IPv6 Management Features

TFTP File Transfers Over IPv6

Enabling TFTP for IPv6

TFTP for IPv6 is enabled by default on the switch. However, if it is disabled, you can re-enable it by specifying TFTP client or server functionality with the tftp6 <client server> command. Enter the tftp6 <client server> command at the global configuration level.

Syntax: tftp6 <client server>

Enables TFTP for IPv6 client or server functionality so that the switch can:

• Use TFTP client functionality to access IPv6-based TFTP servers in the network to receive downloaded files.

• Use TFTP server functionality to be accessed by other IPv6 hosts to upload files to an IPv6 host.

U s a g e N o t e s

To disable all TFTP client or server operation on the switch except for the

 

auto-TFTP feature, enter the no tftp6 <client server> command. To re-enable

 

TFTP client or server operation, re-enter the tftp6 <client server> command.

 

When TFTP is disabled, instances of TFTP in the CLI copy command and the

 

Menu interface “Download OS” screen become unavailable.

 

The no tftp6 <client server> command does not disable auto-TFTP operation.

 

For more information, see “Using Auto-TFTP for IPv6” on page 5-19.
