Description

A TFTP upload uses the TFTP client software on the switch to upload files
from the file system on the system to a TFTP server on the network. You
can use the command to upload a switch’s active boot configuration file
or any other file from the file system, such as an SSL certificate
enrollment request or a public encryption key. The command also allows
you to upload the switch’s active AT-S62 software image from the
application block to a TFTP server, though it is unlikely you would ever
have need for that function.

When performing a TFTP upload, note the following:

❑ A TFTP upload is supported from a local, Telnet, or SSH

management session.

❑ There must be a node on your network that contains the TFTP

server software. The uploaded file will be stored on the server.
