Configuring TFTP 
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is a simplified version of FTP for file transfer over secure reliable 
networks. TFTP uses UDP port 69 for data transmission. In contrast to TCP-based FTP, TFTP requires no 
authentication or complex message exchanges, and is easier to deploy. 
TFTP supports the following transfer modes: 
•   Binary mode —Used to transfer image files, such as  .app and .bin .btm  files. 
•   ASCII mode —Used to transfer text files, such as  .txt, .bat , and  .cfg files. 
The device can operate only as a TFTP client (see  Figure 40) to upload or download files. 
Figure 40  TFTP applicati

on scenario 
 
 
Prerequisites 
Run a TFTP server program on the file host and set a TFTP working directory. 
Configure IP addresses and routes to make sure that the device and the TFTP server can reach each other.   
Using the device as a TFTP client 
The device provides the following modes for downloading a new file from a TFTP server:  
•  Normal download —The new file is written directly to Flas h and overwrites the old file that has the 
same name as it. If file download is interrupted, both old and new files are lost.  
•   Secure download—The new file is downloaded to memory an d will not be written to Flash until the 
whole file is obtained. A download failure does not af fect the old file that has the same name as the 
old file.  
To avoid undesired file loss, use the secure download mode. If you use the normal download mode 
because of insufficient memory, assign the new file a file name unique in Flash.  
You can use the  tftp client source command to specify a source IP address or source interface for the 
TFTP packets sent by the device. If a source interfac e (typically, a loopback interface) is specified, its 
primary IP address is used as the source IP address for the TFTP packets. The source interface setting and 
the source IP address setting overwrite each other.  
The  tftp client source  command setting applies to all TFTP sessio ns. When you set up a TFTP session with 
the  tftp command, you can also specify a different  source IP address for the TFTP session.  
 
 IMPORTANT: 
To avoid TFTP connection failures, when you specify a source interface for TFTP packets, make sure the 
interface has a primary IP address.

Managing the file system 
This chapter describes how to manage the devices file system, including the storage media, directories 
and files. 
Managing files 
 
  CAUTION: 
To avoid file system corruption, do not plug or
 unplug storage media or perform active/standby 
switchover while the system is  processing a file operation. 
 
You can display directory or file information; displa y file contents; rename, copy, move, remove, restore, 
and delete files. 
The copy operation enables you to create a file. You  can also create a file by performing the download 
operation or using the  save command. 
When you specify a file, enter the file name in one of the formats shown in,  Tabl e  18 . 
 
Table 18 File name formats  
Format Descri
ption Length Example 
file-name   Specifies a file in the current 
working directory.  1 to 91 
characters a.cfg indicates a file named 
a.cfg 
in the current working directory. 
This working directory might be on 
the master device or a subordinate 
device. 
path /file-name  Specifies a file in a specific folder 
in the current working directory.  
The 
path  argument represents the 
path to the file. If the file is in a 
single-level folder, specify the 
folder name for the argument. If the 
file is in a nested folder, separate 
each folder name by a forward 
slash (/).  1 to 135

Deleting/restoring a file 
You can delete a file permanently or just move it to the recycle bin. A file moved to the recycle bin can 
be restored, but a file pe rmanently deleted cannot. 
A file in the recycle bin occupies storage space. To release the occupied space, execute the  reset 
recycle-bin  command in the directory that holds the file. To save storage space, periodically empty the 
recycle bin with the  reset recycle-bin command. 
Perform the following tasks in user view: 
 
Task Command 
Delete a file by moving it to the recycle bin.  delete file-url 
Restore a file from the recycle bin.  undelete file-url  
Delete a file permanently.  delete /unreserved file-url  
 
Emptying the recycle bin  
Step Command Remarks 
1.  Enter the original working 
directory of the file to be 
deleted in user view.  cd
 { directory  | .. |  / }  Skip this step if the original 
directory of the file to be deleted is 
the current working directory. 
2.
  Empty the recycle bin.  reset recycle-bin [ /force ]  N/A 
 
Managing directories 
You can create or remove a directory, display or  change the current working directory, and display a 
specific directory. 
Displaying directory information

Creating a directory 
Perform this task in user view.   
Task Command 
Create a directory.  mkdir directory  
 
Removing a directory 
Before you remove a directory, you must delete all files and subdirectories in this directory. To delete a file, 
use the delete command; to delete a subdirectory, use the  rmdir command. 
The  rmdir  command automatically deletes the files in the recycle bin in the current directory. 
Perform this task in user view.  
 
Task Command 
Remove a directory.  rmdir directory  
 
Managing storage media 
Storage media management includes space assign ment. A storage medium is named based on the 
following rules: 
If a storage medium is the only storage medium of its type on the device, it is named by its type. For 
example, if the device has only one Flash, the name of the Flash is  flash. 
Managing storage medium space 
When the space of a storage medium becomes inaccessible, you can use the  fixdisk command to 
examine the medium for damage and repair any damage.  
The  format  command formats the storage medium, and all data on the storage medium is deleted.

    							 88 
 CAUTION:  
After a storage medium is formatted, all files on it
 are erased and cannot be restored. If a startup 
configuration file exists on the stor age medium, formatting the storage me dium results in loss of the startup
configuration file. 
 
To manage the space of a storage medium,  perform the following tasks in user view:  
Task Command Remarks 
Repair a storage medium. fixdisk device  N/A 
Format a storage medium.  format device   N/A  
 
Performing batch operations 
A batch file comprises a set of executable commands. Executing a batch file is the same as executing the 
commands one by one. However, execution of a batch  file does not guarantee successful execution of 
every command in the batch file. If a command has er ror settings or the conditions for executing the 
command are not satisfied, the system skips this command. 
You can edit a batch file on your PC, and then upload  or download it to the device. If the extension of 
the file is not  .bat, use the rename  command to change it to  .bat. 
To execute a batch file: 
 
Step Command 
1.   Enter system view. 
system-view 
2.  Execute a batch file. 
execute filename  
 
Setting the file system operation mode 
The file systems support the following operation modes: 
•  alert —The system warns you about operations that might cause problems such as file corruption 
and data loss. To prevent incorrect operations, use the  alert mode. 
•   quiet —The system does not prompt for any operation confirmation. 
To set the file system operation mode: 
 
Step Command Remarks 
1.   Enter system view. 
system-view  N/A 
2.  Set the file system operation 
mode.  file prompt
