Thank you guys, I hope you enjoyed this post. Last step… Let’s make sure we have assigned boot option to the router…īoot system flash bootflash:isr4300-universalk9.03.16.06.S.Īlright! Now we have successfully updated the Cisco router IOS Software! R2(config)# boot system flash bootflash:isr4300-universalk9.03.16.06.S.

R2(config) #ip TFTP source-interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0 ***.

*** if the TFTP server gives you a timeout error please issue the following command *** Source filename ? isr4300-universalk9.03.16.06.S.ĭestination filename ?

When you check TFTP server folder (windows operating system) you will see that the IOS is highlightedĪddress or name of remote host ? 192.168.2.1.

Time to copy the new IOS to the router’s boot flash! Now its time to visit the Cisco login page to download the software.įind the recommended Cisco IOS and download it to your pc then move the file onto the TFTP server (It has a small star icon next to version number)

Issue the command for checking the current Cisco IOS XE Software Ĭisco IOS XE Software, Version 03.16.06.S – Extended Support ReleaseĬisco IOS Software, ISR Software (X86_64_LINUX_IOSD-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 15.5(3)S6, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc3)Ĭopyright (c) 1986-2017 by Cisco Systems, Inc. Success rate is 100 percent (4/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/1/2 ms Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 192.168.2.1, timeout is 2 seconds:

R2(config) #ip TFTP source-interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0 ***** ( if your TFTP timeouts please do issue this command).

R2(config) #interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0.

In this Lab, I’m working with a Cisco 4000 Series Integrated Services Router which is different than with a traditional router IOS upgrade.

Use the following IP address: 192.168.2.1.

Issue the ncpa.cpl(network adapter) command on the cmd, then set a static IP on your Ethernet Adaptor. Use custom server binding and point the IP address to your ethernet adapter. Run Solar Winds TFTP server file -> configure -> Server Bindings I will be using the Solar Winds TFTP Server for my lab environment.

Here are a couple links for free TFTP server: Please follow the next steps:įirst of all, please make sure you have a TFTP server installed on your device (PC). This post will show you how to install and also upgrade your Cisco device’s IOS.
