For IOS upgrade required TFTP server
TFTP- Trivial File Transfer Protocol
Download tftp server from solarwinds.com
https://www.solarwinds.com/free-tools/free-tftp-server
We have to configure router physical interface to particular IP address in order to access tftp server.
![](https://i0.wp.com/sukheshcs.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Screen-Shot-2020-04-28-at-10.50.25-PM.png?resize=822%2C247&ssl=1)
Open tftp server turn On
![](https://i1.wp.com/sukheshcs.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Screen-Shot-2020-04-28-at-10.54.00-PM.png?resize=489%2C565&ssl=1)

PSIR_2911(config-line)#transport input telnet ssh
PSIR_2911(config-line)#exit
PSIR_2911(config)#wr mem
now move latest iOS file to flash drive on router
PSIR_2911(config)#copy tftp://192.168.220.141/c2900-universal-mz.SPA.156-2.T2.bin flash:
![](https://i2.wp.com/sukheshcs.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Screen-Shot-2020-04-28-at-11.02.27-PM.png?fit=750%2C327&ssl=1)
After complete transfer iOS file. check flash drive file received or Not
PSIR_2911# dir
![](https://i2.wp.com/sukheshcs.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Screen-Shot-2020-04-28-at-11.05.46-PM.png?fit=750%2C190&ssl=1)
Now we have to change old booting iOS file to new iOS file path.
PSIR_2911(config)#boot system flash:c2900-universal-mz.SPA.156-2.T2.bin
PSIR_2911(config)#exit
PSIR_2911#wr mem
PSIR_2911# reload

Now we have old iOS kept in flash drive. we have to remove from the system.
PSIR_2911#dir. – Note on the old file name
PSIR_2911# del flash:c2900-universal……M2.bin
confirm delete old iOS file.
