TFTP Server Setup
A Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server lets you transfer files across a network. You can upload files from the unit
for backup or copying, and you can download the files for configuration and image upgrades. The SolarWinds TFTP
server software is located on the product installation CD, or can be downloaded from
. You can
also download the latest TFTP software from SolarWind’s Web site at
The instructions that
follow assume that you are using the SolarWinds TFTP server software
; other TFTP servers may require different
configurations.
NOTE:
If a TFTP server is not available in the network, you can perform similar file transfer operations using the HTTP
interface.
To download or upload a file, you must connect to the computer with the TFTP server through the 5012/5054-SUI’s
Ethernet port. This can be any computer in the network or a computer connected to the 5012/5054-SUI with a cross-over
Ethernet cable. For information about installing the TFTP server, see
Step 10: Install Documentation and Software
Ensure that:
1. The upload or download directory is correctly set (the default directory is
C:\TFTP-Root
).
2. The required image file is present in the directory.
3. The TFTP server is running.
The TFTP server must be running only during file upload and download.
You can
check the connectivity between the 5012/5054-SUI and the TFTP server by pinging the 5012/5054-SUI from the
computer that hosts the TFTP server. The ping program should show replies from the 5012/5054-SUI.
4. The TFTP server is configured to both Transmit and Receive files (on the
Security
tab under
File
>
Configure
), with
no automatic shutdown or time-out (on the
Auto-Close
tab).
