Select Tools > Options in the menu bar. The Options window opens.1.
In the left−panel tree, expand the Inventory Manager folder and select Services for NetSight Client.2.
Under Automatic Launch, select the checkbox for each service that you want to automatically
launch:
NetSight BOOTP (Windows only) − Automatically launch the service at login. This service
must be running to provide BOOTP services to network devices. Linux and Solaris systems
provide their own BOOTP services.
•
NetSight TFTP − Automatically launch the service at either reboot or login (depending on
the operating system). The TFTP service must be running to perform firmware downloads.
On Linux and Solaris systems, the TFTP service is started when the workstation reboots. On
Windows, the TFTP service is started when you log in to the workstation.

In the TFTP Settings area, specify a TFTP root directory. The root directory is the base directory to
which the TFTP server is allowed access. The TFTP server will be allowed to create files to or read
files from this directory and any of its subdirectories. Use the default root directory, or if you would
like to use an alternate root directory, enter a path to that directory in this field or use the Browse
button to navigate to the directory. Changing the TFTP root directory may require restarting the TFTP
server.
4.
If your workstation is configured with multiple IP addresses, enter the appropriate IP address in the
TFTP Server IP Address field.

Before you can use the client−side NetSight TFTP server for firmware downloads, you must
configure it as an alternate firmware server in the Options windows. For complete instructions, see
How to Set Up Alternate Firmware Download Servers.
