Using TFTP to Transfer Files
The TFTP interface lets you upload and download configuration files and firmware. However, it is often easier to use the web or command line interface to do most TFTP tasks.
Prerequisites
•The TFTP interface requires TFTP client software. A shareware client is included on the Diva
•Connection via an Ethernet or USB port (except when device is in boot or fault mode).
•Support for TFTP server must be enabled via command line interface.
Enabling TFTP server support
TFTP is disabled by default. To enable TFTP support, log into the CLI (see Command Line Interface (CLI) on page 56) and enter the following commands.
enable tftp server save
