booting router from tftp: image is stored within a sub-dir in tftp root

Feb 13, 2007 0 Replies

Hi



I have a 7200 series router. Image version: c7200-is-mz.123-6f.bin I want to boot it from tftp.



The config register is set to 0x0 and the router is in rommon mode. I use the following command: rommon> boot



The router boots successfully from the specifed image.



The image is stored on the tftp server as : /tftpboot/



However, if the image is stored in a sub-directory on the tftp server and the sub-directory as well as all files/dirs inside it have 777 permission, and the command is: rommon>boot sharad/



the router does not boot up. I also tried, rommon>boot /tftpboot/sharad/



The image is stored as: /tftpboot/sharad/ but it does not work.



Any idea, how do I boot the router from tftp and pick up the image from a sub-dir in tftp root directory.



Any info will be appreciated.
