TFTP Server Configuration
When you are downloading code to an endpoint, configure your TFTP server with
the following timeout values:
H Retransmission timeout – Value not less than 10 seconds.
H
Total transmission – Value not less than three times the retransmission
timeout.
You may also use the above values for a standard TFTP transfer.
NOTE:
Before initiating a download, verify that you can Ping to the TFTP server. If
you can not, do not proceed with the download. Also, make certain that the
files that you are going to download from exist in the system.
