    Setting up cisco TFTP server
    I have been trying to setup a cisco tftp server on my PC to connect to the cisco router so that I can backup the IOS config file. The tftp server gives me an IP address that I should use but when I enter that IP address on the cisco router, I get an error.

    Is there a procedure I should follow to setup the tftp server or to configure a more commands on the cisco router?

    You can use the poor man's approach to saving the config of any cisco router by issuing a "show running" and then copy the entire buffer (cut/paste). What you see on the screen is the config. That should hold you over until you figure out the tftp.

    Now... what tftp software are you using? I perfonally use Linux's tftp services to upload/download configs/images to/from my Cisco devices but you can certainly use Windows. Solarwinds makes a free full-feature tftp server that is simple to use that works that you may want to give a try.

    Things normally to look out for in tftp servers is whether your server is configured to allow downloads/uploads. Sometimes one or the other is not allowed by default.

    The TFTP server should just be a process running on your machine. The IP address SHOULD be your machine's IP address. If you are using one of Mr. Bill's operating systems (Windows) you should go to the computer where you installed the TFTP server and run IPCONFIG at a command prompt. The IP address shown should be the address for you to be using with the router.

    Cheers,
