Appendix A: IMAGE FILE DOWNLOAD USING OIDS
A.1 SETTING UP A UNIX WORKSTATION AS A TFTP
SERVER
Due to variations between UNIX systems and individual configurations,
this section provides only GUIDELINES for configuring a UNIX
workstation to perform an image file download. The instructions include
command examples, where appropriate. Bold lettering in examples
indicates operator entry.
If unsure about how to properly configure your UNIX
!
workstation using these guidelines, contact your Systems
Administrator.
CAUTION
To set up a UNIX workstation, proceed as follows:
1. If you already have a /tftpboot directory, confirm the tftp setup of your
workstation as follows:
Request a process status and grep for tftpd (e.g., unix% ps-aux | grep
tftp).
The following information represents a typical output:
user 161
root 87
The term tftp -s , located at the end of the root string, indicates tftp is
active. If tftp is NOT running, only the grep process appears.
2. If you do NOT have a /tftpboot directory, than you must create one
(e.g., unix% mkdir tftpboot).
3. Ensure that the /tftpboot directory is not owned (e.g., unix% chown
nobody tftpboot).
