If yes, how to activate/install it? A TFTP Server is basically used to transfer files between systems that are connected over a network. TFTP, also known as Trivial File Transfer Protocol, is an internet software utility that you can use to send or receive a file from a remote system.

I will even polish up the steps if anyone runs into problems - For the same of completeness, here's the TFTP server of choice for me.

It is a crossover ethernet cable needed.Brake lights are a sign your car doesn't handle well enough.
CCNP or MCSE is next to come. - Posts: 723Users Awaiting Email ConfirmationI used a straight through cable from the laptop to the transceiver port on the back of the router.
- I used a straight through cable from the laptop to the transceiver port on the back of the router.
For this to be successful the transceiver must support smart MDI/MDI-X i.e. when it senses the whether the other end of the cable is DCE or DTE it changes itself to suit.
This won't work on many devices so I always carry a 3 inch cross-over cable and a UTP coupler to give me flexibility.
My choice of TFTP server is the Solarwinds one. It has good default settings and leaves no trace. Run it from a USB memory stick with all the IOS images/config files in the same folder and all you need to configure is an IP address on the PC/host. - Posts: 723Users Awaiting Email Confirmation0·Share on Facebook
- Somebody must have been reading my mind! I was just today getting ready to install an ios on a 6506 with pumkin. This will definitely come in hand
- Posts: 723Users Awaiting Email ConfirmationThe directions are pretty similiar from the routers setup except for a few commands that need to be setup on the switches side. Here you go.
What you need
1. TFTP software on a computer (Were going to use PUMPKIN v2.7.2 Freeware)
2. A computer
3. Straight through cable
4. Cisco 2950 switch
5. Setup A ports interface as no shut, switchport mode access
6. Setup vlan 1 with ip address (correct subnet), no shut
***(You might have to setup the speed on the laptop or computers NIC as 100mb because the switch did not like AUTO, you can do this in device manager. Also make sure to change the switch side under the interface...for example speed 100 duplex full.)
7. Having your port correctly setup with “up and up” status on the switch and belonging to a properly configured subnet. Next plug in the straight through cable from the switch to laptop.
Steps
1. Install Pumpkin on 1 computer near your router. I used a laptop.
2. After installation open Pumpkin and select the “Option” button
3. Under the SERVER tab select a new path for the “TFTP filesystem Root” This is the directory where you can upload or download and IOS from. I just created a new folder on the desktop and named it TFTP and made that the root for simplicity reasons.
4. Next stay under the SERVER tab and make sure both radio buttons “Give all files” and “Take all files” are selected.
5. Click ok
6. That’s all we need to change under options
7. Go back to the main Pumpkin screen and make sure the little check box “Server is running” in the bottom right hand corner of the pumpkin main interface.
8. Next Turn off any firewalls you have on this machine.
9. Next go under network connections and navigate to your local area connections TCPI settings and statically assign the computer an IP address. Say if your Ethernet interface subnet on the router is 150.150.48.0. Assign the computer you’re setting the tftp server up with an address 150.150.48.1 for example. Also enter the correct subnet mask as well. They will now be on the same subnet. You do not have to setup a default gateway or DNS entries under TCPIP network connections settings.
10. Your next step is to ping the computer you setup the TFTP server on from the router. For example from the router ping 150.150.48.1 using my example.
11. A ping should be successful at this point – if not go back and troubleshoot (don’t get frustrated) either you forgot to turn the firewall off or your subnet for the Ethernet is not correctly setup.
13. The commands you’re going to be using are copy flash tftp or copy tftp flash.

Perhaps, I'm missing some basic step in PXE booting, but I have TFTPD32 running and when the computer connects via PXE it seem to load fine and then nothing.
What file do I need to point to as my bootfile? Is it on the Windows 2008 CD or do I need to make it?
Also, I have my TFTP server pointed to the root of the CD-ROM is that correct as well?
My problem:
- I have a DELL SC1425 that I can't get to boot windows 2008, because the boot CD does not support it. I need to be able to install windows 2008 on there.
- Because I can't boot any OS that's not on the CD (Although Linux distros load fine), I need to do some sort of network boot.

There's no easy recipe to boot an ISO image / DVD over PXE on a remote computer. The PXE client can't just download files from the PXE server's optical drive and run them. It Doesn't Work That WayTM.
If this is a case of a server computer purchased with a CD-ROM drive and you need to install something from a DVD go acquire a $20.00 internal DVD-ROM reader, pop the case, plug it in temporarily, and install. Copy the Windows setup files to the hard drive before you remove the temporary DVD-ROM. That'll be the fastest way to get you going. On a PowerEdge SC1452 you just need a parallel ATA DVD-ROM (aka ATAPI, aka IDE).
The necessary infrastructure to do a Windows Deployment Services (WDS) installation is non-trivial, and that's the 'Microsoft way' to do an install via PXE.

why not simply set up WDS and install? It's very simple
