B.1 SETTING UNIX WORKSTATION AS TFTP SERVER
Downloading an image file requires setting up your UNIX workstation as
a TFTP server.
Use the following steps to set up a UNIX workstation:
1. If you already have a /tftpboot directory, confirm the TFTP setup of
your workstation as follows:
Request a process status and grep for TFTP
(e.g., unix% netstat -a | grep tftp).
The following information represents a typical output:
user 161 7.7 1.2 32 184 p3 S 12:00 grep tftp
root 87 0.0 0.9 48 136 ? S 11:05 tftp -s
The term tftp -s, located at the end of the root string, indicates TFTP is
active. If TFTP is NOT running, only the grep process appears.
2. If you do NOT have a /tftpboot directory, then create one
(e.g., unix% mkdir tftpboot).
3. Ensure that the /tftpboot directory is not owned
(e.g., unix% chown nobody tftpboot).
NOTE
Due to variations between UNIX systems, and individual
configurations, this section provides only GUIDELINES for
configuring a UNIX workstation to perform an image file
download. The instructions include command examples, where
appropriate. Bold lettering in examples indicates operator entry.
!
CAUTION
If unsure about how to properly configure your UNIX
workstation using these guidelines, contact your Systems
Administrator.
