1046 CHAPTER 82: TFTP CONFIGURATION
You are recommended to use the latter mode or use a filename not existing in the
current directory as the target filename when downloading startup file or
configuration file.
Multiple routes may exist for a TFTP client to successfully access the TFTP server.
You can specify one by configuring the source address of the packets from the
TFTP client to meet the requirement of the security policy of the TFTP client. You
can configure the source address by configuring the source interface or source IP
address. The primary IP address configured on the source interface is the source
address of the transmitted packets. The source address of the transmitted packets
is selected following these rules:
■ If no source address of the TFTP client is specified, a device uses the IP address
of the interface determined by the routing protocol as the source IP address to
communicate with a TFTP server.
■ If the source address is specified with the tftp client source or tftp command,
this source address is adopted.
■ If the source address is specified with the tftp client source command and
then with the tftp command, the source address configured with the latter
one is used to communicate with a TFTP server.
The source address specified with the tftp client source command is valid for all
tftp connections and the source address specified with the tftp command is valid
only for the current tftp connection.
Follow these steps to configure the TFTP client:

■ If no primary IP address is configured on the source interface, TFTP connection
fails.
