Using Auto-TFTP for IPv6

At switch startup, the auto-TFTP for IPv6 feature automatically downloads a
software image to the switch from a specified TFTP server, then reboots the
switch. To implement the process the switch must first reboot using one of
the following methods:

enter the

boot system flash primary command in the CLI

with the default flash boot image set to primary flash (the default), enter
the

boot or the reload command, or cycle the power to the switch. (To

reset the boot image to primary flash, use

boot set-default flash primary.)

Syntax: auto-tftp <ipv6-addr > <filename >

Configures the switch to automatically download the
specified software file from the TFTP server at the specified
IPv6 address. The file is downloaded into primary flash
memory at switch startup. The switch then automatically
reboots from primary flash.

Notes: To enable auto-TFTP to copy a software image to

primary flash memory, the version number of the down­
loaded software file (for example, K_14_01.swi) must be
different from the version number currently in the
primary flash image.
The current TFTP client status (enabled or disabled)
does not affect auto-TFTP operation. (Refer to “Enabling
TFTP for IPv6” on page 5-18
.)
Completion of the auto-TFTP process may require
several minutes while the switch executes the TFTP
transfer to primary flash, and then reboots again.

The

no form of the command disables auto-TFTP operation

by deleting the

auto-tftp entry from the startup configuration.

The

no auto-tftp command does not affect the current TFTP-

enabled configuration on the switch. However, entering the
ip ssh filetransfer command automatically disables both auto­
tftp
and tftp operation.
