Setting TFTP Transfer Settings
Use the TFTP Transfer Settings view to set TFTP server properties. This view displays the TFTP server IP
address and root directory path specified in the Services for NetSight Server Options view and lets you set the
firmware directory path. These settings apply to all users on all clients.
Select Tools > Options in the menu bar. The Options window opens.1.
In the left−panel tree, expand the Inventory Manager folder and the File Transfer Settings folder, and
select TFTP Transfer Settings. The right−panel TFTP Transfer Settings view is displayed.
2.
Specify the Firmware Directory Path. The default firmware directory is tftpboot\firmware\images.
If you would like to use an alternate firmware directory, enter a path to that directory in this field, or
use the Browse button to navigate to the directory. The firmware directory must be a subdirectory of
the root directory. (The firmware images stored in the firmware directory are added to the left−panel
Firmware Mgmt tree when you perform a firmware discovery.)
NOTE: If you are using a TFTP server on a remote system, use the Universal Naming
Convention (UNC) when specifying the firmware directory path. The UNC convention
uses two slashes // (UNIX or Linux systems) or backslashes \\ (Windows systems) to
indicate the name of the system, and one slash or backslash to indicate the path within the
computer. For example, on a Windows system, instead of using
h:\ (where h:\ is mapped to the firmware directory on the remote drive)
use
\\yourservername\tftpboot\firmware\images\

Setting Services for NetSight Client Options
Use the Services for NetSight Client view to configure the NetSight TFTP and BOOTP services that are
installed on the client workstation as part of the Client−Only configuration. The client−side NetSight TFTP
service can be used to provide alternate firmware download capability for remote devices. It allows a remote
client to perform a firmware download without having to reconfigure the default NetSight TFTP server
settings. The view also lets you specify whether to automatically launch the NetSight TFTP and BOOTP
services at either reboot or login (depending on the service and operating system). These settings apply to all
users on this client. These options only apply to clients connected to a remote server.
