C Installing and Using TFTP
Overview: What Is TFTP?
TFTP, the Trivial File Transfer Protocol, allows the HP Server Remote
Management Card to access boot floppy images and new firmware images stored
at a LAN or modem-connected computer. TFTP is built on top of TCP/IP and is
functionally a subset of FTP. As its name indicates, this protocol is used to
transfer data between a "TFTP server" and either the HP Server Remote
Management Card or some other device that acts as the "TFTP client."
NOTE TFTP and the HP Server Remote Management Card depend on
the TCP/IP protocol. If you are able to view the HP Server
Remote Management Card user interface on your remote
computer, this protocol is already functioning correctly. If not,
modification of either your browser or networking
environment may be required.
The HP Server Remote Management Card uses the TFTP service to:
•
Access boot floppy images that allow administrators to help diagnose HP
Server problems and update the server BIOS.
•
Update the HP Server Remote Management Card firmware.
TFTP file transfer consists of client-side and server-side components. Because the
HP Server Remote Management Card has the client TFTP service built into its
firmware, you can use TFTP to transfer either firmware images or boot images
from either a local or a remote computer running a TFTP server program, see
Figure C-1.
