I'm trying to do image recovery on a Nexus 3000 series switch via TFTP.
I can boot the switch from the loader using TFTP. Using these commands:
set ip 192.168.0.110 255.255.255.0
set gw 192.168.0.1
boot tftp://192.168.0.120/n3000-uk9-kickstart.6.0.2.U3.9.bin
But when trying to save the kickstart image to the bootflash from the TFTP server i get this
switch(boot)# copy tftp://192.168.0.120/n3000-uk9-kickstart.6.0.2.U3.9.bin bootflash:/n3000-uk9-kickstart.6.0.2.U3.9.bin
Trying to connect to tftp server......
Connection to server Established. Copying Started.....
TFTP get operation failed:Network is unreachable
switch(boot)# show int
mgmt0 is up.
switch(boot)# show ip
ip routing is enabled
Both management interface and the PC is on the same subnet (/24), with same gateway (192.168.0.1). There is no firewall present on the PC, i've already turned that off.
When trying to ping the switch from the PC i get this.
C:\Users\Administrator>ping 192.168.0.110
Pinging 192.168.0.110 with 32 bytes of data:

I've used TFTPD64 and SolarWinds. I've tried changing the port used for TFTP to port 70, but didn't work.

- Check the logs of the particular tftp server when this is tried (and or turn on verbose mode) - if available
