Troubleshooting TFTP Downloads
When using the menu interface, if a TFTP download fails, the Download OS
screen indicates the failure.
Message Indicating
cause of TFTP Download
Failure
Figure A-7. Example of Message for Download Failure
To find more information on the cause of a download failure, examine the
messages in the switch’s Event Log by executing this CLI command:
ProCurve# show log tftp
(For more on the Event Log, see “Using Logging To Identify Problem Sources”
on page C-23.)
Some of the causes of download failures include:
■ Incorrect or unreachable address specified for the
TFTP Server
parameter.
This may include network problems.
■
Incorrect VLAN.
■ Incorrect name specified for the
Remote File Name
parameter, or the
specified file cannot be found on the TFTP server. This can also occur if
the TFTP server is a Unix machine and the case (upper or lower) for the
filename on the server does not match the case for the filename entered
for the
Remote File Name
parameter in the Download OS screen.
■
One or more of the switch’s IP configuration parameters are incorrect.
