vg204xm copy IOS from one to another

[richard.a.adams]

We have some new VG204xm's that we will be replacing from older ones currently on the network.   We have found that we need a newer IOS than what came in the box and 1 tech has already worked with our HQ to download it to his VG204xm.   He now wants to try to copy it to my VG204xm with a direct connect Ethernet cable on FA0/0.    CDP Neighbor shows my VG but we can't figure out the proper syntax to do the copy,  if it's possible at all.   Can anyone help?

Hi Richard,

You will need to configure IP connectivity between the 2 routers on the f0/0 interfaces.

Router 1
!
int f0/0
ip add 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.252
no shut
!

Router 2
!
int f0/0
ip add 192.168.0.2 255.255.255.252
no shut
!

The router with wanted IOS will need to become a tftp server

!
tftp-server flash:my-ios-file.bin
!

On the other router copy the file accross using tftp

copy tftp flash
192.168.0.1
my-ios-file.bin
