Installation:

yum install tftp tftp-server* xinetd*

Edit file /etc/xinetd.d/tftp, set 'disable=no' and add '-c' to server_args:

service tftp
{
	socket_type		= dgram
	protocol		= udp
	wait			= yes
	user			= root
	server			= /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
	server_args		= -c -s /var/lib/tftpboot
	disable			= no
	per_source		= 11
	cps			= 100 2
	flags			= IPv4
}

Enable and Start TFTP Service

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.
