INTERFACE
ipv6 tftp source-interface
Overview
Use this command to manually specify the IPv6 address that all TFTP requests
originate from. This is useful in network configurations where TFTP servers only
accept requests from certain devices, or where the server cannot dynamically
determine the source of the request.
Use the
no
variant of this command to stop specifying a source.
Syntax
ipv6 tftp source-interface [
<interface>
|
<ipv6-add>
]
no ipv6 tftp source-interface
Default
There is no default source specified.
Mode
Global Configuration
Usage
This command is helpful in network configurations where TFTP traffic needs to
traverse point-to-point links or subnets within your network, and you do not want
to propagate those point-to-point links through your routing tables.
In those circumstances, the TFTP server cannot dynamically determine the source
of the TFTP request, and therefore cannot send the requested data to the correct
device. Specifying a source interface or address enables the TFTP server to send the
data correctly.
Example
To specify that TFTP requests originate from the IPv6 address 2001:db8::8a2e:7334,
use the following commands:
awplus#
configure terminal
awplus(config)#
ipv6 tftp source-interface 2001:db8::8a2e:7334

the IPv6 address of this interface as its source IPv6 address.
<ipv6-add>
The IPv6 address that TFTP requests originate from, in the format
x:x::x:x, for example, 2001:db8::8a2e:7334.
