Configuring TFTP
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is a simplified version of FTP for file transfer over secure reliable
networks. TFTP uses UDP port 69 for data transmission. In contrast to TCP-based FTP, TFTP does not
require authentication or complex message exchanges, and is easier to deploy. TFTP is suited for reliable
network environments.
The device can only operate as a TFTP client. You can upload a file from the device to the TFTP server or
download a file from the TFTP server to the device. If you download a file with a file name that exists in
the target directory, the device deletes the existing file and saves the new one. If file download fails due
to network disconnection or other reasons, the original file cannot be restored. Therefore, use a
nonexistent file name instead.

FIPS compliance
The device supports the FIPS mode that complies with NIST FIPS 140-2 requirements. Support for features,
commands, and parameters might differ in FIPS mode and non-FIPS mode. For more information about
FIPS mode, see Security Configuration Guide.
TFTP is not supported in FIPS mode.
Configuring the device as an IPv4 TFTP client
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view N/A
2. (Optional.) Use an ACL to
control the client's access
to TFTP servers.
tftp-server acl acl-number
By default, no ACL is used
for access control.
3. Specify the source IP
address for TFTP packets
sent by the TFTP client.
tftp client source { interface interface-type
interface-number | ip source-ip-address }
By default, no source IP
address is specified, and
the primary IP address of
the output interface is used
as the source IP address.
