    Many TFTP clients cannot transmit anything beyond 32 megs.  Please either use the GUI to upload (https) or try SCP or FTP, instead.

    Greetings!

     

    This message indicates that there is some kind of connectivity issue between the switch and the TFTP server. Are you able to ping the TFTP server IP address successfully?

     

    If this is a switch with an Out-of-Band Management (OoBM) port, and you're using that connection to download the new software image, don't forget to add the 'oobm' option to the end of the command.

    My fault. I didn't realize I answered in the switching forum.
