21.4.6 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
Prestige's IP address and "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
Prestige).
Commands that you may see in GUI-based TFTP clients are listed earlier in this chapter.
21.4.7 Uploading Via Console Port
FTP or TFTP are the preferred methods for uploading firmware to your Prestige. However, in the event of
your network being down, uploading files is only possible with a direct connection to your Prestige via the
console port. Uploading files via the console port under normal conditions is not recommended since FTP
or TFTP is faster. Any serial communications program should work fine; however, you must use the
Xmodem protocol to perform the download/upload.
