Firmware and Configuration File Maintenance 25-11
Step 5. Use the TFTP client (see the example below) to transfer files between the VLC1012 and the computer.
The file name for the firmware is “ras”.
Note that the telnet connection must be active and the VLC1012 in CI mode before and during the TFTP transfer.
For details on TFTP commands (see following example), please consult the documentation of your TFTP client
program. For UNIX, use “get” to transfer from the VLC1012 to the computer, “put” the other way around, and
“binary” to set binary transfer mode.
25.4.6 TFTP Upload Command Example
The following is an example TFTP command:
tftp [-i] host put firmware.bin ras
where “i” specifies binary image transfer mode (use this mode when transferring binary files), “host” is the
VLC1012’s IP address, “put” transfers the file source on the computer (firmware.bin – name of the firmware on the
computer) to the file destination on the remote host (ras — name of the firmware on the VLC1012).
Commands that you may see in GUI-based TFTP clients are listed earlier in this chapter.
25.4.7 Uploading Via Console Port
FTP is the preferred method for uploading firmware to your VLC1012. However, in the event of your network
being down, uploading files is only possible with a direct connection to your VLC1012 via the console port.
Uploading files via the console port under normal conditions is not recommended since FTP is faster. Any serial
communications program should work fine; however, you must use the Xmodem protocol to perform the
download/upload.
