This step is required only if you override the default remote username or password (see Steps 4, 5, and 6). Step 1: Verify that the FTP server is properly configured. The upload feature is available only if the HTML pages associated with the Cluster Management Suite (CMS) have been installed with the existing image.īeginning in privileged EXEC mode, complete these steps in order to backup the IOS image on an Autonomous Access Point to a TFTP server. When you copy an image file from the access point to a server by using FTP, the Cisco IOS software sends the first valid username in this list. The FTP protocol requires a client to send a remote username and password on each FTP request to a server. After these files are uploaded, the upload algorithm creates the tar file format. The archive upload-sw privileged EXEC command builds an image file on the server by uploading these files in order: info, the Cisco IOS image, the HTML files, and info.ver. The image-name.tar is the name of the software image to be stored on the server. Directory and image names are case sensitive. Step 3: Execute the following command from the privileged EXEC mode.Īrchive upload-sw tftp:/directory]/image-name.tarįor //location, specify the IP address of the TFTP server.įor /directory/image-name.tar, specify the directory (optional) and the name of the software image to be uploaded. Step 2: Log into the access point through a Telnet session. Cisco recommends the shareware TFTP utility available at There are many freeware TFTP servers on the internet. Ensure that the image to be downloaded is in the correct directory on the TFTP server. Check connectivity to the TFTP server by using the ping command. The access point and the TFTP server must be in the same subnetwork if you do not have a router to route traffic between subnets. Ensure that the access point has a route to the TFTP server. Step 1: Ensure the TFTP server is properly configured. Backup an IOS image using TFTPĬomplete these steps to backup the IOS image on an Autonomous Access Point to a TFTP server. The next section discusses the steps involved in performing the backup using the different methods. These improvements are possible because FTP and RCP are built on and use the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) stack, which is connection-oriented. The FTP and RCP transport mechanisms provide faster performance and more reliable delivery of data than TFTP. The protocol you use depends on which type of server you are using. You can use this uploaded image for future downloads to the same access point or another of the same type.
You can backup the IOS image on the access point using TFTP, FTP, or a RCP server. Preparing to Download or Upload an Image File by Using TFTP.
