Configuring TFTP server on a PCMCIA

I would like to know if it is possible to configure a PCMCIA card as a TFTP server and how to do so. We have a need to put large call routing files near our gatekeepers and do not have any servers or PC's close. We were wondering if it is possible to put a TFTP server (somehow) onto a PCMCIA card in a router.
Thank you

this is how you can configure a router to be TFTP server.
But I don't understand what the problem is..
If you can telnet to the router you can TFTP IOS and configs ???

Copying From One Router to Another
To do this, you need to activate the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server on the router that has the Cisco IOS® Software image that you want to copy.
Use the tftp-server [device]:[filename] command in global configuration mode as follows:
Router#show flash
System flash directory:
File Length Name/status
1 11173264 c2500-jos56i-l.120-9.bin
[11173328 bytes used, 5603888 available, 16777216 total]
16384K bytes of processor board System flash (Read ONLY)
Router#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#tf
Router(config)#tftp-server ?
flash: Allow URL file TFTP load requests
flh: Allow URL file TFTP load requests
lex: Allow URL file TFTP load requests
null: Allow URL file TFTP load requests
nvram: Allow URL file TFTP load requests
system: Allow URL file TFTP load requests
Router(config)#tftp-server
Router(config)#tftp-server flash:?
flash:c2500-jos56i-l.120-9.bin
Router(config)#tftp-server flash:c2500-jos56i-l.120-9.bin
Router(config)#^Z
Router#
Once the tftp-server is configured, you can download the specified image from the router using the copy tftp flash command, as if it were a classic TFTP server.
Note: The IP address of your TFTP server is the address of the router on which you configured the tftp-server command.

Send the Configuration via TFTP server to New Router/Switch

Dears,
I need to apply a policy that for any new router or switch installation, specific configuration will be sent to these devices through one centralized TFTP server which comply with our configuration and rules, this is to avoid any miss configuration from the team and control the junior network Engineer to add any wrong configuration that can effect the network, is this possible? And how?

Hi,
I dont think is there any mechanism but yes to secure you can configure on router that tftp source interface for tftp server cofniguration upload and download into router or on server.

How to configure logs to be sent for TFTP server !?

hi
I want to let the router or the switch to sends the log to TFTP server, how can I do that !?
including things like debug commands results
thanks,

You want to send the logs to the Syslog server..right? Use the logging command to do it.
logging x.x.x.x is the command.
Use the logging trap command to set the level of logging.
Router(config)#logging trap ?
<0-7> Logging severity level
alerts Immediate action needed (severity=1)
critical Critical conditions (severity=2)
debugging Debugging messages (severity=7)
emergencies System is unusable (severity=0)

Configuring Cisco TFTP Server for CUCM

Hi,
I currently have a Publisher and two Subscriber (v 6.1.3), I have now gone over the magical 1250 devices where Cisco recommend a standalone TFTP server.
I understand to deploy it I need to add it to the Publisher as a Server and then once up and running enable the Cisco TFTP service, then update the Option 150 address in my DHCP scope to point towards the new TFTP server.
A couple of questions, does the TFTP server need the following installed at the same level as the Publisher/Subscribers:
Dial Plans
Device Packs
Locales
Thanks and any other comments appreciated.

Hi Ian,
- By architecture, the TFTP server would be the one pushing out the firmware load and to the phones - so you would need your device packs, containing the bundle of firmware loads, to be on your standalone TFTP server.
- locales install files which the phones get from the TFTP server, such as their dictionary - so you would need locales on the standalone TFTP server
- Dial plans are files used by the CCM binary file. If you are not planning on running CCM service on the server ever, you don't need to install dial plans on that server. However, as best practice, it is good to have dial plans, locales and device packs uploaded on this standalone TFTP server, in case the server roles were adjusted at a later point in time.

ASA 5505 Backup Config to TFTP Server

Is there a way to backup the configuration file to a tftp server? I've tried "copy start tftp" and copy run tftp". No luck, I get an error message. Thanks in advance.

What kind of error message did you get?
ciscoasa# write net ? WORD IP address of tftp server and file name :. Place IPv6 address within square brackets.

Jabber-config.xml no longer UTF-8 after TFTP Server upload?

I have a good jabber-config.xml I edited in Notepad++ and saved (UTF-8) and I upload it to TFTP via CMPlatform on CCM 9.1.2.11900-12. I've done this in the past a lot with 8.6.2, never had any issues.
I then restart CUCM TFTP services and download;
C:\>tftp 10.7.8.3 GET jabber-config.xml
Transfer successful: 2390 bytes in 1 second(s), 2390 bytes/s
I then open up my downloaded jabber-config.xml in Notepad++ and it says the file format is UCS-2 Litle Indian and not UTF-8 and looks like the attached photo. Greek. I tried in Notepad++ to convert.
I then setup a different test PC with Windows XP, etc. Same issue, also note that plain notepad sees the same problem. Why is the jabber-config.xml file getting corrupted by the TFTP server?

