LAN ports on network modules or interface cards are not active in ROM monitor mode. Therefore,
only a fixed port on your router can be used for TFTP download. This can be a fixed Ethernet port
on the router, that is either of the two Gigabit Ethernet ports on Cisco routers with those ports.
You can only download files to the router. You cannot use the tftpdnld command to retrieve files
from the router.
