2500 ROUTER IOS UPGRADE BUFFER OVERFLOW ERROR MESSAGE

I am trying to install an IOS into a 2502 Router. However, when the TFTP server reaches 50 % I get an error message which is "Buffer overflow - 4193792 / 4193728". Why am I getting this message? When I do a sh version I get this output. I believe I have enough memory. The image which I am trying to load is c2500-i-l.121-25.bin.

Thank You, vreyesii

Hi Vreyesii,

It sounds like you have reached a SIZE limit of the TFTP Server S/W you are using,, however that is noramy around the 16MB size, not 4MB. One frequent failure that has been identfied is that some TFTP Server S/W doesnt correctly handle the large File sizes used these days. You need to use an updated TFTP Server. I use 3cdaemon and that handles large files fine.

Cheers.............pk.

Hi Peter,

I tried updating the TFTP Server and I still have the same problem. Do you think its the amount of Flash memory that the router has is not enough?

Thanks,

Vreyesii

"4096K bytes of Flash address space sized on CPU board. "

You appear to have 4M of flash.

The tftp issue by the way is that there is a max file size of

32M 64k x 512

Some implementations of tftp used signed numbers for the block counter and went wrong at 16M file size.

I like tftpd32.exe

no install, small just run it.

It is though getting more and more features but old versions are still on the web site.

I use 2.2 which does /not/ have a dhcp server.

Thanks for the help looks like I am going to have to get more Flash memory.
