When does SWIM use the remote copy protocol (rcp) to transfer images?

A. If you have selected the rcp preference in Edit Preferences, SWIM uses rcp to transfer images (to upload and download) to Cisco IOS® Software devices that support CISCO-FLASH-MIB. Cisco Catalyst 5500/5000 switches and Cisco 700 series devices do not support rcp. Cisco IOS devices that do not support rcp include the Cisco 7000 series (route processor [RP]-based 7000 only) and MC3810. All other Cisco IOS devices support the rcp protocol. SWIM always uses the TFTP protocol for configuration file updates on Cisco IOS devices.
