446 CHAPTER 39: TFTP CONFIGURATION
TFTP Configuration
Basic configurations on
a TFTP client
By default a switch can operate as a TFTP client. In this case you can connect the
switch to the TFTP server to perform TFTP-related operations (such as
creating/removing a directory) by executing commands on the switch.
Table 337
lists the operations that can be performed on a TFTP client.
TFTP Configuration
Example
Network requirements
A switch operates as a TFTP client and a PC as the TFTP server. The application
named switch.bin is stored on the PC. Download it (switch.bin) to the switch
through TFTP, and use the boot boot-loader command to specify switch.bin as
the application for next startup. Reboot the switch to upload the configuration file
named config.cfg to the work directory on the PC to back up the configuration
file.
■ The TFTP working directory is configured on the TFTP server.
■ Configure the IP addresses of a VLAN interface on the switch and the PC as
1.1.1.1 and 1.1.1.2 respectively. The port through which the switch connects
with the PC belongs to the VLAN.
