FTP and TFTP Configuration
1-17
Note:
z The specified interface must be an existing one, and otherwise a prompt appears to
show the configuration fails.
z The value of argument ip-address must be an IP address on the device where the
configuration is performed, and otherwise a prompt appears to show the
configuration fails.
z The source interface/source IP address set for one connection is prior to the fixed
source interface/source IP address set for each connection. That is, for a
connection between a TFTP client and a TFTP server, if you specify the source
interface/source IP address only used for the connection this time, and the specified
source interface/source IP address is different from the fixed one, the former will be
used for the connection this time.
z You may specify only one source interface or source IP address for the TFTP client
at one time. That is, only one of the commands tftp source-interface and tftp
source-ip can be effective at one time. If both commands are configured, the one
configured later will overwrite the original one.
1.2.3 TFTP Configuration Example
I. Network requirements
A switch operates as a TFTP client and a PC as the TFTP server.
z The TFTP work directory is configured on the TFTP server.
z The IP address of a VLAN interface on the switch is 1.1.1.1. The port through
which the switch connects with the PC belongs to the VLAN. The IP address of the
PC is 1.1.1.2.
The application named switch.bin is stored on the PC. Download it (switch.bin) to the
switch through TFTP, and upload the configuration file named config.cfg to the work
directory on the PC to backup the configuration file.
