6710 Access Point User’s Guide 5-9

"

As a server, the access point can service read and

write requests from an access point client. To operate

as a TFTP server, the access point must be loaded

with these software versions:

"

ROM version 1.13 or greater

"

FLASH (USTART29.BIN) version 1.23 or greater

"

As a client, the access point can read files from and

write files to any TFTP server on the network. The

client always requests octet mode.

In general, TFTP client sessions should fail only if the

server is not responding because it is busy serving other

clients or because it has not been started. In either case,

the access point back-off algorithm should prevent excessive

network traffic when many access points are trying to

contact a TFTP server. When you type TFTP client

commands at the command line, the access point does not

retry failed transfers.

" NOTE:

Near the end of this section is a detailed example of how to use

TFTP to upgrade an access point with a new version of FLASH. The

example incorporates most of the TFTP commands.
