This example shows how to configure the software from the file tokyo-confg at IP address 172.16.2.155:Ĭonfigure using tokyo-confg from 172.16.2.155? yīooting tokyo-confg from 172.16.2.155:!!! The configuration file downloads, and the commands are executed as the file is parsed line-by-line.

copy tftp:/directory]/filename] nvram:startup-config.

copy tftp:/directory]/filename] system:running-config.

Use one of these privileged EXEC commands: Specify the IP address or host name of the TFTP server and the name of the file to download. Step 4 Download the configuration file from the TFTP server to configure the access point. Step 3 Log into the access point through a Telnet session. Step 2 Verify that the TFTP server is properly configured by referring to the 'Preparing to Download or Upload a Configuration File by Using TFTP' section. Step 1 Copy the configuration file to the appropriate TFTP directory on the workstation. To configure the access point by using a configuration file downloaded from a TFTP server, follow these steps: Permissions on the file should be world-write.ĭownloading the Configuration File by Using TFTP

During upload operations, if you are overwriting an existing file (including an empty file, if you had to create one) on the server, ensure that the permissions on the file are set correctly.

To create an empty file, enter the touch filename command, where filename is the name of the file you will use when uploading it to the server.

Before uploading the configuration file, you might need to create an empty file on the TFTP server.

The permission on the file should be world-read.

For download operations, ensure that the permissions on the file are set correctly.

Ensure that the configuration file to be downloaded is in the correct directory on the TFTP server (usually /tftpboot on a UNIX workstation).

Check connectivity to the TFTP server by using the ping command. The access point and the TFTP server must be in the same subnetwork if you do not have a router to route traffic between subnets.

Ensure that the access point has a route to the TFTP server.

For more information on the TFTP daemon, refer to the documentation for your workstation. To restart the daemon, either stop the inetd process and restart it, or enter a fastboot command (on the SunOS 4.x) or a reboot command (on Solaris 2.x or SunOS 5.x). Note You must restart the inetd daemon after modifying the /etc/nf and /etc/services files. Make sure that the /etc/services file contains this line: Tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/etc/in.tftpd in.tftpd -p -s /tftpboot On a Sun workstation, make sure that the /etc/nf file contains this line:

Ensure that the workstation acting as the TFTP server is properly configured.

Preparing to Download or Upload a Configuration File by Using TFTPīefore you begin downloading or uploading a configuration file by using TFTP, perform these tasks:

#HOW TO USE TRANSFER UTILITY LE ARCHIVE#

On the Telnet session of the AP, type this command:ĪP# archive download-sw /force-reload /overwrite t ftp://ip address/imageįilename (for e.g .tar ).To verify that the image is in the correct location, click on the Show Dir button, and verify that the image is listed along with other files. Copy the downloaded image file for AP in the same directory where the TFTP is installed.

#HOW TO USE TRANSFER UTILITY LE INSTALL#

Extract and install the TFTP server software.

#HOW TO USE TRANSFER UTILITY LE UPGRADE#

To upgrade the firmware through TFTP, perform these steps: The TFTP method is more stable and can also help in circumstances where the Access Point (AP) firmware is to be overwritten due to shortage of Flash memory. In those cases, the best option is to use the TFTP method which is telnet.

Using the HTTP method to upgrade the firmware does not always work.
