z When a file needs to be uploaded, the client sends a write request to the TFTP
server. It then sends data to the server and receives acknowledgement from the
server.
TFTP can transfer files in two formats:
z Binary: used to transfer programs.
z ASCII code: used to transfer text files.
Before configuring TFTP, the network administrator should first configure the IP
addresses of the TFTP client and server and ensure that the client and the server are
reachable to each other.
The switch can only act as a TFTP client.
