The specified interface must be an existing one; otherwise a prompt appears to show that the configuration fails.

The value of the ip-addressargument must be an IP address on the device where the configuration is performed, and otherwise a prompt appears to show that the configuration fails.

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.

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-interfaceand tftp source-ipcan 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 2-1, 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-configurationcommand to specify config.cfg as the main configuration file for next startup.

The TFTP working directory is configured on the TFTP server.

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.
