Please note the point that you need to manually create the file backup_myrouter in /tftpboot before you start the copy operation or else you will get a error message saying file not found. Say i want to take the running configuration from the router.Īddress or name of remote host ? 192.168.1.100ĭestination filename ? backup_myrouterġ030 bytes copied in 2.489 secs (395 bytes/sec) Imagine you have a router with ip 192.168.1.1 and the ip of our tftp server is 192.168.1.100

Step 6:- Taking backup from a network device You should see something like 0.0.0.0:69 LISTEN or else restart the xineted service Step 5:- checking tftp service is running #/etc/init.d/xinetd start (start tftp service through xinetd) bionic (18. #chown -R nobody /tftpboot (making nobody as the owner of the directory) You have searched for packages that names contain tftp in all suites, all sections, and all architectures. #chmod -R 777 /tftpboot (giving read write permissions for all users and group) Step 4:- Create a tftp directory where you will hold the tftp backups of network devices.I m using root directory for the same and calling it as tftpboot Step 3: – Add the below contents to this file

Step2:- Create one file with name tftp under /etc/xinetd.d Step 1 : – Install tftp and other related packages on the system You needs to be root or a user with sudo privilege Here are the steps for setting up TFTP Server for network devices on Linux(For me Ubuntu).But for all the UNIX/Linux flavors it will be the same almost 🙂
