Configuring the Management Station 49

Installing a TFTP Server

NOTE: If you use only the iDRAC Web interface to transfer SSL certificates and

upload new iDRAC firmware, no TFTP server is required.

Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is a simplified form of the File Transfer

Protocol (FTP). It is used with the SM-CLP and RACADM command line

interfaces to transfer files to and from the iDRAC.

The only times when you need to copy files to or from the iDRAC are when

you update the iDRAC firmware or install certificates on the iDRAC. If you

choose to use SM-CLP or RACADM when you perform these tasks, a TFTP

server must be running on a computer the iDRAC can access by IP number or

DNS name.
