TFTP server error

FormerMember
FormerMember

Attempting to transfer file to Cisco 2924 XL switch of 8mb ram from server 192.168.0.102 to switch address 192.168.0.10

Configured TFTP ok..

Both devices can ping each other ok

When attempting to copy file to switch..gets error of timed out

Below are commands used..

On the switch (Logged in as admin)

Switch#copy tftp flash:

Address or name of remote host [192.168.0.102]?

Source filename [cp7912080003sccp070409a.sbin]?

Destination filename [cp7912080003sccp070409a.sbin]?

Accessing t192.168.0.102/cp7912080003sccp070409a.sbin...

%Error opening t192.168.0.102/cp7912080003sccp070409a.sbin (Timed out)

Switch#

The log for TFTP server shows no ip address in range of allowed addresses..

Any ideas are greatly appreciated...

  • Is there a firewall running on 192.168.0.102?  You may want to turning that off 1st, then see if it works.  If that is the issue then you will need to configure the firewall to allow TFTP IP port # 69.

    Thanks Zak for your reply..

    Firewall is off..and TFTP program configured to allow UDP port 69..

  • This is probably obvious but is the TFTP Server service started? At the bottom of the Solarwinds TFTP Server window it should have "TFTP Server service status : Started". It doesn't start by default.

    And is the file you are trying to copy located in the TFTP Server Root Directory? This is configured on the General tab in Configure.

    And lastly on the Security Tab is Permitted Transfer Types set to either 'Send files' or 'Send and Receive files'? And in IP Address Restrictions is 'Allow all IP addresses to send/receive files' selected.

  • Can you send or receive files from this TFTP server to other network devices?

    Thanks for your response.

    Other devices are ok. To confirm each of your questions.

    There is also another Tab called Server bindings..that appears ok.

    There error log shows ok.

    I ran netstat -an |find ":69" from CLI

    Output is...

    TCP :53 :0 LISTENING

    UDP :53 :

    UDP :88 :

    UDP :389 :

    UDP :464 :

    I am running vmware server version 2 with Ubuntu linux (but that isnt

    operational..ie running) which may account for some of these..

    I deleted existing entry in wf.msc (server 2008) of solarwinds tftp

    and created new entry..

    All to no affect..

    I had thought this was an easy program to setup...

    Your help is appreciated..

  • For me this program has always worked and was easy to setup. And it obviously works for you as well except for this one device.

    So that concludes that your TFTP setup must be ok. That only leaves the device you are trying to TFTP with.

    What is different about this device? ACL's? How is it connected to the network? Tried a direct connection with your TFTP server? Cleared the startup config of the device and rebooted and then try again?
