A.3.1 Setting up the tftp process
General prerequisites:
D The local address of the Switch and the IP address of the tftp servers or
the gateway are known to the Switch.
D The TCP/IP stack with tftp is installed on tftp server.
The following sections contain information on setting up the tftp process,
arranged according to operating system and application.
U SunOS and HP
V First check whether the tftp daemon (background process) is running,
i.e. whether the file /etc/inetd.conf contains the following line
(see Fig.
79) and whether the status of this process is “IW”:
SunOS
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/etc/in.tftpd in.tftpd
-s /tftpboot
HP
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/etc/in.tftpd tftpd
If the process is not in the file, or if the related line is commented out
(#), modify /etc/inetd.conf accordingly and then re-initialize the INET
daemon. This is done with the command “kill -1 PID”, where PID is
the process ID of inetd.
This re-initialization can be executed automatically by inputting the
following UNIX commands:
SunOS
ps -ax | grep inetd | head -1 | awk -e {print $1} |
kill -1
HP
/etc/inetd -c
