Usage guidelines
You can use the tftp client source command to specify a source IP address or source interface for the TFTP
packets sent by the device. If a source interface (typically, a loopback interface) is specified, its primary
IP address is used as the source IP address for the TFTP packets. The source interface setting and the
source IP address setting overwrite each other.
IMPORTANT:
To avoid TFTP connection failures, when you specify a source interface for TFTP packets, make sure the
interface has been assigned a primary IP address.
The tftp client source command setting applies to all TFTP sessions. When you set up a TFTP session with
the tftp command, you can also specify a different source IP address for the TFTP session.
Examples
# Specify 2.2.2.2 as the source IP address for outgoing TFTP packets.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] tftp client source ip 2.2.2.2
# Use the primary IP address of interface GigabitEthernet 0/1 as the source IP address for outgoing TFTP
packets.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] tftp client source interface gigabitethernet 0/1
[Sysname]
