Uploading Files by
Means of TFTP
To upload a file, the client sends a request to the TFTP server and then transmits
data to it and receives the acknowledgement from it. You can use the following
commands to upload files.
Perform the following configuration in user view.
In the command, source-file indicates the file to be uploaded to server; dest-file
indicates the saved-as name of the file on TFTP server; tftp-server indicates the IP
address or host name of TFTP server.
TFTP Client
Configuration Example
Network requirements
The switch serves as TFTP client and the remote PC as TFTP server. Authorized TFTP
directory is set on the TFTP server. The IP address of a VLAN interface on the switch
is 1.1.1.1, and that of the PC is 1.1.1.2.
The switch application switch.app is stored on the PC. Using TFTP, the switch can
download the switch.app from the remote TFTP server and upload the vrpcfg.cfg
to the TFTP server under the switch directory for backup purpose.
