FILE AND CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT COMMANDS
IP
TFTP SOURCE-INTERFACE
ip tftp source-interface
Overview Use this command to manually specify the IP address that all TFTP requests
originate from. This is useful in network configurations where TFTP servers only
accept requests from certain devices, or where the server cannot dynamically
determine the source of the request.
Use the no variant of this command to stop specifying a source.
Syntax
ip tftp source-interface [<interface>|<ip-add>]
no ip tftp source-interface
Default There is no default source specified.
Mode Global Configuration
Usage This command is helpful in network configurations where TFTP traffic needs to
traverse point-to-point links or subnets within your network, and you do not want
to propagate those point-to-point links through your routing tables.
In those circumstances, the TFTP server cannot dynamically determine the source
of the TFTP request, and therefore cannot send the requested data to the correct
device. Specifying a source interface or address enables the TFTP server to send the
data correctly.
Example To specify that TFTP requests originate from the IP address 192.0.2.1, use the
following commands:
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# ip tftp source-interface 192.0.2.1

decimal format.
