Appendix A
TFTP
Background
Software can be downloaded using the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)
and ATI’s image file. ATI’s switches support the use of TFTP in ASCII mode
to both upload configuration parameters to a host and/or download
configuration parameters to a switch.
What this means is straightforward: you can save configuration data from
many switches to a single host. TFTP also allows you to change the
configuration parameters of all switches easily through the use of an editor
and a batch file. Switches can even be reset to the factory default
configuration, if needed. Finally, using defined keywords, any configured
parameter can be chained once the switch has a configured IP address.
To use TFTP, you will need the following:
❑
A TCP/IP stack and a copy of the TFTP utility on your workstation
❑
The download password
❑
The name of the file on the remote host
❑
The IP address of the remote host (the switch)
❑
The local filename (or image filename)
While TFTP utilities vary from vendor to vendor as does the TFTP syntax,
the general form of the command line is as follows:
tftp <direction> <localfile> <hostIP> <ATS7> <mode>
where:
tftp invokes the utility
direction specifies which way the file is being transferred: get or put
localfile
specifies name of file on your workstation
hostIP specifies source or destination address
hostfile specifies name of file on the remote host (download password)
mode specifies the file transfer mode: ascii or octet
