BCM50a Integrated Router Configuration — Advanced
5 Launch the TFTP client on your computer and connect to the BCM50a
Integrated Router. Set the transfer mode to binary before starting data
transfer.
6 Use the TFTP client (see the example below) to transfer files between the
BCM50a Integrated Router and the computer. The file name for the firmware
is ras.
Note that the telnet connection must be active and the BCM50a Integrated Router
must be in CI mode before and during the TFTP transfer. For details about TFTP
commands (see “TFTP upload command example” on page 173), consult the
documentation of your TFTP client program. For UNIX, use get to transfer from
the BCM50a Integrated Router to the computer, put to transfer from the computer
to the BCM50a Integrated Router, and binary to set binary transfer mode.
TFTP upload command example
The following is an example TFTP command:
tftp [-i] host put firmware.bin ras
where “i” specifies binary image transfer mode (use this mode when transferring
binary files), “host” is the BCM50a Integrated Router’s IP address and “put”
transfers the file source on the computer (firmware.bin – name of the firmware on
the computer) to the file destination on the remote host (ras - name of the
firmware on the BCM50a Integrated Router).
Commands that appear in GUI-based TFTP clients are listed earlier in this
chapter.
