Tftp is used in particular to download images into ROCs, PMCs and IOCs. To activate, uncomment following line in /etc/inetd.conf file:

tftp	dgram	udp6	wait	root	/usr/sbin/in.tftpd	in.tftpd -s /tftpboot

and run

inetconv

to generate manifest file. Start 'tftp' service:

svcadm enable /network/tftp/udp6

Create directorory /tftpboot. All files you want to download using 'tftp' must be placed in that directory. Normally you will copy all files from another machine running 'tftp' service.
