Configuring Tftp; Configuring The Device As An Ipv4 Tftp Client; Configuring The Device As An Ipv6 Tftp Client - HP 12500 Configuration Manual

Configuring TFTP

Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is a simplified version of FTP for file transfer over secure reliable
networks. TFTP uses UDP port 69 for data transmission. In contrast to TCP-based FTP, TFTP requires no
authentication or complex message exchanges, and is easier to deploy. TFTP is suited for reliable
network environments.
The device can only operate as a TFTP client. You can upload a file from the device to the TFTP server or
download a file from the TFTP server to the device. If you download a file with a file name that exists in
the target directory, the device deletes the existing file and saves the new one. If file download fails due
to network disconnection or other reasons, the original file cannot be restored. Therefore, use a
nonexistent file name instead.

Configuring the device as an IPv4 TFTP client

Step
1. Enter system view.
2. (Optional.) Use an ACL to
control the client's access
to TFTP servers.
3. Specify the source IP
address for TFTP packets
sent by the TFTP client.
4. Return to user view.
5. Download or upload a file
in an IPv4 network.

Configuring the device as an IPv6 TFTP client

Command
system-view
tftp-server acl acl-number
tftp client source { interface interface-type
interface-number | ip source-ip-address }
quit
tftp server-address { get | put }
source-filename [ destination-filename ]
[ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ] [ source
{ interface interface-type interface-number |
ip source-ip-address } ]
76
Remarks
N/A
By default, no ACL is used
for access control.
By default, no source IP
address is specified, and
the primary IP address of
the output interface is used
as the source IP address.
N/A
The source IP address
specified in this command
takes precedence over the
one set by the tftp client
source command.
Use this command in user
view.
