10.2.5 TFTP and FTP over WAN Restrictions
TFTP and FTP over WAN will not work when:
• Telnet service is disabled in menu 24.11.
• The IP address(es) in the Secured Client Sets menu (menu 24.11.1) does not match the client IP address. If it
does not match, the VES-1000 Series switch will disconnect the Telnet session immediately.
• There is an SMT console session running.
10.2.6 Backup Configuration Using TFTP
The VES-1000 Series switch supports the up/downloading of the firmware and the configuration file using TFTP
(Trivial File Transfer Protocol) over LAN. Although TFTP should work over WAN as well, it is not
recommended.
To use TFTP, your computer must have both telnet and TFTP clients. To backup the configuration file, follow the
procedure shown next.
Step 1. Use telnet from your computer to connect to the VES-1000 Series switch and log in. Because TFTP
does not have any security checks, the VES-1000 Series switch records the IP address of the telnet
client and accepts TFTP requests only from this address.
Step 2. Put the SMT in command interpreter (CI) mode by entering 8 in Menu 24 – System Maintenance.
Step 3. Enter command “sys stdio 0” to disable the SMT timeout, so the TFTP transfer will not be interrupted.
Enter command “sys stdio 5” to restore the five-minute SMT timeout (default) when the file transfer is
complete.
