Installation Procedures Required by Cisco Routers

Installation Procedures Required by Cisco

Routers

If you are planning to work with Cisco routers, you must perform additional

steps after you install the Enterprise Conﬁguration Manager. Cisco routers

use TFTP, Trivial File Transfer Protocol, to transfer conﬁguration ﬁles.

Therefore, if you want to conﬁgure Cisco routers, you have to make sure your

workstation is set up as a TFTP server.

For UNIX Machines

Follow these steps to set up your workstation to support TFTP:

1. Become root (superuser).

2. Create the /tftpboot directory and give all users read/write permission to

the directory. Type the following:

mkdir /tftpboot

chmod 777 /tftpboot

3. Make sure there is a tftp entry in the /etc/services directory. To search

for the entry, type:

cd /etc

grep tftp services

You should see the following entry in the /etc/services ﬁle:

tftp 69/udp

If you don’t see the tftp entry, type the entry (as it appears above) in the

“Host speciﬁc functions” area near line 30.

4. In the /etc/inetd.conf ﬁle, ﬁnd the following line and uncomment it by

deleting the pound character (#) from the beginning of the line:

#tftp dgram udp........................../tftpboot

Then make sure the line ends with the -s /tftpboot option.
