The following syntax must be observed:
tftp://host[/filedir]/
■
tftp:// – Defines TFTP protocol for the server connection.
■
host – Defines the IP address of the TFTP server. Valid IP addresses
consist of four numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. DNS host
names are not recognized.
■
filedir – Defines the directory, relative to the TFTP server root,
where the upgrade file can be found. Nested directory structures
are accepted. The directory name must be separated from the host,
and in nested directory structures, from the parent directory, with a
prepended forward slash “/”.
■
/ – The forward slash must be the last character of the URL.
ftp://[username[:password@]]host[/filedir]/
■
ftp:// – Defines FTP protocol for the server connection.
■
username – Defines the user name for the FTP connection. If the
user name is omitted, then “anonymous” is the assumed user name
for the connection.
■
password – Defines the password for the FTP connection. To
differentiate the password from the user name and host portions of
the URL, a colon (:) must precede the password, and an “at” symbol
(@), must follow the password. If the password is omitted, then “”
(an empty string) is the assumed password for the connection.
■
host – Defines the IP address of the FTP server. Valid IP addresses
consist of four numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. DNS host
names are not recognized.
■
filedir – Defines the directory, relative to the FTP server root, where
the upgrade file can be found. Nested directory structures are
accepted. The directory name must be separated from the host, and
in nested directory structures, from the parent directory, with a
prepended forward slash “/”.
■
/ – The forward slash must be the last character of the URL.
Examples
The following examples demonstrate the URL syntax for a TFTP server
at IP address 192.168.0.1 with the operation code image stored in
various locations:
■
tftp://192.168.0.1/
The image file is in the TFTP root directory.
■
tftp://192.168.0.1/switch-opcode/
The image file is in the “switch-opcode” directory, relative to the
TFTP root.
