Introduction
This document explains how to download a software image to a Cisco 26 !2" !#" $eries Router using Trivial File Transfer %rotocol &TFT%' over the first LAN port using the R()mon tft"dnld command* -otes&

The R()mon TFT% transfer works on the first +,- port onl.* /owever0 for the Cisco 26120 .ou can choose the Token Ring or Fast Ethernet port* 2ou can onl. download files to the router* 2ou cannot use R()mon TFT% to get files from the router* The transfer does not support route 3ridging on Token Ring ports*
