most sense, it is possible, provided you keep the same OS on the target firewall as of source, and also make sure the license and the interfaces matches as well.

Thanks

FWIW- I use 'Pumpkin', available on www.klever.net.

Nice, lightweight, fast, free.

1st question:

- i think any TFTP Server will do but i also think PumpKIN is one of the best.

2nd question:

- you can restore that config but you'll have to be carefulll with the PIX OS, the sw licences and the number of interfaces

Regards.

Great thanks for the info.
