Cisco 2960: IOS backup setting

The first step, download a TFTP server, Cisco 3750X using Cisco TFTP Server on the line, free, small volume, has finished. Start TFTPServer.exe, and the root directory of the TFTP server for the specified to the directory change option, such as "D:CISCO\IOS", keep it open.

The second step, with twisted pair 2960 access network (if you have used in the network,skip this step) or with computer directly connected, and then control line connecting 2960 console port and computer serial port 1, connection terminal software function with the XMODEM Win2003 or XP (super terminal with this function, such as just a simple backup,XMODEM is not essential.).

The third step, a computer network with the same 2960 IP address, PING test passed, thenin 2960 should be able to see the computer's MAC, to ensure the communication between2960 and the normal computer.

Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 172.16.1.10, timeout is 2 seconds:

The fourth step, check the current IOS information 2960.

Switch#sh flash:

Directory of flash:/

32514048 bytes total (24178176 bytes free)

From the file attributes (the scarlet letter part) can be seen in the c2960-lanbase-mz.122-35.SE5 is a directory.

According to the experience, the IOS file name should be c2960-lanbase-mz.122-35.SE5.bin

The full path for the flash:c2960-lanbase-mz.122-35.SE5/c2960-lanbase-mz.122-35.SE5.bin

Write down this path information.

The fifth step, the TFTP server root directory IOS to the computer, the backup process.

Switch#copy flash: tftp:

Source filename c2960-lanbase-mz.122-35.SE5/c2960-lanbase-mz.122-35.SE5.bin []?

Address or name of remote host 172.16.1.10 []?

Destination filename [c2960-lanbase-mz.122-35.SE5.bin] (enter)?

5222733 bytes copied in 10.905 secs (478930 bytes/sec)

TFTP server root directory of computer examination, confirm file already exists.

Here, CISCO 2960 IOS backup is complete.

Note: this method is suitable for most of CISCO devices, such as routers etc..
