Configuring a Source Address for a TFTP Client
You can configure a source address for a TFTP client and use the source address to establish a TFTP connection, ensuring file transfer security.
Context
You can assign an IP address to an interface on a TFTP client and use this IP address as the source address to establish a TFTP connection.
Perform the following steps on the router that functions as a TFTP client:
Procedure
- Run system-view
The system view is displayed.
- Run tftp client-source { -a ip-address | -i { interface-type interface-number | interface-name } } or tftp ipv6 client-source -a ipv6-address [ -vpn-instance ipv6-vpn-instance-name ]
A source address is configured for the TFTP client.
The interface type specified by interface-type must be loopback.
After configuring a source address for a TFTP client, ensure that the source address of the TFTP client displayed on the server is the same as the configured one.
- Run commit
The configuration is committed.
