Note:
z
The specified interface must be an existing one. Otherwise a prompt appears to
show that the configuration fails.
z
The value of the
ip-address
argument must be the IP address of the device where
the configuration is performed. Otherwise a prompt appears to show that the
configuration fails.
z
The source interface/source IP address set for one connection is prior to the fixed
source interface/source IP address set for each connection. That is, for a
connection between an FTP client and an FTP server, if you specify the source
interface/source IP address used for the connection this time, and the specified
source interface/source IP address is different from the fixed one, the former will be
used for the connection this time.
z
Only one fixed source interface or source IP address can be set for the FTP client at
one time. That is, only one of the commands
ftp source-interface
and
ftp
source-ip
can be valid at one time. If you execute both of them, the new setting will
overwrite the original one.
1.2.3 Configuration Example: A Switch Operating as an FTP Server
I. Network requirements
A switch operates as an FTP server and a remote PC as an FTP client. The application
switch.bin
of the switch is stored on the PC. Upload the application to the remote
switch through FTP and use the
boot boot-loader
command to specify
switch.bin
as
the application for next startup. Reboot the switch to upgrade the switch application and
