Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

When you run the tftp command to log in to a TFTP server without specifying a source address or source interface, the source address or interface that is specified by tftp client-source is adopted by default. If you run the tftp command and specify a source address or source interface at the same time, you can log in to the TFTP server with the specified source address or interface.

Prerequisites

Ensure that the interface is configured before you configure the source interface type and interface number to establish connection with the server.

Example

# Set the source IPv4 address of the TFTP client to 10.1.1.1.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[~HUAWEI] tftp client-source -a 10.1.1.1

# Set the TFTP source as the loopback interface.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[~HUAWEI] interface loopback 0
[*HUAWEI-LoopBack0] ip address 10.1.1.1 24
[*HUAWEI-LoopBack0] quit
[*HUAWEI] tftp client-source -i loopback0

# Set the source IPv6 address of the TFTP client to 2001:db8:2::2.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[~HUAWEI] tftp ipv6 client-source -a 2001:db8:2::2
