More commands (found in GUI-based FTP clients) are listed earlier in this
chapter.
Refer to the “Remote Management” on page 185 section to read about
configurations that disallow TFTP and FTP over WAN.
TFTP file upload
The BCM50a Integrated Router also supports the uploading of firmware files
using TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) over LAN. Although TFTP also
works over WAN, Nortel does not recommend doing this.
1 To use TFTP, your computer must have both Telnet and TFTP clients. To
transfer the firmware and the configuration file, follow the procedure shown
next.
2 Use Telnet from your computer to connect to the BCM50a Integrated Router
and log on. Because TFTP does not have any security checks, the BCM50a
Integrated Router records the IP address of the Telnet client and accepts TFTP
requests only from this address.

Put the SMT in command interpreter (CI) mode by entering 8 in Menu 24 –
System Maintenance .
4 Enter the command sys stdio 0 to disable the management timeout, so the
TFTP transfer is not interrupted. Enter command sys stdio 5 to restore the
five-minute management timeout (default) when the file transfer is complete.
