These are the TFTP settings specified in the Services for NetSight Server Options view.
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\
