The following syntax must be observed:
tftp://host[/filedir]/
•
tftp:// – Defines TFTP protocol for the server connection.
•
host – Defines the IP address of the TFTP server. Valid IP addresses consist of four
numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. DNS host names are not recognized.
•
filedir – Defines the directory, relative to the TFTP server root, where the upgrade
file can be found. Nested directory structures are accepted. The directory name
must be separated from the host, and in nested directory structures, from the parent
directory, with a prepended forward slash "/".
•
/ – The forward slash must be the last character of the URL.
ftp://[username[:password@]]host[/filedir]/
•
ftp:// – Defines FTP protocol for the server connection.
•
username – Defines the user name for the FTP connection. If the user name is
omitted, then "anonymous" is the assumed user name for the connection.
•
password – Defines the password for the FTP connection. To differentiate the
password from the user name and host portions of the URL, a colon (:) must
precede the password, and an "at" symbol (@), must follow the password. If the
password is omitted, then "" (an empty string) is the assumed password for the
connection.
•
host – Defines the IP address of the FTP server. Valid IP addresses consist of four
numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. DNS host names are not recognized.
•
filedir – Defines the directory, relative to the FTP server root, where the upgrade file
can be found. Nested directory structures are accepted. The directory name must
be separated from the host, and in nested directory structures, from the parent
directory, with a prepended forward slash "/".
•
/ – The forward slash must be the last character of the URL.
Examples
The following examples demonstrate the URL syntax for a TFTP server at IP address
192.168.0.1 with the operation code image stored in various locations:
•
tftp://192.168.0.1/
The image file is in the TFTP root directory.
•
tftp://192.168.0.1/switch-opcode/
The image file is in the "switch-opcode" directory, relative to the TFTP root.
•
tftp://192.168.0.1/switches/opcode/
The image file is in the "opcode" directory, which is within the "switches" parent
directory, relative to the TFTP root.
