Command Reference
tftp hostname vpn-instance
Purpose Use the tftp hostname vpn-instance to adopt VPN instance mode to access
TFTP server and upload and download files.
Syntax tftp hostname vpn-instance vpn-instance-name source-ip ip-address { get
| put | sget } source-filename [ destination-filename ]
Parameters hostname
Name of TFTP Server or IP address.
vpn-instance-name
Name of VPN instance.
ip-address
Source IP address.
get
FTP file downloading in normal mode, where the FTP
server writes data to the Flash memory during file
transfer. Therefore, when you specify
destianation-filename to system, new system file will
overwrite the original one momentarily. If system file
downloading fails, network disconnection for example,
might result in unsuccessful startup of the router. This
mode has a lower security factor.
sget
File downloading mode with protection. In this mode,
the router stores the received user file into its memory
and writes data to the Flash memory after file receiving
completes. This means if file downloading fails
because of network disconnection for example, the
router can still start up because the original file is not
overwritten. This mode has a higher security factor,
however consumes more memory than the normal
mode.
put
Specifies to perform file uploading.
source-filename
Name of the source file.
destination-filename
Name of the destination file.
Example Upload the vrpcfg.cfg file to TFTP server in VPN instance mode. The IP address of TFTP
server is 172.31.1.7 and VPN instance name is vpn5.
