Functional Description
26.1.8.4.3 TFTP (RFC 1350)
After a successful BOOTP completion, the device initiates the TFTP download of the boot image into
SRAM. The device has the capability to reach a TFTP server within the local subnet or outside, through
the gateway.
Timeouts and retries:
•
Timeout of 1s to receive a response for the READ request
•
5 retries for the READ request
•
Retries are managed by server once data transfer starts (server re-sends a data packet if the ACK was
not received within a timeout value)
•
Device has a 60s timeout to complete the data transfer, to handle the scenario if the server dies in the
middle of a data transfer
