Refer to Section 37.2.5 on page 368 to read about configurations that disallow TFTP and FTP over WAN.

37.4.5 TFTP File Upload

The Prestige also supports the uploading of firmware files using TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) over LAN. Although TFTP should work over WAN as well, it is not recommended.

To use TFTP, your computer must have both telnet and TFTP clients. To transfer the firmware and the configuration file, follow the procedure shown next.

1Use telnet from your computer to connect to the Prestige and log in. Because TFTP does not have any security checks, the Prestige records the IP address of the telnet client and accepts TFTP requests only from this address.

2Put the SMT in command interpreter (CI) mode by entering 8 in Menu 24 – System Maintenance.

3Enter the command “sys stdio 0” to disable the console timeout, so the TFTP transfer will not be interrupted. Enter “sys stdio 5” to restore the five-minute console timeout (default) when the file transfer is complete.

4Launch the TFTP client on your computer and connect to the Prestige. Set the transfer mode to binary before starting data transfer.

5Use the TFTP client (see the example below) to transfer files between the Prestige and the computer. The file name for the firmware is “ras”.

Note that the telnet connection must be active and the Prestige in CI mode before and during the TFTP transfer. For details on TFTP commands (see following example), please consult the documentation of your TFTP client program. For UNIX, use “get” to transfer from the Prestige to the computer, “put” the other way around, and “binary” to set binary transfer mode.
