Getting IOS on some Cisco Routers
In this video we'll have a look at two Cisco routers, a 2620 and a 2951. Both of them don't have a copy of IOS on them, so they drop right into ROMMON over the serial console. We'll get IOS transferred to the 2620 via a TFTP server and to the 2951 on via a USB stick. Before firing up the TFTP server I'll do some housekeeping in the retro rack and reconfigure a bunch of networking gear and patch panels to make things better.
