tftp

The tftp commands allow you to configure the concentrator as a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server or to use it as a TFTP client to copy software or configuration files.

Syntax Description

get {code | config} TFTP_server_IP_address filename	Downloads software or a configuration file from the specified TFTP server. code specifies a software load. config specifies a text configuration file. TFTP_server_IP_address specifies the TFTP server IP address. filename is the name of the file you want to download from the TFTP server tftpboot directory. See "Usage Guidelines" for configuration file names.
put config TFTP_server_IP_address filename	Uploads a configuration file to the specified TFTP server. TFTP_server_IP_address specifies the TFTP server IP address. filename is the name of the file you want to upload to the TFTP server tftpboot directory. See "Usage Guidelines" for configuration file names.
{disable | enable} [timeout] [TFTP_client_IP_address]	Configures the concentrator to act as a TFTP server so you can get or put software or configuration files. disable cancels a previous enable command. enable allows you to use TFTP. You cannot use the concentrator as a TFTP server unless you enter this command from a console or from a remote host running Telnet. This command allows you to use TFTP within a specified period only from the remote IP host specified. timeout specifies how long in seconds you can TFTP to the concentrator. The default is 60 seconds. TFTP_client_IP_address specifies the IP host allowed to TFTP to the concentrator. By default, the concentrator uses the IP address of the Telent host issuing the enable command. If you issue the enable command from a console, you must specify an address.

Usage Guidelines

Transfer configuration files to and from the device using an ASCII mode transfer, and software files using a binary mode transfer. The following chart shows the different device types and configuration file names:

Concentrator	Configuration File Name
VPN 5001	vpn5001.cfg
VPN 5002 and 5008	vpn5002_8.cfg

You can also create a text-based configuration file and use VPN 5000 Manager to transfer the file to and from the device. This method uses a secure transfer mechanism, preventing the configuration from being observed while it is in transit to the device. See the Cisco VPN 5000 Manager Software Reference Guide for more information.
