Managing the Switch Using TFTP
Retrieving the Index of Valid Switch File Names:
The Switch contains a file called index which lists the valid file names, their file
type (binary or text), and their read/write permissions. This index can be
retrieved by connecting to the Switch using TFTP in text file transfer mode and
getting the file named index .
To retrieve the index of valid Switch file names:
1. Connect to the Switch using TFTP.
2 Select text file transfer mode.
3. Retrieve the file named index .
For example, your TFTP session may look like this if you are using a Unix
management station:
#tftp (Start TFTP)
tftp> connect 10.0.0.1 (Connect to the Switch using TFTP)
tftp> text (Select text file transfer mode)
text mode
tftp> get index (Retrieve the file from the Switch)
transferred 254 bytes in 0.5 seconds.
#cat index (Look at the contents of the index file.)
