Firewalls - tftp-server

tftp-server

Specify the IP address of the TFTP configuration server. (Configuration mode.)

[no] tftp-server [if_name] ip_address path
clear tftp-server [[if_name] ip_address path]
show tftp-server

Syntax Description

if_name Interface name on which the TFTP server resides. If not specified, an internal interface is assumed. If you specify the outside interface, a warning message informs you that the outside interface is unsecure.

ip_address The IP address or network of the TFTP server.

path The path and filename of the configuration file. The format for path differs by the type of operating system on the server. The contents of path are passed directly to the server without interpretation or checking. The configuration file must exist on the TFTP server. Many TFTP servers require the configuration file to be world-writable to write to it and world-readable to read from it.

Usage Guidelines

The tftp-server command allows you to specify the IP address of the server that you use to propagate firewall configuration files to the firewalls. Use the tftp-server command with the configure net command to read from the configuration or with the write net command to store the configuration in the file you specify. The clear tftp-server command removes the tftp-server command from the configuration.
The firewall supports only one TFTP server.
The path name you specify in the tftp-server is appended to the end of the IP address you specify in the configure net and write net commands. The more you specify of a file and path name with the tftp-server command, the less you need to specify with the configure net and write net commands. If you specify the full path and filename in the tftp-server command, the IP address in the configure net and write net commands can be represented with a colon (:).
The no tftp server command disables access to the server. The show tftp-server command lists the tftp-server command statements in the current configuration.

Examples
The following example specifies a TFTP server and then reads the configuration from /pixfirewall/config/test_config:
tftp-server 10.1.1.42 /pixfirewall/config/test_config ... configure net :
