2598.0. "tftp, to a cisco box from vms ?" by HOO78C::TURHAN () Fri Mar 20 1992 09:18

    
    I received a problem of how to download a configuration file to a cisco
    router by using mcc. Requirement is to trigger the cisco for a download
    and perform the download by TFTP.
    
    To what I could find out until now is that we do not support tftp on
    the vax platform. Only ultrix can do this.
    
    Could someone can confirm this. Does anybody know of any plans of tftp
    on vms ? Is there a way to fulfill this function from impm easily.

2598.1Pathworks may have tftp in next release?NYDVIA::ROWLEYFri Mar 20 1992 15:577
    Try talking to the Pathworks people.  The TFTP protocol is also
    required to load a Proteon CNX500.  My understanding is that the next
    version of Pathworks will include TFTP.  Whether it is a PC based
    application or a VMS application, I am not sure.

2598.2tftp support neededHOO78C::TURHANSun Mar 22 1992 16:3111
    
    I think it is important we suppply this functionality on vms. Demo was
    done to a large corporate customer and so far, they seem impressed with
    the snmp management capabilities that we offer, except their need of
    performing tftp operations.
    
    Do you have any names working in this area ?
    
    Thanks,

2598.3Try SMURF::CONNECTIONTOOK::MINTZErik Mintz, DECmcc Development, dtn 226-5033Sun Mar 22 1992 18:428
I believe that you will find a discussion of this topic in the
SMURF::CONNECTION notes conference.  The TCP/IP protocol suite
(including FTP) for VMS is provided as part of "TCP/IP services for VMS",
(formerly UCX).  The people associated with that group are likely to
know the most about TFTP.

2598.4part of being a SNMP managerSKIBUM::GASSMANMon Mar 23 1992 06:566
    This will come up again though - MCC needs to understand TFTP, and be
    able to configure and trigger it - cause things being managed by MCC
    use that protocol in addition to SNMP.

2598.5HOO78C::TURHANThu Mar 26 1992 10:5911
    
    This week there is the DECUS Holland Symposium taking place. I gave a
    presentation on managing TCP/IP networks with DECmcc.
    
    As you can image, one of the questions, supported by many people was
    tftp. We need to address this under mcc.

2598.6TFTP and MCC ...SUBWAY::REILLYMike Reilly - New York Bank DistrictThu Apr 09 1992 18:1027
    You can always use TFTP from Ultrix. I tried writing some cisco
    configuration files from a router to a DECstation and it worked!!
    
    Here are a few safety tips...
    
    1.	Make sure the /etc/services file includes the line
    	defining the tftp socket.
    
    2.	Make sure the /etc/inetd.cf file has the line defining the
    	TFTP server uncommented.
    
    3.	Before you can write a file to the Ultrix host from the router, you
    	must have created a file with the same name on the server.
    	eg.	touch /usr/cisco/cisco1_confg
    
    4.	The file most be world readable and world writable.
    	eg.	chmod 777 /usr/cisco/cisco1_confg
    
    5.	When sending the config file from the router, the complete file
    	name including it's path must be specified.
    
    
    I have a copy of the source code for TFTPD, and there is a chance
    that it could be compiled on VMS using the new POSIX kit.  If
    anybody wants access to the code send me a mail message.

	Hi...

	Since the last writing has there been any change of status for
	TFTP support under DECmcc?

	Thanx, -ric.
2598.8Ask the developers.RACER::daveAhh, but fortunately, I have the key to escape reality.Thu Oct 15 1992 17:452
Ask in the POSIX and/or UCX conferences.
They might be able to tell you what their products are doing.

	I'm more interested in DECmcc in this conference.  I've already
	asked in the others.

	Thanks,

	-ric.
