Tftp Upload Command Example; Uploading Via Console Port - ZyXEL Communications Intelligent Broadband Sharing Gateway P-324 User Manual

Step 34. Use the TFTP client (see the example below) to transfer files between the Prestige and the
computer. The file name for the firmware is "ras".
Note that the telnet connection must be active and the Prestige 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 Prestige to the computer, "put" the other
way around, and "binary" to set binary transfer mode.

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, "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 third party TFTP clients are listed earlier in this chapter.

17.4.4 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.
