2.2.1 TFTP Configuration: A Switch Operating as a TFTP Client
I. Basic configurations on a TFTP client
By default a switch can operate as a TFTP client. In this case you can connect the
switch to the TFTP server to perform TFTP-related operations (such as
creating/removing a directory) by executing commands on the switch.
Table 2-2
lists
the operations that can be performed on a TFTP client.

2.2.2 TFTP Configuration Example
I. Network requirements
A switch operates as a TFTP client and a PC as the TFTP server. The application
named
switch.bin
is stored on the PC. Download it (
switch.bin
) to the switch through
TFTP, and use the
boot boot-loader
command to specify
switch.bin
as the
application for next startup. Reboot the switch to upload the configuration file named
config.cfg
to the work directory on the PC to back up the configuration file.
