Using TFTP to Transfer Files
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP), a client-server protocol, can be used to transfer files between the
TFTP server and client. TFTP client functionality on the OmniSwitch is used to download files from or
upload files to the TFTP server within a LAN using the tftp command.
The following is an example of how to start a TFTP session to download a file from a TFTP server:
-> tftp -g -l local_file -r remote_file 198.51.100.50
When you enter the above command the following actions are performed:
• Establishes a TFTP session with the TFTP server 198.51.100.50.
• Downloads the ‘remote_file’ file and saves it to file named ‘local_file’.
You can specify a path for the specified file and if the file name is specified without a path then the
current path (/flash) is used by default. If a local filename is not specified, then the remote filename is
used by default. A TFTP server does not prompt for a user to login and only one active TFTP session is
allowed at any point of time.
Note. When downloading a file to the switch, the file size must not exceed the available flash space.
