Setting Up a Workstation as a TFTP Server

Configuring a TFTP server enables the Configuration Backup/Restore to operate. Setting up a workstation as a TFTP server is described in the following sections:

•Using Another Machine as a TFTP Server

•Setting Up TFTP

•Enabling the TFTP Daemon

•Creating the tftpboot Directory

Using Another Machine as a TFTP Server

Configuring the EM server as a TFTP server is optional. You can alternatively choose to use a different machine as the TFTP server, or not use the backup/restore functionality at all. If you choose to use another workstation as a TFTP server, make sure that backup files are empty. You also need the appropriate permissions set to allow read and write access. Backup files have the filename CARMGRaa.bb.cc.dd, where aa.bb.cc.dd is the IP address of the router. A backup file is created for the active Cisco router.

When the manager is set up as the TFTP server, the EM ensure that the backup files exist and have the correct permissions.

Setting Up TFTP

TFTP enables you to transfer files to and from remote systems. The EM Configuration Backup/Restore window allows you to back up and restore the EM configuration. TFTP transfers the configuration files from a device to your system through the network.

Verify the following:

•Daemon—TFTP daemon is enabled

•Environment—TFTP environment variable is set correctly

•Directory—tftpboot directory exists

Enabling the TFTP Daemon

The TFTP daemon must be enabled in order for the EM to upload or download a configuration file. If you are using standard Sun software, verify that the TFTP daemon (tftpd) is enabled as follows:

 

Step 1

Log in as a root user.

 

Step 2

Edit the /etc/inetd.conf file using a text editor (such as vi).

 

Step 3

Look in the /etc/inetd.conf file for the line that invokes tftpd. When the line is commented out (starts

 

 

with a pound sign # as in the following example), use a text editor to delete the pound sign.

 

 

#tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/in.tftpd in.tftpd -s /tftpboot

 

Step 4

Save the changes in the edited file and exit.

 

Step 5

Reboot the system.

 

Step 6

Verify that the TFTP daemon is enabled by entering:

 

 

netstat -a grep tftp