ChojinDSL wrote:Do you have a firewall running on that server?
Are your clients also using systemd?
Yes I do have a firewall, iptables, and it's the same configuration from before the migration to systemd. Also note that I can access the shares when explicitly defining the path whether that's in a File Manager, cli or other so access isn't being blocked. For lack of a better explanation the whole thing gives the appearance that although the Share is active it's just not broadcasting it's existence like it should be.
I have two PC's, both Arch, one with Openbox and one running KDE that I have migrated to systemd. Both can access the Share when the path is explicitly defined but don't see it when trying to just browse for the the Share. I have a Xoom tablet, running Android Jelly Bean, that exhibits the same behavior. I also have two media players, one an older WD LiveTV Plus model the other a newer WD LiveTV model, neither of which can see the share and browsing is the only option for those devices. So I've got a pretty good assortment of devices and operating systems that could see the share when browsing previously but can not see the same share by browsing since the migration to systemd on the file server.
Thank you.

How to make CUCM as a TFTP server , then copy files to Voice Gateway ?

how to make CUCM as a TFTP server , then copy files to Voice Gateway ? anyone knows?

Hi,
Please check the following link
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/admin/6_1_1/ccmsys/cucm-accm-611/a02tftp.html#wp1023004
Understanding How Devices Access the TFTP Server
You can enable the IP phones and gateways to discover the TFTP server IP address in one or more of the following ways, depending on the device type:
•Gateways and phones can use DHCP custom option 150.
Cisco recommends this method. With this method, you configure the TFTP server IP address as the option value.
•Gateways and phones can use DHCP option 066.
You may configure either the host name or IP address of the TFTP server as the option value.
•Gateways and phones can query CiscoCM1.
Ensure the Domain Name System (DNS) can resolve this name to the IP address of the TFTP server. Cisco does not recommend this option because it does not scale.
•You can configure phones with the IP address of the TFTP server. If DHCP is enabled on the phone, you can still configure an alternate TFTP server IP address locally on the phone that will override the TFTP address that was obtained through DHCP.
•Gateways and phones also accept the DHCP Optional Server Name (sname) parameter.
•The phone or gateway can use the value of Next-Server in the boot processes (siaddr).
Devices save the TFTP server address in nonvolatile memory. If one of the preceding methods was available at least once, but is not currently available, the device uses the address that is saved in memory.
You can configure the TFTP service on the first node or a subsequent node, but usually you should configure it on the first node. For small systems, the TFTP server can coexist with a Cisco Unified Communications Manager on the same server.

Change the tftp server for LMS

We have a central location that has numerous vpn connection to many different clients. Instead of using the TFTP server on LMS could I point LMS to use a tftp server on the client lan? That would make transfer of IOS so much fast instead of trying to copy across a heavily used WAN connection.

Hi,
Yes it is possible. There is a upgrade option using Remote Staging. The Remote Staging and Distribution option helps you to upgrade multiple devices over a WAN.
You can perform remote staging and distribution by either of the methods:
•External FTP server
•External TFTP server
•Remote Staging Device
In this workflow, a managed device or external TFTP server or FTP server is used to stage an image temporarily. The staged image is then used to upgrade devices that are connected by LAN to the Remote Stage device or external TFTP server or FTP server. If you use this method, you do not have to copy a similar image, multiple times across the WAN.
After the image distribution job is completed using a managed device as a remote stage device, the configuration changes made to the Remote Stage device are automatically reversed and the staged image is deleted from the Remote Stage device.
After the distribution job is complete, you can use the Software Mgmt Jobs tab to:
•Undo an upgrade and roll back to the previous image
•Retry devices that failed a previous upgrade
To distribute images using Remote Staging:
LMS 3.x :
Resource Manager Essentials > Software Mgmt > Software Distribution
LMS 4.x:
Configuration > Tools > Software Image Management > Software Distribution
Select Use remote staging and click Go to configure IOS upgrade job.

