TFTP File Transfers over IPv6

You can use TFTP copy commands over IPv6 to upload, or download files to and from a physically connected device or a remote TFTP server, including:

■Switch software

■Software images

■Switch configurations

■ACL command files

■Diagnostic data (crash data, crash log, and event log)

For complete information on how to configure TFTP file transfers between the switch and a TFTP server or other host device on the network, refer to the “File Transfers” appendix in the Management and Configuration Guide for your switch.

To upload and/or download files to the switch using TFTP in an IPv6 network, you must:

1.Enable TFTP for IPv6 on the switch (see “Enabling TFTP for IPv6” on page 5-16).

2.Enter a TFTP copy command with the IPv6 address of a TFTP server in the command syntax (see “Using TFTP to Copy Files over IPv6” on page 5­ 17).

3.(Optional) To enable auto-TFTP operation, enter the auto-tftpcommand (see “Using Auto-TFTP for IPv6” on page 5-19).
