To do… Use the command… Remarks
Specify an interface as the source
interface a TFTP client uses every
time it connects to a TFTP server
tftp source-interface
interface-type interface-number
Specify an IP address as the
source IP address a TFTP client
uses every time it connects to a
TFTP server
tftp source-ip ip-address
Use either command
Not specified by default
Display the source IP address
used by a TFTP client every time it
connects to a TFTP server
display tftp source-ip
Optional
Available in any view
z
The specified interface must be an existing one; otherwise a prompt appears to show that the
configuration fails.
z
The value of the ip-address argument must be an IP address on the device where the configuration
is performed, and otherwise a prompt appears to show that the configuration fails.
z
The source interface/source IP address set for one connection is prior to the fixed source
interface/source IP address set for each connection. That is, for a connection between a TFTP
client and a TFTP server, if you specify the source interface/source IP address only used for the
connection this time, and the specified source interface/source IP address is different from the
fixed one, the former will be used for the connection this time.
z
You may specify only one source interface or source IP address for the TFTP client at one time.
That is, only one of the commands tftp source-interface and tftp source-ip can be effective at
one time. If both commands are configured, the one configured later will overwrite the original one.
TFTP Configuration Example
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 50-1 , the device operates as a TFTP client and a PC as the TFTP server. The
configuration file named config.cfg is stored on the PC. Download it to the device through TFTP, and
use the startup saved-configuration command to specify config.cfg as the main configuration file for
next startup.
z
The TFTP working directory is configured on the TFTP server.
z
Configure the IP addresses of a VLAN interface on the device and the PC as 1.1.1.1 and 1.1.1.2
respectively. The port through which the device connects with the PC belongs to the VLAN.
