I'm having difficulty communicating with the SolarWinds TFTP server I just installed on my system. Our firmware for our 3324's are a decade old, and I was attempting to update the firmware using the 332448-1213.dos file that I unzipped after entering in my Service Tag on the website.
By default, the TFTP server creates a root directory in C:/TFTP-Root, which I have been attempting to use (I put the firmware in this folder) I wanted to backup the running-config prior to making any changes, so I found some Dell documentation for 3324 switches that states that by running the following commands I would be able to backup the startup-config and running-config prior to making any changes. I figured that this would also be a way to test my TFTP server as well. I telnet into the switch from my desk and the commands that I'm trying are:
console# copy startup-config tftp://192.168.2.119/startup.bak
console# copy running-config tftp://192.168.2.119/running.bak
My TFTP server shows as "started" (UDP-69), allows all IP addresses to send & receive files.
After I run either command from the CLI, I see:
.......................................................................%TFTP-N-TIMERSEND: Timeout
Copy: Undefined error
%COPY-W-TRAP: The copy operation has failed
I am able to ping my system from the CLI (My system is where the TFTP server is installed on) I'm not really sure what to do at this point. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
