Solved: Re: Do you guys know how to install other programs through TFTP server?

Eden Park · ‎10-05-2017

Just simply, I just roughly know that a router can have software installed on it via a TFTP server, but I couldnt find any information as to that issue.

Can you please let me know if you guys know about this?

Hello Eden

To be exactly, what TFTP does is only transfer the required software to the router. The same for FTP. This is just a mean to transfer an software from you PC to be installed on the router.

Just to make it clear, when I say software I am referring to IOS or Cisco related software properly designed to the referred router.
