Using TFTP to recover Cisco IOS Image file, and to backup/restore configurations (CNA-04-003)

CCNA Exploration 4.0, Semester 4, "Using TFTP to recover Cisco IOS Image file, and to backup/restore configurations" Packet Tracer 5.0 practice file (CNA-04-003).




This Packet Tracer file is only a simple environment for you to "experience" using TFTP to recover Cisco IOS Image file, and to backup/restore configurations.

However, if you have access to physical real router/switch, especially when you are in a training course, do not waste your chance of practicing! Packet Tracer,as a simulator, is absolutely not comparable to real machines!

For example, it does not simulate all Cisco IOS behaviors. The following Packet Tracer screen captures shows many command option is still missing from the real Cisco 2960 switch.
