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.
