IPv6 Management Features

TFTP File Transfers Over IPv6

<ipv6-addr>: If this is a link-local address, use this IPv6 address format:

fe80::< device-id>%vlan< vid >

For example: fe80::123%vlan10

If this is a global unicast or anycast address, use this IPv6 format:

<ipv6-addr >

For example: 2001:db8::123

Using Auto-TFTP for IPv6

The auto-TFTP for IPv6 feature automatically downloads a software image to a switch, on which TFTP client functionality is enabled, from a specified IPv6­ based device at switch startup. You must reboot the switch to implement the downloaded software image by entering the boot system flash primary or reload command

Syntax: auto-tftp<ipv6-addr > <filename >

Configures the specified software file on the TFTP server at the specified IPv6 address to be automatically downloaded into primary flash memory at switch startup.

Note: In order for the auto-TFTP feature to copy a software image to primary flash memory, the version number of the downloaded software file (for example, E.10.78) must be different from the version number of the primary flash image.

The no form of the command disables auto-TFTP operation. This command deletes the auto-tftpentry from the startup configuration, and prevents auto-tftp operation if the switch reboots.

The no auto-tftpcommand does not affect the current TFTP- enabled configuration on the switch.
