Setting Up a TFTP Server
AN/ANH and ARN routers need a network connection to a TFTP server to complete
•Setting up the TFTP daemon (TFTPD) to provide TFTP access
•Setting up static routes to AN/ANH and ARN routers (optional)
•Loading the changes into memory
Setting Up TFTPD
When you set up the TFTPD server on a UNIX workstation, you can allow TFTP access to the root directory and any subdirectory, or restrict TFTP access to a specified directory or path name.
Allowing TFTP access to all directories is the simpler procedure. Specifying a directory provides security, but requires either keeping the startup files in the specified directory or creating a link to each path name.
Providing TFTP Access to All Directories
To provide TFTP access to files in the root (/) directory and all subdirectories, insert the appropriate line for your operating system in the /etc/inetd.conf file. Find the sample line for your operating system in Table
