Strange, I don't have any TFTP-related commands when I boot into ROMMON.
I tried after a reboot with 12.2(25)SEE2 and 12.2(35)SE5, just to see if
they'd upgrade the ROMMON.
This is after a 12.2(35)SE5 install:

C3750 Boot Loader (C3750-HBOOT-M) Version 12.2(25r)SEC, RELEASE SOFTWARE

I can set "IP_ADDR" and "DEFAULT_ROUTER" of course, but I need the
"tftp" command to use it, right?
I guess the 3560 has the same basic software, basically being a 3750
without stacking, so it should be the same. I haven't tried with a 3550
yet, but since it's EoS I don't think I can justify using it.
Thanks though. :-)

Peter
