Disregard... should have been smarter and looked at the wiki. Damn!

------------------------

> Just received a new Cisco 7960 (not refurb, but brand new) and it won't
> tftp the initial config file (OS79XX.TXT) from an FC3 box. The 7960 does
> get an appropriate dhcp response including the tftp address.
> 
> Using a sniffer, I see the tftp request being sent from the 7960 to the
> FC3 box, but the FC3 box responds with error code 4 (Illegal TFTP opertion)
> and an error message of "Request not null-terminated".
> 
> The tftp request (as observed with the sniffer) does indicate the initial
> request is null terminated without a shadow of a doubt. I even rebooted
> the FC3 (hated to do that since its uptime was very good) with exactly
> the same response.
> 
> Checked the permissions, etc, and they all look fine. Other Cisco 7960's
> have been booting just fine using this same FC3 tftp server.
> 
> Anyone have any thoughts on possible things to look at?
