Description

A TFTP upload uses the TFTP client software on the switch to upload files
from the file system on the system to a TFTP server on the network. You
can use the command to upload a switch’s active boot configuration file or
any other file from the file system, such as an SSL certificate enrollment
request or a public encryption key. This command can also upload a file
from a compact flash memory card in the switch to a TFTP server. You
can also use the command to upload the switch’s active AT-S63 software
image from the application block to a TFTP server, though it is unlikely you
would ever have need for that function.

When performing a TFTP upload, note the following:

ˆ

A TFTP upload is supported from a local, Telnet, or SSH management
session.

ˆ

There must be a node on your network that contains the TFTP server
software. The uploaded file will be stored on the server.
