5 Using TFTP The Trace Route option has the following details. Target Address Minimum TTL Maximum TTL Timeout (sec) Numeric Specifies the IP address of the host at the other end of the route. You must specify this address in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons. Default is 1. Default is 30. Specifies how many milliseconds the router waits for a reply from the pinged device. You can specify a timeout from 1 to 4294967296 milliseconds. The default is 5000 (5 seconds). For parameters that require a numeric value, the trace route does not check that the value you enter is within the allowed range. Instead, if you do exceed the range for a numeric value, the software rounds the value to the nearest valid value. Using TFTP When the device reboots, or the auto-configuration feature has been disabled and then re-enabled, the device uses information from the DHCP server to contact the TFTP server to update the running configuration file. If the DHCP server provides a TFTP server name or IP address, the device uses this information to request files from the TFTP server. If the DHCP server does not provide a TFTP server name or IP address, the device requests the configuration files from the DHCP server. The device requests the configuration files from the TFTP server by asking for filenames in the following order: • Boot file name provided by the DHCP server (if configured) • Host name MAC address configuration file • Dellconfiguration file If the device is successful in contacting the TFTP server and the server has the configuration files, the files are merged. If there is a conflict, the server file takes precedence. If the device is unable to contact the TFTP server or if the files are not found on the server, the TFTP part of the configuration download process ends. Select Command > TFTP > Configuration to access the TFTP configuration. FIGURE 117 Command - TFTP Configuration 140 PowerConnect B-Series FCX Web Management Interface User Guide 53-1002268-01

Using TFTP
5
The Trace Route option has the following details.
Using TFTP
When the device reboots, or the auto-configuration feature has been disabled and then re-enabled,
the device uses information from the DHCP server to contact the TFTP server to update the running
configuration file. If the DHCP server provides a TFTP server name or IP address, the device uses
this information to request files from the TFTP server. If the DHCP server does not provide a TFTP
server name or IP address, the device requests the configuration files from the DHCP server.
The device requests the configuration files from the TFTP server by asking for filenames in the
following order:
•
Boot file name provided by the DHCP server (if configured)
•
Host name MAC address configuration file
•
Dellconfiguration file
If the device is successful in contacting the TFTP server and the server has the configuration files,
the files are merged. If there is a conflict, the server file takes precedence. If the device is unable to
contact the TFTP server or if the files are not found on the server, the TFTP part of the configuration
download process ends.
Select
Command > TFTP > Configuration
to access the TFTP configuration.

Target Address
Specifies the IP address of the host at the other end of the route. You must specify this
address in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons.
Minimum TTL
Default is 1.
Maximum TTL
Default is 30.
Timeout (sec)
Specifies how many milliseconds the router waits for a reply from the pinged device. You
can specify a timeout from 1 to 4294967296 milliseconds. The default is 5000 (5
seconds).
Numeric
For parameters that require a numeric value, the trace route does not check that the value
you enter is within the allowed range. Instead, if you do exceed the range for a numeric
value, the software rounds the value to the nearest valid value.
