The following syntax must be observed:
tftp://host[/filedir]/
■
tftp:// – Defines TFTP protocol for the server connection.
■
host – Defines the IP address of the TFTP server. Valid IP addresses consist of
four numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. DNS host names are not
recognized.
■
filedir – Defines the directory, relative to the TFTP server root, where the
upgrade file can be found. Nested directory structures are accepted. The
directory name must be separated from the host, and in nested directory
structures, from the parent directory, with a prepended forward slash “/”.
■
/ – The forward slash must be the last character of the URL.
ftp://[username[:password@]]host[/filedir]/
■
ftp:// – Defines FTP protocol for the server connection.
■
username – Defines the user name for the FTP connection. If the user name
is omitted, then “anonymous” is the assumed user name for the
connection.
■
password – Defines the password for the FTP connection. To differentiate
the password from the user name and host portions of the URL, a colon (:)
must precede the password, and an “at” symbol (@), must follow the
password. If the password is omitted, then “” (an empty string) is the
assumed password for the connection.
■
host – Defines the IP address of the FTP server. Valid IP addresses consist of
four numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. DNS host names are not
recognized.
■
filedir – Defines the directory, relative to the FTP server root, where the
upgrade file can be found. Nested directory structures are accepted. The
directory name must be separated from the host, and in nested directory
structures, from the parent directory, with a prepended forward slash “/”.
■
/ – The forward slash must be the last character of the URL.
Examples
The following examples demonstrate the URL syntax for a TFTP server at IP
address 192.168.0.1 with the operation code image stored in various locations:
■
tftp://192.168.0.1/
The image file is in the TFTP root directory.
■
tftp://192.168.0.1/switch-opcode/
The image file is in the “switch-opcode” directory, relative to the TFTP root.
