Install Software with TFTP Server

A Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server allows you to transfer files across a network. You can upload files from the

AP for backup or copying, and you can download the files for configuration and AP Image upgrades. The Solarwinds

TFTP server software is located on the AP Installation CD-ROM. You can also download the latest TFTP software from

Solarwind’s Web site at http://www.solarwinds.net. The instructions that follow assume that you are using the Solarwinds

TFTP server software; other TFTP servers may require different configurations.

NOTE: If a TFTP server is not available in the network, you can perform similar file transfer operations using the HTTP

interface.See Update AP via HTTP.

After the TFTP server is installed:

• Check to see that TFTP is configured to point to the directory containing the AP Image.

• Make sure you have the proper TFTP server IP address, the proper AP Image file name, and that the TFTP server is

operational.

• Make sure the TFTP server is configured to both Transmit and Receive files (on the TFTP server’s Security tab), with

no automatic shutdown or time-out (on the Auto Close tab).

The following types of files can be downloaded to the AP from a TFTP server:

• Config (configuration file)

• Image (AP software image or kernel)

• UpgradeBspBl (BSP/Bootloader firmware file)

• License File

• SSL Certificate

• SSL Private Key

• SSH Public Key

• SSH Private Key

• CLI Batch File
