Sure, I'd be happy to help you understand the process of copying an IOS file from one router to another router using TFTP and the necessary actions to allow the file to copy.
TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) is a simple file transfer protocol that is often used to transfer files between network devices. In order to copy an IOS file from one router to another using TFTP, the following steps need to be taken:
Step 1: Enable TFTP on the source router The first step is to enable TFTP on the source router (the router that has the IOS file you want to copy). This can be done using the tftp-server flash: <filename> command. This command enables the TFTP server on the router and specifies the IOS file that you want to copy. For example, if the IOS file you want to copy is named cisco-ios-image.bin and it is located in the flash memory of the router, you would enter the following command:
router1#configure terminal router1(config)#tftp-server flash:cisco-ios-image.bin
Step 2: Copy the IOS file to the destination router The second step is to copy the IOS file from the source router to the destination router (the router that you want to copy the IOS file to). This can be done using the copy tftp: flash: command. This command initiates the file transfer and specifies the source IP address (the IP address of the source router) and the filename of the IOS image to be copied. For example, if the IP address of the source router is 10.1.1.1 and the IOS image filename is cisco-ios-image.bin, you would enter the following command on the destination router:
router2#copy tftp: flash: Address or name of remote host []? 10.1.1.1 Source filename []? cisco-ios-image.bin Destination filename [cisco-ios-image.bin]? <enter>
At this point, the IOS file should begin transferring from the source router to the destination router. Depending on the size of the IOS file and the speed of the network connection between the routers, this process may take several minutes.
It's worth noting that there are a few additional actions that may need to be taken in order to allow the IOS file to copy, depending on the specific network configuration. These are listed as answer choices in the exam question, so let's go through them:
Answer A: Copy the file to the destination router with the copy tftp: flash: command This is one of the correct actions to take, as described above in step 2.
Answer B: Enable the TFTP server on the source router with the tftp-server flash: <filename> command This is also one of the correct actions to take, as described above in step 1.
Answer C: TFTP is not supported in recent IOS versions, so an alternative method must be used While it's possible that TFTP may not be supported in some IOS versions, this is not a universal truth. In general, TFTP is a widely-used protocol for transferring files between network devices, so it's a good idea to check the specific IOS version and configuration before assuming that TFTP is not supported.
Answer D: Configure a user on the source router with the username tftp password tftp command This action is not necessary in order to copy an IOS file using TFTP. User authentication is not required for TFTP transfers by default.
Answer E: Configure the TFTP authentication on the source router with the tftp-server authentication local command. This action is also not necessary in order to copy an IOS file using TFTP. Again, authentication is not required for TFTP transfers by default.
So, in summary, the two
