Chapter 9: Additional Access Point Features

Example: The following command takes file AP824X.PRG that is saved in the active boot drive on the access point client and stores it in the flash memory segment on the access point server that has IP address 1.2.3.4.

TFTP PUT 1.2.3.4 IB:AP824X.PRG 1:AP824X.PRG

The access point may generate these error messages when it issues a TFTP PUT command. Other error messages may be returned from the server and displayed by the access point. See your server documentation for additional information.

TFTP SERVER LOG

Purpose: The access point can function as a TFTP server. You can use the TFTP server log command to save a history of TFTP client requests. The TFTP server log contains useful TFTP server status information. The log begins when you set up the server. To clear the log, reboot the access point.

Syntax: TFTP SERVER LOG

TFTP SERVER START

Purpose: Use this command to enable the access point to act as a server. You can enable one access point to act as a TFTP server and download files to additional access points.

Syntax: TFTP SERVER START access

where access is blank for read-only access (default), or rw for read/write access. TFTP does not require any authentication, so a read/write TFTP server is very insecure and should be used only briefly. When the access point boots, read-only access is restored.

After you issue this command, the access point responds to TFTP client requests that are directed to its IP address. When acting as a server, the access point supports up to four concurrent TFTP sessions.
