AI296 Commands: tftpboot

tftpboot

Description

This command displays the BOOTP/TFTP status or aborts attempts to contact the BOOTP server. The AI296 card attempts to contact a BOOTP server if certain conditions are met. These conditions are:

zThe card is in standalone mode.

AND

zThe card does not have an IP address set or no BOOT.INI file exists.

Attempts to contact the BOOTP server continue until a valid reply is received or until the IP address gets set by the user in another manner, such as with an “ip init” shell command.



Note: If the conditions are initially met, then the card will not attempt to contact the BOOTP server.

When AI296 receives the necessary information from the BOOTP server, it attempts to retrieve a configuration file from the TFTP server. The TFTP server information is contained in the response from the BOOTP server.