Copy IOS .tar to a tftp server

I'm unable to copy a Cisco WS-C3750G-12S IOS to a tftp server. The IOS is a directory but is there anyway of copying the .bin IOS. The current IOS is a .tar IOS which is a directory. Below is a copy of the sh boot.
Sh ver
BOOT path-list: flash:c3750-advipservicesk9-mz.122-25.SEE4/c3750-advipservicesk9-mz.122-25.SEE4.bin

You can copy your switch's current TAR IOS file to TFTP.
You can use tftpd32 v3.3 and set some parameters so file can be copied .
tftpd32 - > Settings -> TFTP Configurations
timeout (seconds) - 1200
Max Transmite - 100000
Type command on Switch (privileged EXEC mode)
Switch(2960-X)#
Switch(2960-X)#archive upload-sw tftp://tftp -server-ipaddress/ios file name
Switch(2960-X)#archive upload-sw tftp://172.20.100.100/c2960x-universalk9-mz.150-2.EX5
if TFTP server is directly connected to switch than it will be good so packets will not be drop.

Or no needs to configure IP ports interfaces on controller and it will work on L2.
Please give me direction to follow and recover IMAGE.

Alright! Image finally loaded!
I think it was very helpfull: Step 3 Set the timeout value on the TFTP server to 30 seconds
But image failed to boot.

TFTP server in Jabber for Windows

Hi All,
I am attempting to setup Cisco Jabber for windows in an CUCM 8.6.2 SU1 environment with Windows client 9.1.1
I am reading the documentation about setting up the environment for On premise.
The document refers to setting up your TFTP server for the Windows Jabber client.
Is it possible to use the tftp server on CUCM for this purpose or do we need to run a seperate TFTP server for the windows jabber client to get their configurations from?
Thanks very much for any help.
Regards
alalli

Yes, you can use the tftp server on CUCM.
Thanks,

TFTP Server in Snow Leopard

Running a MacBook Pro unibody here. Posted this in the regular Snow Leopard forums, and it was suggested I post here as well. In 10.5.8, I was using TFTP Server (v3.2.1) to configure and start OS X TFTP server. It worked pretty well, and gave a nice GUI interface for configuring. In 10.6, the program still works, but I cannot seem to start the tftp server. I've gone into Terminal and have tried various methods of starting tftpd there, and while the command runs, I get a "tftpd failed to start". I know enough about CLI/Unix/Linux to be dangerous, but am by no means a guru. Anybody else seen this? Suggestions? I'm OK if I need to start the service via terminal until the developer can fix TFTP Server, but at this point, it looks like something has changed in this regard on Snow Leopard.
Thanks!
Barry

I have the same problem, and another with pureftpd. The logs don't show much except that for ftp they say the port is already in use.
Extracts below, I suspect the security agent message deserves attention but I'don't know what it means.

Configuring Lync Server 2013 to be a partner Application for Exchange 2013

Hello Guys,
I just want to share my experience while configuring Lync server 2013 to be a partner Application for exchange 2013 sever.
As mentioned on technet you need to run Configure-EnterprisePartnerApplication.ps1 script that ships with Exchange 2013.
But when I tried to run the script as described on the technet article, I found it always fails with " the accepted domain is not valid"
I have checked my accepted domains many times and i found that there's no issues with my configured accepted domain.
So I started to review the script to find the issue and I found that the script was configured as below
$acceptedDomains = Get-AcceptedDomain ;
if ($acceptedDomains -eq $null)
WriteError ("There is no accepted domain so user can not be created.")
$acceptedDomain = $acceptedDomains[0].Name;
if($UseDomainController -eq $true)
$user = New-MailUser -Name $username -DomainController $DomainController -ExternalEmailAddress $username@$acceptedDomain;
set-mailuser -Identity $user.Identity -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true -DomainController $DomainController
else
$user = New-MailUser -Name $username -ExternalEmailAddress $username@$acceptedDomain;
set-mailuser -Identity $user.Identity -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true;
which is totally wrong as below:
firstly it makes $AcceptedDomain variable to equal the Name of the accepted domain.
Not all customers configure the name of the Accepted Domain to be the Domain Name.
Secondly it makes $AcceptedDomain variable to equal the name of the first Accepted Domain.
The first domain may be not the default Accepted Domain.
So I have configured the script as below
$acceptedDomains = Get-AcceptedDomain | ? {$_.Default -eq "True"} ;
if ($acceptedDomains -eq $null)
WriteError ("There is no accepted domain so user can not be created.")
$acceptedDomain = $acceptedDomains.DomainName;
if($UseDomainController -eq $true)
$user = New-MailUser -Name $username -DomainController $DomainController -ExternalEmailAddress $username@$acceptedDomain;
set-mailuser -Identity $user.Identity -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true -DomainController $DomainController
else
$user = New-MailUser -Name $username -ExternalEmailAddress $username@$acceptedDomain;
set-mailuser -Identity $user.Identity -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true;
I hope This help.
Thanks
