Tftp Configuration Example - 3Com WX3000 Series Operation Manual

To do...
Specify an interface as the
source interface a TFTP client
uses every time it connects to a
TFTP server
Specify an IP address as the
source IP address a TFTP
client uses every time it
connects to a TFTP server
Display the source IP address
used by a TFTP client every
time it connects to a TFTP
server
The specified interface must be an existing one; otherwise a prompt appears to show that the
configuration fails.
The value of the ip-address argument must be an IP address on the device where the configuration
is performed, and otherwise a prompt appears to show that the configuration fails.
The source interface/source IP address set for one connection is prior to the fixed source
interface/source IP address set for each connection. That is, for a connection between a TFTP
client and a TFTP server, if you specify the source interface/source IP address only used for the
connection this time, and the specified source interface/source IP address is different from the
fixed one, the former will be used for the connection this time.
You may specify only one source interface or source IP address for the TFTP client at one time.
That is, only one of the commands tftp source-interface and tftp source-ip can be effective at
one time. If both commands are configured, the one configured later will overwrite the original one.

TFTP Configuration Example

Network requirements
As shown in Figure
configuration file named config.cfg is stored on the PC. Download it to the device through TFTP, and
use the startup saved-configuration command to specify config.cfg as the main configuration file for
next startup.
The TFTP working directory is configured on the TFTP server.
Configure the IP addresses of a VLAN interface on the device and the PC as 1.1.1.1 and 1.1.1.2
respectively. The port through which the device connects with the PC belongs to the VLAN.
