IPv6 Management Features
TFTP File Transfers Over IPv6
Enabling TFTP for IPv6
Client and server TFTP for IPv6 is enabled by default on the switch. However,
if it is disabled, you can re-enable it by specifying TFTP client or server
functionality with the tftp <client | server> command. Enter the tftp < client |
server> command at the global configuration level.
Usage Notes To disable all TFTP client or server operation on the switch except for the
auto-TFTP feature, enter the no tftp <client | server> command. To re-enable
TFTP client or server operation, re-enter the tftp <client | server> command.
(Entering no tftp without specifying client or server affects only the client
functionality. To disable or re-enable the TFTP server functionality, you must
specify server in the command.)
When TFTP is disabled, instances of TFTP in the CLI copy command and the
Menu interface “Download OS” screen become unavailable.
The [no] tftp <client | server> command does not affect auto-TFTP operation.
For more information, see “Using Auto-TFTP for IPv6” on page 2-19.
Syntax: [no] tftp <client | server [listen <oobm|data|both>]>
Enables TFTP for IPv4 and IPv6 client or server functionality
so that the switch can:
• Use TFTP client functionality to access IPv4- or IPv6-based
TFTP servers in the network to receive downloaded files.
• Use TFTP server functionality on the switch to be accessed by
other IPv4 or IPv6 hosts requesting to upload files.
• For switches that have a separate out-of-band management
port, the listen parameter in a server configuration allows you
to specify whether transfers take place through the out-of-
band management (oobm) interface, the data interface, or
both. Refer to Appendix I, “Networked Out-of-Band
Management (OOBM)” in this guide for more information
on out-of-band management.
The no form of the command disables the client or server
functionality.
Default: TFTP Client and Server functionality enabled
