TFTP Configuration: A Switch Operating as a TFTP Client

Basic configurations on a TFTP client
By default a switch can operate as a TFTP client. In this case you can connect the switch to the TFTP
server to perform TFTP-related operations (such as creating/removing a directory) by executing
commands on the switch.
Table 2-2 Basic configurations on a TFTP client
Operation

TFTP Configuration Example

Network requirements
A switch operates as a TFTP client and a PC as the TFTP server. The application named switch.bin is
stored on the PC. Download it (switch.bin) to the switch through TFTP, and use the boot boot-loader
command to specify switch.bin as the application for next startup. Reboot the switch to upload the
configuration file named config.cfg to the work directory on the PC to back up the configuration file.
The TFTP working directory is configured on the TFTP server.
Configure the IP addresses of a VLAN interface on the switch and the PC as 1.1.1.1 and 1.1.1.2
respectively. The port through which the switch connects with the PC belongs to the VLAN.
