IPv6 Management Features
TFTP File Transfers Over IPv6
Enabling TFTP for IPv6
TFTP for IPv6 is enabled by default on the switch. However, if it is disabled,
you can re-enable it by specifying TFTP client or server functionality with the
tftp6 <client | server> command. Enter the tftp6 <client | server> command at
the global configuration level.
Syntax:
tftp6 <client | server>
Enables TFTP for IPv6 client or server functionality so that the
switch can:
• Use TFTP client functionality to access IPv6-based TFTP
servers in the network to receive downloaded files.
• Use TFTP server functionality to be accessed by other IPv6
hosts to upload files to an IPv6 host.
Usage Notes To disable all TFTP client or server operation on the switch except for the
auto-TFTP feature, enter the no tftp6 <client | server> command. To re-enable
TFTP client or server operation, re-enter the tftp6 <client | server> command.
When TFTP is disabled, instances of TFTP in the CLI copy command and the
Menu interface “Download OS” screen become unavailable.
The no tftp6 <client | server> command does not disable auto-TFTP operation.
For more information, see “Using Auto-TFTP for IPv6” on page 5-19.
