Client and server support
The client-server model partitions tasks between servers that provide a service and clients that
request a service.
For active ACLI clients, users initiate a client connection from the VSP switch to another device.
For non-active clients, the client exists on the switch and the switch console initiates the request,
with no intervention from users after the initial setup. For instance, Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a
non active client. The switch initiates the client request to the central server to obtain the up-to-date
time.
Clients
IPv4 support:
The switch supports the following active ACLI clients using IPv4:
• remote shell (rsh)
• rlogin
• Secure Shell version 2 (SSHv2)
• telnet
The switch supports the following non active client using IPv4:
• Network Time Protocol (NTP)
IPv4 and IPv6 support:
The switch supports the following active ACLI clients using IPv4.
• File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
• Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)
Note:
Both FTP and TFTP clients are supported by the switch. The switch does not launch FTP and
TFTP servers explicitly as a separate command; you can launch them through the ACLI copy
command. If you have configured the username through the boot config host command,
the FTP client is used to transfer files to and from the switch using the ACLI copy command; If
you have not configured the username, the TFTP client is used to transfer files to and from the
switch using the ACLI copy command.
Configuring the boot config flags ftpd or boot config flags tftpd enables the
FTP or TFTP Servers on the switch.
The switch supports the following non active clients using IPv4 and IPv6:
• Domain Name System (DNS)
• Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS)
Servers
IPv4 and IPv6 support:
