Tftp Server Configuration Guidelines - HP FlexFabric 7900 Series Configuration Manual

TFTP server configuration guidelines

Create configuration files and host name files required for device automatic configuration on the TFTP
server, including the default configuration file device.cfg. For easy file name identification, use
configuration file names that do not contain spaces.
To use the host name file network.cfg, do the following:
Create a configuration file for each device on the TFTP server.
•
• Name the file in the format host name.cfg.
Add a mapping entry in the format ip host host-name ip-address for the host name file.
•
For example:
ip host host1 101.101.101.101
ip host host2 101.101.101.102
ip host client1 101.101.101.103
ip host client2 101.101.101.104
If a device resides in a network different than the TFTP server, configure the UDP helper function on the
gateway so the gateway changes the broadcast TFTP request from the device to a unicast packet and
forwards the unicast packet to the TFTP server. For more information about UDP helper, see Layer 3—IP
Services Configuration Guide.
