P312 Broadband Security Gateway

Note: If you upload the firmware to the Prestige, it will reboot automatically when the

file transfer is completed (the SYS LED will flash).

Note that the telnet connection must be active and the SMT 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 workstation, “put” the other way around, and “binary” to set binary transfer mode.

10.5.1 Example TFTP Command

The following is an example tftp command:

TFTP [-i] host put p312.bin ras

where “i” specifies binary image transfer mode (use this mode when transferring binary files), “host” is the Prestige IP address, “put” transfers the file source on the workstation (p312.bin – name of the firmware on the workstation) to the file destination on the remote host (ras - name of the firmware on the Prestige).

The following table describes some of the fields that you may see in third party TFTP clients.

Table 10-2 Third Party TFTP Clients –General fields

Host

Enter the IP address of the Prestige. 192.168.1.1 is the

 

Prestige default IP address when shipped.

 

 

Send/Fetch

Press “Send” to upload the file to the Prestige and “Fetch” to

 

back up the file on your computer.

 

 

Local File

Enter the path and name of the firmware file (*.bin

 

extension) or configuration file (*.rom extension) on your

 

computer.

 

 

Remote File

This is the filename on the Prestige. The filename for the

 

firmware is “ras” and for the configuration file, is rom-0”.

 

 

Binary

Transfer the file in binary mode.

 

 

Abort

Stop transfer of the file.

 

 

TFTP over WAN will not work if:

1.You have disabled Telnet service in Menu 24.11.

2.You have applied a filter in Menu 3.1 (LAN) or in Menu 11.5 (WAN) to block Telnet service.

3.The IP you entered in the Secured Client IP field in Menu 24.11 does not match the client IP. If it does not match, the Prestige will disconnect the Telnet session immediately.

4.You have an SMT console session running.

5.The firewall is active. The default firewall policies block all traffic from the WAN, so to enable TFTP over the WAN, you must turn the firewall off (Menu 21.2) or create a firewall rule to allow TFTP from the WAN.
